Quote ="DaveO"I don't think he will be provided people don't think he is instantly going to be the next Andy Farrell.
If he is viewed as a player for the future which at 21 he should be then there should be no silly expectations and we can all be pleasantly surprised if he does as well as Dudson for example.
The players who should hit the ground running are the experienced players we sign who need to delivery quickly, like Lauaki (who IMO hasn't improved from being average at Hull).'"
I wasn't expecting Gelling to be world-class straight away, but that didn't stop the pitchfork and torch wielding lynch mob going after the lad.
It could be worse for Taylor than Gelling - he's being "bigged up" by quite a lot of people and if he doesn't deliver quickly then he'll be the latest in a long line of scapegoats (which ironically has included Andy Farrell!)
