[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 508440, member: 43875"] Taylor looks like a very solid player, I dont really see issues with his kicking or defense His non selection I think is really just a case of a bit of bad luck but really it's more about the strong competition he has got. Dagg is a done deal to regain his spot and Ben Smith I think is ahead of him mainly for three reasons. 1, Ben Smith has been there before, had one test and looked very good. 2, While Taylor has very much burst onto the scene this year he's been kinda average at super level for the last couple of years - Ben Smith has been in Brilliant form for like three years? Prob unlucky not to get selected ahead of Toeava. 3, workrate - we know the coaches love outside backs who are constantly in the game. Taylor is an absolute beast when it comes to injecting himself when his team has won a turnover but Ben Smith is always around the play constantly and for all the work he does he has a very low error rate. Taylor just needs to be patient, another injury and he'' be in or if he's in the same form next year the selectors will have to give him a shot to see if he can be as good in test footy. [/QUOTE]
