Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2672836, member: 1899"] [b]Re: Should Ashley Taylor Be Promoted[/b] Ashley Taylor is a quality talent who I believe will play NRL at some point. However he won't be a regular in 2015, nor should he be. I think it's important the Broncos develop him cautiously because I feel there are still areas of his game that he needs to address where he would be better off fixing them in the NYC and ISC than learning on the fly in the NRL. I believe other clubs have made the mistake of throwing their best in the deep end and not quite getting the most out of those players and I question how Taylor would go in a far more intense and physically oriented environment. Watching the NYC compared to the NRL, it's like watching a game of OzTag compared to the real thing, the defence is a lot softer, there's more room and teams are very generous with their mistakes. It would be an extraordinary change from Bennett to completely change the team around to fit in a rookie mid-way through the year. The ramifications of such a move would have a flow on effect and I doubt it will all be positive as the team has to make adjustments right as other teams are establishing and using combinations. Long term, it maybe the right move but I also believe timing is crucial too and right now, the time is to build on what the Broncos have, not tear the page out and move on. And I believe that's the best in everybody's interests. [/QUOTE]
