Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 2180081, member: 1808"] Brisbane coach Ivan Henjak is hoping to unleash a bigger, fitter and faster Dave Taylor this NRL season with the young Bronco putting his future with the six-time premiers on the line this year. Despite being rated a future NRL star, Brisbane only offered the 20-year-old Taylor a one-year deal for season 2009. Clearly they want the former Blackwater Crusher to show he can be disciplined on and off the field before they offer him a long-term deal. Taylor could be pivotal to Brisbane's forward rotation and Henjak needs him to be able to play 20-minute spells in attack and defence. It's a challenge Taylor says he's ready for and which Brisbane and Queensland Origin selectors hope he can deliver. At training Taylor is as skilful with his hands as any back. When he opens the throttle he has exceptional balance and genuine speed for someone who's a massive 120kgs. What he needs is to get his fitness up to NRL standard. "Dave is a lot bigger than what he was last year but he's also a lot fitter and a lot quicker than he was last year," said Henjak. "The key for Dave is trying to get as many minutes out of him. "He'll play all three trials to build him up so hopefully he'll be able to play the minutes we require in our first game." [/QUOTE]
