He was*the*Gold Coast Titans’ marquee signing now*Dave Taylor*must find a new club or he will be playing for the Tweed Heads Seagulls.

The enigmatic Taylor is all but guaranteed to leave the tourist strip at the end of this season, one year before his contract expires.

The*Gold Coast*have formally told Taylor’s management he is not part of their 2016 plans and have offered him to rival NRL and*Super League*clubs.

The former Origin backrower will not be taking a pay cut to leave even if it means he is a $500,000 Tweed Heads second rower.

I'm sure Lyall would love that. I highly doubt Bird is going anywhere as long as we offer him what he's worth, which we will. We will have a good team next year.

I think our halves will be awsome next year. We have signed 2 form players. With bird and beale in the centres (beale still has to prove his worth in my mind but hes been good the last few weeks). A back 3 of val barba and feki. Best backline for a long time. I avoid doing this but my team would look like this:
1. Barba
2. Val
3. Beale
4. Bird
5. Feki
6. Maloney
7. Chad
8. Fafita
9. Ennis
10. Gal
11. Wade
12. Lewis
13. Bukuya
14. Fafita
15. Taga
16. Tupou
17. Nu brown.

every man and his dog will put a offer to him come the start of November. The key is to re-sign him before then but I just can't see his manager doing that, they will want go test the open market to see what's out there even if it's to get extra money out of us

Signing maloney has probably helped us retain young Jackson, hope him and Val are sharks for life

Foxsports has linked us to Dan Sarginson (young Wigan centre) for next year. Source: Nathan Ryan's weekly column of rumours/player movements/whatever he can pinch off forums without it looking too obvious e.g. that the Dragons are after Brendan Elliott which was posted on LU yesterday.

Sounds like a pretty obvious troll effort on Rothfield.

Good solid prop. Has really improved.

Starling is really mediocre guys. C'mon fellas. At least bring up someone exciting.

I just looked up Sarginson, his super league stats didn't really give much away except that he makes a crap-tonne of carries each game. Is he any good?

Not that unbelievable considering they need a 5/8 to partner DCE.

Bird has admitted to enjoy playing at 5/8 but will be playing centre next year with the acquisition of Maloney and Chad. They'd be stupid not to at least try and entice him.

From what I've heard A huge part of Maloney coming to the sharks was Bird. They wanted to play in the same team week in week out. Bird ain't going nowhere.
