Confident Ash’s bounce act
ASH Taylor says he learnt plenty about himself after hitting a rough patch this season and has vowed to bounce back from the worst games of his young career.
Taylor, 23, was honoured to have played in Johnathan Thurston’s final game on Saturday and will take a leaf out of his idol’s book and use the love of his family to help drive him next season.
The Titans half finished the season on the up, showing glimpses of the form that had him rated an Origin contender.
“It was a tough season, a lot of expectation and I didn’t really come up trumps,” he said. “But I’m going to learn from it and come back even stronger.”
While an off-season of hard work is on Taylor’s agenda, so is time with family.
“For me, I think I pushed my family aside a bit this year, whether I shouldn’t have, I learnt that this year,” Taylor said.
“Family is everything and I took it for granted. I want to keep giving back to my family.”
