Anyone get the feeling that Taylor is playing the game to get back to the Broncos

They are accountable. There is very little the club can do to convince me to renew next year. Wife has no interest and I honestly can't give tickets away unless I'm giving them to a supporter of the opposition.
They don't have a home ground anymore. They attract crowds on the basis that the team they support will flog us and they'll be there to see it.
I think we should be looking at Euan Aitken whom the Dragons are trying to offload. Has had a poor year in a poor team but a good coach could turn him around. Dragons will possibly subsidise his contract.
Not sure where Aitken fits though. We have Kelly on the left and Watkins has been okay on the right.
Wing and second row are more where we need to fill imo
Dale Copley 2.0. Good with ball in hand, terrible in defence. No thanks
I think if push comes to shove, we will subsidise contracts provided they're not asking for a ludicrous amount. I took it as more of a scare tactic to try to light a fire under the likes of Peachey, i.e. don't expect to be able to sook your way into a subsidised contract.
I tend to agree. For instance I cannot see the club saying no to paying half of Latu's freight to sign somebody who is actually first grade standard. Same goes for Copley and Roberts, they would be silly to not chip in portion of their salary to get them off the books. I think the media talk is more about preventing other clubs from trying to low ball us.
I see Newcastle is going to give an 18yo junior a crack this weekend in first grade. (This isn't a stat but) I reckon we would be one of the worst teams in the comp for not giving our youngsters game time. Apart from Arthars have we debuted anybody this year? Two games ago Penrith had a team who were all local juniors apart from Tamou and the Bronco's have been playing a very young team all season. Sure neither team is going to win the comp but I'm sure that we would all rather be where they are on the table than where we are. Why do we keep persevering with these plodders that other clubs don't want?
