Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2550695, member: 1899"] To me, it speaks volumes when one of the game's greatest players spends a fair portion of his book talking about a player like Dave Taylor. Lockyer could have spoken about a ton of players - Webcke, Thorn, Civo, Sailor, Hodgo etc. etc but I don't think any of them got the attention in that book like the coal train did. It was interesting too because it sounded like he was on the right track in 2009 until he received a few hard truths from Henjak. Lockyer made a point later to discuss his opinion on Henjak and noted that he was extremely critical of younger talents, which makes me think he may have been thinking of Taylor who was only 21 when he left the club. It's not as if people didn't expect Taylor to perform this way though. I remember a few posters on RLeague would constantly predict he'd flop in first grade because he was all skill and no substance which turned out to be true. It's a real shame and I can't help but think if he stayed up here and didn't go to Souths when they were the shits, he'd be a much player than he is now. [/QUOTE]
