Newscorp reports board members wish to go in a new direction following the club’s 46-6 loss to Canberra.

James Tedesco, skipper Aaron Woods, Mitchell Moses and halfback Luke Brooks are all off contract this year but are hesitant to sign extensions while Taylor is at the helm.

It is not known if Taylor will leave immediately or stay on for the remainder of the season.

Cowboys assistant coach Todd Payten and former Warriors and Panthers coach Ivan Cleary are the main contenders to replace Taylor.
