Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2711000, member: 1899"] Here is Taylor's side of the story [url]http://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/wests-tigers-coach-jason-taylor-explains-decision-to-allow-martin-taupau-to-sign-with-manly/story-e6frf3wu-1227588357700[/url] So basically, they couldn't come to terms with Taupau so they cut the chord early so they could focus on the future. I understand the logic but the Tigers aren't in a position where they can cut right to the chase. Who else do they have other than Woods? Sauaso Sue, Curtis Sironen and Michael Chee-Kam are not going to cut the mustard. At least by having Taupau stay around an extra season, you could use his experience and expertise to help blood the next generation instead of exposing them a year early. The likes of Felise, Graham and Cassell could turn out to be handy first grade players but none of them are ready for the rigors and they need to be carefully blooded through the grades. I feel sorry for Taylor in this situation, but he's got the whole 'when life gives you lemons' scenario all wrong. He isn't trying to make Lemonade, he's trying to make Coca Cola! How can you compete with the heavyweights when you're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole? That's the issue I have with Taylor as a coach. He isn't flexible and he doesn't do anything to help fix the situation. [/QUOTE]
