Gold Coast Titans big man Dave Taylor knows he must make changes if he is to regain lost form Suspended Titan Dave Taylor has accepted he needs to make lifestyle and attitude changes. Picture: Scott Fletcher Source: The Courier-Mail DAVE Taylor has accepted he needs to make lifestyle and attitude changes if he is to fire for Gold Coast and return to the Maroons team this year. It is understood Taylor, stood down for two weeks by the Titans on Monday, has copped his punishment on the chin and realises he tested the patience of coach John Cartwright too many times. Within weeks of arriving on the Gold Coast, Taylor was posting photos and boasting on Twitter of his full, and later empty, beer fridge. The Titans and Taylor are refusing to reveal the nature of last weekend's incident which became the final straw in a series of code of conduct breaches. Taylor was visibly frustrated at the team's tactics in the Titans' loss to the Broncos on Friday and within 15 minutes of fulltime, he was sitting among his ex-teammates in the Broncos' dressingroom. Taylor, 24, will in effect only miss one game for the Titans, as the NRL enters a bye round next week because of the trans-Tasman Test on April 19. Former Broncos captain Gorden Tallis, who mentored Taylor as forwards coach at South Sydney, said Wayne Bennett once described Taylor as missing a conscience. "I remember bumping into Wayne Bennett (who coached Taylor at the Broncos) and he asked me, 'How's Dave Taylor going?'," Tallis said on Triple M radio. I said: 'He's going all right' and he said, 'He (Taylor) is going to do your head in . . . he's the only guy I've ever coached that doesn't have a conscience'. He's just Dave Taylor, whatever happens around him, it's all about himself. I don't think he broke any laws, whether it's drinking, (being) late for training or just his attitude to training. But it's just not acceptable for a guy who debuted in 2006. Ex-NRL star Matthew Johns yesterday revealed how frustrated Taylor's former coach at Souths, Michael Maguire, was with his star's attitude last season. Speaking on radio yesterday, Johns said Taylor did not deserve the physical gifts he had. "I remember when he was on a great winning run, I'd heard they were going to release him so I asked Maguire if he was sure about it," Johns said. He said, 'Matty, I'm sick of begging this bloke to buy in' and was basically threatening to drop him to reserve grade.
