Troy Taylor [merged]

[Jackstar is back again]

I have a question.
If the person wasnt Troy Taylor and had the same unconfirmed potential and lived in Melbourne, lets the kids name was Joe Bloggs who came from Broadmeadows, and Joe walked out of the RFC, would RFC keep offering the opportunity to return???
NO !.
Many players have walked away or have been told to not come back.
I wonder why this case is different ???

The club showed the same compassion to Polak as well.

Some injuries are physical... the more subtle and quite harder ones to overcome are mental issues.
Often a more lonely struggle... where the right choices are harder to see and make.
Beyond race and culture... depression affects individuals across the spectrum of life.

It saddens me to see such hatred toward another culture or race..... such intolerance and unwillingness to walk in another persons shoes.... or understand their ways.

We are all people... trying to find our way in this crazy World.

He is a kid (19)..yeah he might not make it.... but i am proud of the way the club is handling it all.... especially in this age where money rules sports and athletes are regarded as assets in a business.
Well done Tigers... it just makes me love the club all the more..... now doubt it makes the players play for the jumper more too... knowing that the club cares about them as people as well as employees.

[Jackstar is back again]

the club have not shown the same compansion to several players I know
Especially the player who had the gambling issues.

I think jack the question that needs to be asked this season is ''is he keeping anyone of the rookies out of the side"

[Penelope]

Jackstar, is it a fair comparison to compare what the club does now compared to what they did pre last year?

It's a different coaching regime with a different outlook. Surely doing things different to how it was done is a good thing, considering there was not too much we have got right in the last three decades?

You are dead right X.  Compassion comes in many forms, knowing how to handle different personalities with the right amount of caring, support and toughness depending on the circumstances.  This has already happened in a very significant way with one of the names you mentioned and it is 'enlightening' to say the least reading some of the posts choosing no support or further chances for Taylor.  If only they knew.........................

Was that the only reason? If you're talking about who I think you are the kid was on the list for a couple of years and only ever had one good game in the reserves.

You are right, he is black - that is the only reason. Black money is the reason he is on our list, that is why we have a set quota on our list.

Ignorance is bliss.

Isnt it funny how people preach without having any clue about the topic they are discussing.

[Muscles]

Wondering if there was any outcome to this following CC's visit to Darwin or whether it was all just spin?

That's just wrong.

Black doesn't have any money, he is just a down on his luck closet Bulldog supporter.
