Message: [QUOTE="Pigskin, post: 2229757, member: 1858"] He is a prop and 20 years old ... who in the entire NRL has his potential, plays prop, and is 20 years old ? Until now, out of necessity, he has never been given time on the field he clearly needed. We should have just copped his weight issues and form as part of his development. Such a star studded line up that plays large portions of almost every season with zero enthusiasm, yet we can't keep Taylor in the side for his development ? But of course our higher profile players that are taking up huge chunks of our cap are untouchable despite their poor attitude. I just think it was a really dumb move to let him go. Should have paid him whatever was required. And I believe the reports he got 250k for 3 years. So if (?)we offered 220k ... ffs ... stretch it a little and extend by a year. If he stays fat in 18 months time, offload him, pay his salary for somebody else so it doesn't contribute to our cap and move on. Yet another instance of where we could have flexed our financial muscle and chose not to. Perplexes me as much as not spending whatever it took to get the best coach. ie Bellamy. As much as the next fan, I too hope that what they did on Friday night is a glimmer of light that glory is at least possible in 2009 ... while at the same time in the back of my head I'm thinking, wouldn't be a bad thing for us to miss the finals altogether prompting a real shake-up which is way overdue. Oink ! ps ... I think Bruno should be sacked, Ivan should be sacked, Locky should be resigned for 200k total at the most and we should recruit a recruitment department that has a clue. But apart from being a harsh armchair critic, I shall follow them forever ... or until Easts Brisbane enter the comp, whichever comes first. [/QUOTE]
