Pearce would likely be the one to go.

Titans will make an offer if taylor leaves

 

[Painin the Haas]

Not the sort of half we need.

Why not? solid kicking game good running game payed halfback before coming to first grade and only reason he doesn't now much is because he's played with two established halfbacks in Pearce and Reynolds

I'm not his biggest fan I rather Taylor or croft but with the way things are going I wouldn't be surprised

 

[Porthoz]

I don't see any reason why Milford can't combine with Taylor well. Taylor isn't as much of a dominant half as Marshall.

The biggest concern is whether Taylor would be able to live up to the price tag. Two seasons in and he has shown very little improvement in all of the important aspects of a halfback's job.

This is about the time Hunt started to cop a lot of shit...

I'm curious... what do you think a halfback's job is?

We've had this discussion before. A few times, in fact.

I can't remember, and your Hunt quote makes me wonder.

Hunt and Taylor are different players. Hunt is a running half (ie five-eighth/hooker) whereas Taylor is obviously a kicking halfback. To us, Taylor is worth the money because it's something we don't have.

Also, Hunt was copping it because a) he's older and had played probably 100 extra games than Taylor has after the 'two years in' mark and b) he was playing for our club and we wanted results.

I'm as forgiving as anyone when it comes to Hunt's three pointless seasons of riding the bench, but it was also up to him to improve his game, and that really didn't happen. He was untouchable in games here and there, but there's such a big difference between his good and bad days (which sometimes happen in the same game). As he's been quoted, he believes his skills are good enough, which is proof he won't be an elite player.

I'll qualify by saying I haven't watched a lot of Taylor's matches because Titans, but he's younger and has more complete all-round skills for a halfback and with that I imagine comes better game control and decision making, something we've sorely lacked since Lockyer.

The money, for mine, doesn't matter so long as he doesn't regress and we don't have any dumb releases making it happen

Lodge needs to commit before they can submit to the NRL.
Not sure that has happened.

 

[Taylor1921]

I said the current Milford. He is pretty much nothing like he was back then.

Nothing like he was.. the whole team was nothing like it was. Milford was still good this season.

 

[Mitchell_Broncos]

Apparently the Broncos are yet to submit a contract to the NRL for Lodge..

Just get it fucking done already.

If he isn't in our side it will be Sims and McGuire as our 2 props and Thaiday on the Bench. Bird to lock.

They have to tick all the boxes before they do this. And they still have some boxes to tick (ie sign the captain)

Hunt was copping it as well because he cant kick for shit and he dropped the ball in the GF. He had a stella year in 2015 winning a few games for us in GP and setting plays up for us to win, line breaks, try assist as he should being the halfback, but after 2015 he lost his touch i put that down to confidence and he lacked that after what happened in the GF.

I put it down to coaching he became far more robotic and structured when comparing 2016 to his 2015 & 2014

Waiting for November 1, when the NRL are actually willing to consider registering a contract for him...

He is still residing in Brisbane and hasn’t left to go back to Sydney has Badel’s article suggested he would back in July. I don’t think he is remaining in Brisbane for no reason...

Yeah it really seems like you just misunderstood the Hunt comment..

It's the Lurker but apparently David Fafita is close to re-signing for a few more years.

[Danoz Direct]

From the Lurker

The Broncos have fended off aggressive approaches from rival clubs and are poised to sign the hottest property in schoolboy footy to a long-term deal.
Keebra Park captain David Fifita - a cousin of twins Andrew and David Fifita - won the Peter Sterling Medal for the best player in high school football recently.
The 18-year-old is already in the Broncos’ system - but rival clubs are making overtures to sign him for 2019.
His manager Steve Deacon is close to extending Fifita for another couple of years at the Broncos, however.
A hulking back-rower, Fifita will train the summer with the NRL squad and may even taste top grade footy next year.

Good shit.
