JASON TAYLOR SACKED EFFECTIVE IMMEDIETLY

Just announced on Nine News

Phil Rothfield - The Daily Telegraph.

JASON Taylor is expected to be sacked as Wests Tigers coach within 24 hours.

The Daily Telegraph understands the board members have made the decision to move in another direction afterSunday’s thumping 46-6 loss to the Canberra Raiders.

It had also become clear superstar fullback James Tedesco, skipper Aaron Woods, five-eighth Mitchell Moses and halfback Luke Brooks were not prepared to sign new contracts while Taylor was the NRL head coach.

All have hesitated in recent negotiations because of the uncertainty over the coaching position.

Wests Tigers coach Jason Taylor is set to be sacked following his team’s dismal showing against the Raiders.

The players do not dislike Taylor but feel they need new direction to become better players and win a premiership at the Wests Tigers.

It is uncertain if Taylor will go immediately or stay for the remainder of the season when his contract is up.

Cowboys assistant coach Todd Payten or former Warriors and Panthers coach Ivan Cleary would presumably be ready to start immediately.

Looking like they're the new Tele whipping team, with the Simona incident and now this.

All smooth sailing @TheParraEels ;)

Wow, who would want to be a coach in the NRL. They lost because they have a weak squad overall. Yes they do have some very good attacking players, but overall they are weak. I wouldn't like to be that new coach coming in.

  They have a very talented team and with a good coach would be the best attacking team in the comp.

As long as the 'Big 4" realise that after JT is sacked they have no more excuses.

All well and good to blame the coach but these guys have to take some responsibility.

  I believe this was the case when the Tigers got rid of Mick Potter too...

Is Aaron Woods the new Robbie Farah? He seems to have a big say off the field as well as on it?

  Never too soon, but that debacle and others under Taylor's watch certainly wouldn't have helped?
