Moving forward we are about to have a god of rugby league soon to be Sexton’s dominant halves partner
Ez is all over it
Spot on mate. From Beauey right?
And yeah I agree completely. If there is one thing Holbrook seems to do it is to let players play some footy and play to their strengths, so hopefully we get the chance to see that. I also think he would complement Toby really well.

Good god please don't tell me this was any of you lot taking the piss
Some casual has started a petition to re-sign Ash Taylor and genius Darveniza has written an article about it
Article is behind a paywall. Can someone post it.
It wasn't me by the way. And that journo Nic Darveniza, is as bad a journo I have read. I'd say he finished his journalism course and someone just said, hay mate you can be the league reporter. The Bulletin has just become a pathetic rag which I don't buy anymore.
GOLD Coast Titans players Jarrod Wallace and Erin Clark have added their support to a fan-made Change.org petition imploring the club to re-sign mercurial playmaker Ash Taylor to a contract extension.
Titans fan James Cattermole, 23, of Gatton, launched the petition hours after Taylor’s maestro performance against the Bulldogs helped move the Titans into the top eight with five regular-season games to go.
The movement has gathered more than 200 signatures in Titans social media fan groups and has now caught the attention of Taylor’s teammates.
WHAT THEY SAID
Wallace said he would “absolutely” be adding his name to the petition, with Taylor’s defensive application and leadership blossoming alongside rookie half Toby Sexton in recent weeks.
“I think Ash has done fantastic in what he’s done,” the veteran prop said.
“To get back to where he is, after the struggles he’s had, has showed the type of bloke he is.
“He’s working well with (coach) Justin (Holbrook), his confidence is coming back and he’s showing what he can do.
“His kicking game is fantastic, he’s setting up tries, he’s running and I think everyone has noticed his defence has been fantastic.
“It’s fantastic we have the opportunity to keep him here and I hope I can keep playing with him.”
WILL YOU SIGN THE PETITION? ->*https://www.change.org/p/nrl-re-sign-ash-taylor
Hooker Clark felt the same way.
“I’d love to keep Ash around,” he said.
“He’s such a talent and it just shows in the last couple of weeks he’s really building his game and confidence.
“I can only focus on doing my job and leave that (extension discussion) to whoever has to do it but I’d love to have him around.”
‘COULDN’T MEET A BETTER BLOKE’
The petition’s founder said Taylor’s contributions away from the football field, with the Titans’ Indigenous programs and the Gold Coast University Hospital Foundation, inspired him to register the petition as much as the halfback’s improving form.
“Obviously he’s got to live up to his price tag but I’ve followed him all the way through and I think you couldn’t meet a better bloke,” Cattermole said.
“Ninety per cent of Titans fans absolutely love him.
“He’s always the last one to come off the field after meeting the fans.”
Cattermole hoped his petition would reach the desk of Titans culture chief Mal Meninga to give him an insight into fans’ fondness for Taylor.
My guess is James Cattermole is a Broncos fan.
90% of fans........Only if your fan base is localised to the Taylor family home
Maybe LOT doesn’t mean “League of Titans”, it’s means the “League of (the other) Ten-percent”.
Well I must be in the 10% then and am yet to hear a better option at 6 for next year on here
