Can't say I'm really a fan of bagging or laughing at Dave Taylor. I actually think deep down that Dave Taylor is one of the reasons people should be laughing at us.
He was one of ours once upon a time with frightening potential and even though he clearly had stuff going on behind the scenes, the fact that the Broncos, the benchmark club in the NRL at the time with a Coach with an unrivalled track record of getting the best out of guys like this, were unable to help him and get him to really achieve his potential both for us and for him was perhaps, in hindsight, an early indicator that things at the Broncos were not the same as they used to be and that this club was moving away from what it once was.
I know it's not all our fault and obviously players have to help themselves too so I'm far from laying the blame solely at our feet, but I do think with the benefit of hindsight that rather than being a source of ridicule, Taylor should be an opportunity for us to reflect on why we couldn't turn this guy into the absolute beast he was probably capable of being.
