Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2844811, member: 8215"] Considering the amount of decades Rugby League has been going, "once in a decade" pretty much suggests they'll be an Immortal. Calling Taylor that is even beyond Media-spec sensationalism. It's so perpetually revisionist that, even if a famed revisionist wrote what you wrote, then we'd never know because the imbedded revisionism would have revised any evidence of them revising it. 2015 was a long time ago in Rugby League terms but not that long ago for most of us to have forgotten the circumstances. The biggest concern wasn't Taylor leaving. It was Taylor [I]and[/I] Jayden leaving, which left us with only Kodi as our only backup half with any decent NRL experience (and even then it was as bench hooker). The level of worry about Taylor leaving was almost mirrored by that of the exit of Jayden, seeing as he was being touted as the more talented of the Niko brothers. So yeah, plenty were concerned by the exit, but not because Taylor was already ordained the next Immortal. It wasn't even because the consensus was that Hunt was going to turn to shit (which again seems like something that has become an accepted truth, even though it was never the case). It was because with two young halves leaving, our halves depth was going to be seriously tested, especially because most of us expected both Hunt & Milford to be missing a large chunk of the year through Origin.
