Was i wrong to be under the assumption that we were just about to sign Dave Taylor

Saw an article earlier claiming the Titans "are not letting him go anywhere"

It would appear so ... I read that he doesnt want to move. He just purchased a house on the GC and his kids are enrolled in school.

In one of the articles a coach approached the GC and I would hazard to guess that maybe Wayne asked but baulked at the price of 400 K. He is worth half that right now. Overweight and forever underachieving. Gold Coast can keep him. I would go after the Penrith pair of McKendry and Grant. Taylor is an X factor but it is few and far between. We have to get this right. Even if the pain is a bit prolonged in the mean time.

i think Dave taylor is young enough to be quite a good assett

According to a person on the Knights Facebook page, we've signed James Taylor (20 y.o prop) from the Warriors for 3 years.

I've never heard of the guy, was hoping someone here might have an idea.

About 40 minutes worth of footage.

Made 220m in the NYC Grand Final last year.

Was just watching the NYC Grand Final highlights. Not a very large prop, but has a low centre of gravity and good leg drive.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Not really what we need. Still need an established proop in his prime

 

[perverse]

Yeah, not tall... but built like a brick shithouse all the same.

Looks to be a really good pickup.

 

[League_God]

We'd be better off signing Jake Finn from Wests. Same build, killed it last year for wests - MOTM in the grand final and still only 22. Played Aus schoolboys with Aaron woods and Boyd Cordner. His best years are still ahead of him.

Our NYC signing history is pretty ordinary! Henry and O'Donnell were epic flops. Tonga Liki Liki another.

Yep. How many years before this bloke hits firsts????

 

[Joker's Wild]

Tonga has played firsts for us and the Titans

I think you mean Toka, who will get his chance soon imo

I was referring to the new signing James Taylor. Should have eplained that a little better. Just don't see why Wayne would ok a jnr prop to come to the club if he's going to play the next three years or so in NYC then NSW Cup. Would have thought we'd be after a starting prop - NOW!

Anyone have any news on O'donnell? I thought he may go OK in first grade but i haven't heard a thing about him since he left.

This guy obviously isn't in our top 25 players- I can't see an issue with us signing a promising junior and getting them into our system to develop.

Someone else on that knights Facebook page said we've approached kasiano, and there was a quote from Wayne about it too
