Gold Coast rookie Ashley Taylor cant wait to show his old club what hes made of when the Titans face Brisbane in Fridays NRL elimination final.The 21-year-old, who is reportedly poised to sign a new deal with the Titans following his breakout 2016 season, will face his old club in his first finals appearance.Rather than be daunted by the prospect of facing the Broncos in front of a capacity Suncorp Stadium crowd, Taylor says the chance to test himself against the very best in the game is what being a first grade footballer is all about.Thats the ultimate goal and achieving it early on in my career is just a massive achievement for myself, he said.Im just looking forward to getting out there with the team and putting in a great performance.Taylors first full season in the NRL has been eye-catching with no less than superstar Johnathan Thurston ear-marking him as a future State of Origin player last week.Granted an early release from his contract with the Broncos to join the Titans, Taylor was handed an opportunity by Kane Elgeys season-ending knee injury in pre-season.In 21 matches Taylor has consistently impressed with his cool head, clever kicking game and even scored a match-winning field goal against South Sydney in Perth midway through the year.Rumours of a return to Brisbane are expected to be quashed by a reported new deal with the Titans until the end of the 2019 season.Taylor does have praise for the Broncos and coach Wayne Bennett for giving him the opportunity to move to the Titans.Hes a great bloke for obviously letting me go, Taylor said of the seven-time premiership winner.Hes given me the opportunity and he started my career down here for me.Im just looking forward to getting out there in Titans colours and sticking it to them at their home ground.

Where most AFL pundits see a premiership contender, Adelaide coach Don Pyke sees faults.The Crows have risen to third spot and are on an eye-catching seven-game winning streak but Pyke sees some trends in his side which need addressing.Im not going to go into detail about what they are. But theres some things there that dont really worry us, but things we want to keep improving, Pyke told reporters on Wednesday.Were in a high intensity, really full-on competition, and we cant be self-satisfied at all. We have got to keep looking for ways to get better.We are not sitting here being satisfied with what we have achieved.
