Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 2958916, member: 9651"] There is a fair bit of bitterness in this post haha! I don't disagree with your points but I am never surprised when clubs throw big cash at spine players. There is always an element of risk when you pay overs for a young player but its essentially building the long term foundations of the club. I reckon you'd be hard pressed to find a Newcastle fan who doesn't think that Ponga is worth the cash they are paying him. That's obviously with hindsight because at the time they offered Ponga that cash it was pure speculation as to how quickly he would develop etc. The Cows missed out but they were busy trying to satisfy the demands of the best forward in the competition and were yet to tie down Hess and Morgan. I don't think the Taylor situation is too different except for the fact they play very different positions. Both have tremendously high potential but given their respective roles I think its reasonable to assume Taylor will take longer to fully develop his game. We might be talking about the best halfback in the game in two years time and then the money may be justified. The prop situation at the Titans next season is a joke when you consider what Boyd and Wallace will be on. They aren't even in the top 3 forwards at the club! [/QUOTE]
