Blake Austin, Josh Hodgson, Jordan Rapana and Josh Papalii. Shannon Boyd, Joey Leilua, Aidan Sezer and Jack Wighton are also set to play in Queanbeyan.

Taylor remains on a pre-season contract with the Raiders and has supplemented his income pouring beers at a local pub.

It’s a far cry from the lofty heights of representing Queensland and Australia, but the juggernaut is said to be in prime condition after shedding 9kg during the pre-season.

Taylor previously played for Brisbane, South Sydney and Gold Coast before joining Catalans at the end of 2015.
