7th Tackle: Ash Taylor set for million-dollar pay day

Ash Taylor is one of the most exciting young halfbacks in the NRL and he’s set for a massive pay day.

Genuine ball players are in short supply and the 22-year-old is hot property.

With his path at Brisbane blocked by Ben Hunt and Anthony Milford, Wayne Bennett graciously let Taylor go to the Titans in 2016.

• Jimmy the Jet staying in Brisbane

• Bell tolls at South Sydney

• Questionable music taste boosting Roosters?

Bennett may rue that decision – he's now twice attempted to lure the playmaker back to the Broncos without success.

Taylor is set to spurn the mastercoach and stay with the Titans on a deal worth more than $1 million a season.
