We have profiled some of the recent disastrous sojourns by NRL players into the inferior Super League.
2. David Taylor
After an extremely underwhelming four years on the Gold Coast in which he lost his Queensland Origin and Australian Kangaroos jumpers, it was hope that big Dave Taylor could reinvigorate himself in the form of a deal with the Perpignan based Catalans Dragons.
Taylor was billed as a big signing (both physically and metaphorically) by Dragons coach Laurent Frayssinous, citing his speed, agility, and size as major assets for the Dragons in their bid for a Super League title.
Sadly for Taylor and Frayssinous, his career continued on a drastic downward spiral that hadn't stopped since he departed the Rabbitohs at the end of 2012.
Taylor featured regularly for the Dragons in the first season of his deal, but his fitness and commitment were constantly questioned, a notion that has become all too common with the former Origin forward.
At the conclusion of the 2016 season, Taylor was a part of a mass clean out that occurred in the South of France, being told by the Dragons hierarchy that he was surplus to requirements.
Taylor's career has since sadly faded out, making sporadic appearances for the Canberra Raiders, before joining the Toronto Wolfpack, followed by a stint with the Queensland Cup side the Central Queensland Capras.
