David Taylor

[Morkel]

Why would he work hard? With his talent, there's always going to be someone who will throw the chequebook at him. He gets big dollars, and gets to put in some grubbers and cut out passes most weekends. He already knows his dream of playing fullback is never going to happen, a fat wallet and backyard footy will have to do.

 

[Nashy]

Get him for cheap to make Blair look good.

 

[vertigo]

You can't help people who don't want to help themselves.

Everyone's played out this scenario a thousand times over, not even a public spray from Mal was enough for him to wake up from whatever the hell is holding him back, who knows what it is but I'm so proud of what Boyd did to make himself a better person, even though he was still playing well with all that baggage.

Dave is content to only put in when it suits him, it's selfish and I don't want him anywhere near this team for fear of having it rub off on anyone.

 

[Renegade]

nah, the hell with taylor, could've been something special but just wanted to **** around. what a waste.

 

[jarro65]

I think his days in the NRL are numbered.

ESL is calling i'd imagine.

 

[Fozz]

Prodigious talent, pea heart.

Enjoy the English summer Dave.

I still remember that Origin game where Luke O'Donnell smacked him around like a little kid in a schoolyard fight.

Embarrasing.

I wish the penny dropped with Dave. If he takes his finger out and is fair dinkum I'd take him as a prop. Simplify his game. Catch the ball, run hard, find your elbows and knees and play the ball quick. No fancy plays, no kicks, dumb penalties etc.

I don't think he realises how big he really is, instead he's persistent on being a five-eighth. He was supposedly at he's lightest and fittest this pre-season with the Titans, but all the turmoil off the field certainly hasn't helped the Titans cause or Taylors for that matter.

I have a soft spot for all Broncos, both past and present, and so naturally I wish the best for Taylor, especially since Taylor debuted with us and is a Broncos junior. I just want to see him succeed and the only place I see that happening is under Bennett's tutelage. Sadly he's career has been on the down-slide since he left the Broncos mostly due to his poor attitude.

To think some people wanted him ahead of Gillett.

Former Queensland Origin player Dave Taylor’s ‘pathetic’ Super League season looks over

FORMER Queensland and Australia forward Dave Taylor’s debut Super League season could be over after the Catalans Dragons star was charged with eye-gouging and a dangerous throw.


Having fled the NRL in a bid to rejuvenate his flagging rugby league career, Taylor was on the end of an almighty spray from Great Britain great Garry Schofield for his ‘pathetic’ play over the weekend.
And to top it off the former Gold Coast, Brisbane and South Sydney player is accused of making a dangerous throw on second rower Dean Hadley during the Dragons’ 44-0 Super League defeat at Hull.


It is a grade B offence which normally carries a ban of one-to-two matches but, more seriously, Taylor is accused of gouging St Helens fullback Jonny Lomax during the Catalans’ previous game against Saints at Langtree Park, which carries a ban of between four-and-eight matches.


Taylor, who is likely to be sidelined for a spell with a broken rib sustained in last Thursday’s match, is not eligible for an early guilty plea after he served a one-match ban earlier in the season for a dangerous throw and will face a hearing on Tuesday.

Sounds like he would fit in at the Wigan Warriors with that kind of grubbiness.

 

[vertigo]

Lol the video of his defensive 'effort' from another game was hilarious.

Remember when this idiot put QLD under enormous pressure in 2014 thinking he was a halfback throwing the ball over the sideline, he basically cost us the series.

 

[Sproj]

It is a real shame, he could have been anything, instead he is just an absolute waste of a career. You think of players like Docker, Yow Yeh, Dwyer and McKinnon and how hard they all seemed to work and how everything was taken away from them and then you've got blokes like this guy.

That is why I will always respect players like Maranta who have almost no natural talent but get to or near the top simply because they want it. Give me a team of Marantas over a team of David Taylors any day.

Not eligible for an early plea after already serving a one match ban?

I quite like that system. Why can't we have it here?

I think the more hilarious effort was Game 2, 2012.

Went to pick up a ball in the in-goal that was already on the ground and knocked it on and bombed a try.

I remember that. I think we got the dropout because it was ruled NSW grounded it just before all that happened. Sorta saved face for Dave's **** up in a way.

 

[Broncoman]

I remember someone on this forum back 3 years ago saying that the reason why Taylor is such a flop is because he had so much ability and talent that he never had to work for anything as a junior. He just skated through on his own ability and it caught up to him.

His own fault that he pissed his career into the wind. Could've been the best second rower off all time but he never tried or had a go.

 

[Nashy]

Bennett moved him on. That's an indicator that he was never worth the hassle. It's a shame to see this, because for every one useless fuckwit, there are hundreds of young players who would absolutely kill to be in first grade.

 

[GCBRONCO]

I remember a quote from Gordy(back when he wasn't so aggressively biased against the Broncos) "I heard Wayne Bennett talk to Johnny Lang at a press conference and said he'll do your head in,"
