Dave Taylor’s redemption from fallen NRL star to an important member of the Raiders pack has amazed Canberra coach Ricky Stuart.

Taylor is set to restart his career at the top level on Sunday afternoon in the Raiders’ match against Wests Tigers with Stuart measured in his expectations of the former Origin star.

“In all my years of coaching I haven’t seen too many players train as hard as David has over the last three or four months,” Stuart said.
