And he's still our best option ... so what does that say about our other halves.

I don't even think Milf is playing better than him.

So we have 4 halves that can't cut it with top 8 teams, a slow fullback and a miniature forward pack. I guess we are doing alright in the scheme of things.
 
As Unbreakable Unbreakable said, this is for next season:


Notably off-contract next season -

Blair (2018)
Thaiday (2018)
Pangai Jr (2018)
Oates (2018)
Sims (2018)
Su'A (2018)

Now would it be worth considering letting four of those guys go if it meant we could sign Taylor?

I mean I don't want to lose anyone either and I'm the cheer leader of the KNik fan club and think he'll do a fantastic job at 7 but it is painfully obvious that with Taylor, we have the missing piece to our premiership puzzle.

The only guy on that list (in my opinion) that is irreplaceable is TPJ. I do not want to lose Oates or Su'a and don't think we will but if it meant getting Taylor, would it be worth it?

Bear in mind, this is all simply because Wayne stuffed up by letting the kid walk for nothing and I remember saying at the time it felt like keeping Sherwin and letting JT leave. Then, our Sherwin also decided to leave too.
 
I love how people are finally seeing Boyd how I was seeing him. He's a good player but not one of the greats. So what happened to the no we need to pay him what ever he wants and he's all this and that and Australia.
 
Actually, I'm also beginning the think the biggest decision we need to make going forward is trying to get Green as coach when Wayne calls it a day. Him or Kevin Walter.

To be fair, you are not and have never been the only one who thinks he isn't Billy Slater. He is not an all-time great fullback but at the same time, he is far better than average.

Most of us also realise that he isn't worth $1 million but then we also realise that regardless, his coach/dad will pay him whatever he wants so what can you do about it?

Even if we get Taylor we won't be premiership 'certainties'. We simply don't have the forward pack to do it. We are short at least one rep quality starting prop and our starting backrow has gone backwards not forwards (pardon the pun) over the last two years.

Cutting that much talent (a few we wouldn't miss on the field) but losing Blair, TPJ and Oates would hurt us far more, than gaining Taylor would benefit us...

I thought I read that he was heading back to Sydney? Has something changed there?

Broncs have seemingly been in his ear and apparently organised a face to face meeting with him and Todd Greenberg on game day of SOO 3.

Apparently since then he is 're-considering' his previous plan... I imagine signing him on $350k - $400k over a few years would go a long way to helping his financial issues...

I maintain we should be chasing him hard and doing all we can to sign him, even if we have to shed some existing players in the group.

From the Courier Mail article on the topic:

Just days after baring all in the revealing interview, Lodge met with NRL CEO Todd Greenberg and COO Nick Weeks – the two most powerful figures in the game.
The meeting took place in Brisbane on the day of the State of Origin decider.
Lodge, who has been sidelined with an elbow injury, was not given any guarantees but the meeting made him think twice about his future.
The Broncos are holding out hope that Lodge decides to keep playing and the NRL clears him to return next season.
