Elijah Taylor

[Mark from Brisbane]

He once scored a try against us in a grand final. He's a pretty good player, getting on in years now but a fair stop-gap, maybe taking T Rex's spot as our emergency experienced guy.

Or the fallback should the Cust / Croker experiment flop!!

Yep an experienced hard working defensive type hooker that will take pressure off Jake in the middle. Would be handy for a 30 minute stint and you know he won't let the team down. People say we need a fast attacking type hooker but I'd nearly go a McCullough/ Ballin type to really strengthen our middle defence. I think Taylor can be this guy.
We already have so much speed and attack that I reckon we can get away with a defensive hooker. Both Croker and Taylor could play this role well.

We may have missed the boat on this one. Unless we offer him a contract asap looks like he'll be gone

He will go to the club that is best for his family so where ever the most money is , which can't blame him for that

DES will get his man, if he wants him. Will be interesting to see how this one plays out.

I'm not sure its all about money for him. Sounds Ike he just wants to stay in Sydney, much like Benji. Hard to pack up and move your family across the world with a worldwide pandemic

I didn't see Taylor playing much at the tigers this year. Elijah may well be slowing up a bit, but when you think of the new rules, it should suit this guy more than most.

Happy to miss the boat on a 30 something year old dude who was unable to cement a spot at multiple clubs.

I know u think he was the answer to our short term 9... but the club will do better.

I don't think he was the answer at all but out of what's available he looked a likely candidate after training with Blacktown and I would have been happy with his signature. He would have been a decent signing in my opinion. If we do miss him then im sure Des has another plan anyway

Its the cheese im telling ya

I remain hopeful we won’t have to sign a hooker before round one.

Ex-Test star shattered by $350k agent 'scam'

Massive payout yet unlikely to see a penny

wwos.nine.com.au

Former Kiwi Test forward Elijah Taylor has been left devastated after being allegedly scammed of more than $350,000 by his former manager.

Taylor, who played with Wests Tigers last season before being released, took his ex-manager Ian Miles to a civil court in Christchurch and won the case.

He was awarded $484,824 in damages and costs.

But he is unlikely to see a penny of it as Miles, who managed his financial affairs for more than four years, has declared himself bankrupt.

What a clever trick, bankrupcty. I'm pretty sure that money didn't disappear into thin air, but it may as well have so far as Elijah is concerned.

Law is too soft on con artists... and there are too many serials around

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Hopefully the NZ legal system allows the courts to unwind pre-bankruptcy transactions designed to defeat creditors (and ex-spouses).
