Axed Wests Tigers coach Jason Taylor breaks silenceGETTY IMAGES Jason Taylor has been cut as coach of the Wests Tigers. Sacked Wests Tigers coach Jason Taylor has broken his silence to defend against an attack by Balmain legend Paul Sironen, who publicly celebrated the axing. He looked me in the eye and said, 'It's OK, I know it wasn't your decision'," Taylor said. "When the great Brian Smith strategic plan was implemented and Taylor came in, I was involved in the club," Sironen said. Meanwhile, Wests Tigers' major sponsor has backed the decision to sack coach Taylor, but warned the joint-venture outfit is now at a "critical juncture" in its history.
