Taaffe is off contract at the end of the year and has shown that he is capable of being a regular first-grader through his performances for South Sydney.

He was one of the Rabbitohs’ best in a losing side against the Bulldogs last week. Taaffe’s performance didn’t go unnoticed by the Bulldogs general manager, who is looking for talent to bolster coach Cameron Ciraldo’s squad for next year.
