Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 2797401, member: 1769"] Personally I think it would be foolish to wait until 2019 for Taylor, if we can get a good partner for Milford now. for a number of reasons: 1. 2 years is a long time in rugby league and we have all seen players have good first up seasons that were unable to build on it in their second years or flat out had a shit second season and never recover. 2. It would be foolish to believe that the Titans will just release him to us for next season (even if we did sign him for 2019), The Raiders and Cowboys have showed that sometime clubs are not prepared to release players to clubs early. even we won't release Hunt to the Dragons early, given he is a critical part of the team. 3. Waiting for Taylor could mean that we potentially miss out on signing a quality partner for Milford that is off contract at seasons end and can join us in 2018. I think our best bet would be to look at our options (both internal and external) and see if we can sign or develop a quality half for 2018, then only if we still need to we consider trying to lure Taylor back. On a side note, if the club believe that Kodi Nikorima will be getting first shot in the halves in 2018, then he should play the majority of the season in the ISC (only coming into the NRL team if a halves spot is available due to origin, injury or suspension). I would have a quiet word to him so he knows when he isn't getting selected in the NRL squad, as I believe he is better playing 80mins at halfback in the ISC instead of 15 mins off the bench backing up for Macca [/QUOTE]
