Elijah Taylor

The only one I'd really like there is Elijah Taylor but apparently he's about to re-sign.

"LB, Clint, Pops. I’m also on the “both are great to have” bus, and they complement each other. My only question mark is the long-term sustainability of keeping both. TDS is tied up, but I'd say the club would be keen to extend Ryley before Nov 1st…"

"Well Ryles was adament, even after Smith debuted that he wanted a 2nd Hooker. Tried to get Brailey for a while.
He must see Smith as something else. But i do not see him signing Da Silva on decent coin and for so many years just to be a 14 or…"

Rumor has it the dogs have passed on Idris and the tigers are keen on him.

Degas done nothing wrong but to become a real threat number 9 gotta have great vision n a good kicking. They hard to find though. Agree than some number 7's (Robson) would make easy tradition to the 9.
