Dave Taylor’s NRL career may be over with ‘Coal Train’ battling to retain Gold Coast Titans bench place v Bulldogs
http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/sport/nrl/

DAVE Taylor may have played his last NRL match with the “Coal Train” fighting to keep his place on the Gold Coast Titans bench.

Taylor is in danger of being axed for Sunday’s game against the Canterbury Bulldogs in Gosford.

Titans coach Neil Henry will name his team at 5pm today but Taylor was poor in last Sunday’s loss to Melbourne, playing just 32 minutes in a lethargic performance, and could be omitted.

The Titans are out of finals contention with four rounds to go and Henry may look to the future with his selections given Taylor will head to French Super League club Catalans Dragons next season.

Taylor, who had a $400,000 contract with the Titans for 2016, was given permission to negotiate with rival clubs recently and struck a two-year deal with the Dragons.

The 27-year-old has played 166 NRL matches for Brisbane, South Sydney and Gold Coast since making his debut in 2006.

The Blackwater Crushers product has made eight Origin appearances for Queensland but in many judges’ eyes has failed to reach his potential.

Taylor played for Tweed Heads in the Intrust Super Cup recently and he could see out the remainder of his time on the Gold Coast with the Seagulls.

Henry has ex-Warriors prop Nathaniel Peteru and backrower Matt Robinson in reserve grade waiting for a call-up if he opts to axe Taylor.

Captain Nate Myles may be named to face the Bulldogs but is likely to need another week to recover from a shoulder injury he sustained against the Broncos recently.

Yeah can see us with the spoon , cannot see us winning another game this year

IMO, we are a chance in both the Raiders Away and Dragons home games.

We did beat the Dogs earlier this year, but they are hitting some good form. I'm going regardless.

I just hope Henry persists a little longer om the park with Mortimer at hooker.

I knew this season wasn't going to reach great heights and had us pegged around 11-14 on the ladder but I didn't think we would be duelling to avoid the spoon....... Henry needs to find a way to motivate this team next year as they are going nowhere right now.

[Titanic]

Here comes the dreaded spoon ... I know we have limited choices but looking at this team sheet is just de-motivating.

[Smakked]

I presume he has Hala and Taylor in the side to match the bulldogs size.. Looking grimm

[TitanSam]

I want Hala to kill it, I really want him in this side and I hope he goes well and proves everyone wrong

[Titanic Believer]

I want Hala to kill it, I really want him in this side and I hope he goes well and proves everyone wrong

I have been hoping that for the whole team all year but unfortunately I have been disappointed. I can hope that we see something to give some optimism going into next year.
