Must admit, I was at Paul Taylor's first and only game and apart from wearing headgear and getting helped off the field, don't think he did anything else in his 12 mins.
Seemed to be a solid pro that was good at organising teams and did the unglamorous stuff that doesn't get noticed.
Chris Mortimer got a load of stick at Wakey for doing just this, because he was an Aussie, people expected another Wally Lewis.

If I remember correctly it was a challenge cup game, at BV against Wigan,Paul Taylor was flown over especially for the game, the rest is history.

Shock horror, player fails to do anything spectacular in his very first (and only) TWELVE minutes in a Trinity shirt.

I think to judge someone on 12 minutes of playing time has to be almost the most ridiculous thing I've read on here in a while.

Whoa! Hold on there tiger!
I was not having a go at Taylor, was just replying and comparing what I remember that he did that day.
Was defending him and would have thought the rest of my post would have indicated that.

I haven't read back through this thread but for the two players mentioned recently.
Taylor was a great player for Parramatta. He would have fitted our team perfectly. His injury was certainly unfortunate and can't really blame him for it. I don't suppose we lost a lot of money on the deal so i can't see why he would be on anyone's list.

Mortimer did get some stick at the time but as said, mainly because people thought we were getting Steve Mortimer.
Chris did a great job in my opinion and was a massive leader on the field. The people I know who were at the club at that time speak very highly of him.
