Dave Taylor to link up with former coach Wayne Bennett at the Newcastle Knights?

That’s what Rugby League Week’s “Friday Arvo Footy” segment has revealed, with the Knights targeting the Gold Coast Titans forward as a possible replacement for Russell Packer.

The Titans would have to release Taylor from his contract if he was to make the switch this season.

If it’s true, it would be the second high profile signing let go by the Titans after Jamal Idris was granted a release to return to Sydney and sign with the Penrith Panthers.
