I noticed Myles Taueli played for the Dolphins against PNG.

For those unaware, Taueli was one of the more promising prop forwards coming through the NSW system before a couple of DUI charges derailed his career last season.

At 22-years old and a long career ahead of him, I wonder if we'll see him invited to the Broncos 2017/18 pre-season? I know if I was looking to replace a player like Ese'ese, he'd be the type of player I'd want to bring in.

@Wolfie what do you think? Worth a trial?
 
Only 250cm and 135kg but might be worth a punt. We would be ahead of the curve of size at least. :porthozthinksthisishot:

He was very good in defence coming off the bench. 19 tackles and 0 missed. Kept Dolphins' defence strong after Anderson got them in a good position.

Dolphins only missed 16 for the game.

Two tackle breaks and a line break too. He has got a few Dolphin's player player awards. Jets was his best game this year.

He was going really well at the start of the year and attracted some interest but I think they want to see if he can sort his life out.

I think so. As 1910 said, if he can sort himself out he could be a good pick up. Bennett and our culture could be a good i fluence on him. Still young enough to have a really good career. Depends really on his desire. He certainley has the ability.

Add Nona to your list too Big Pete.

Two state championships with Dragons and Pride- both with JD as coach. Starting to play some good football at Wynnum as well.

When did he leave the Dragons/Illawarra?

He is running out of time. He is 26 now. I could see him doing well similar to Walker at Souths if he gets the right move.

Yeah I agree, I like the Walker comparison. That's who I thought of too.

Some of it is self inflected but maybe JD can sort it out.
