Both Taylor and Goulding may be looking at a pair of Semis in Hull, or someone at Wigan has a little black book.

Brave decision to leave Powell out in favour of Hampshire/Williams but the correct one for me. He didn't offer enough last week and lacks that game breaking ability those two youngsters bring.

Taylor being left out opens a massive can of worms.

According to Hull FC fans Taylor has already bought a house in Beverley near Hull.

Maybe he's dropped along with Goulding and Powell. After a poor show and defeat someone always pays the price with Waney. Those replacing them have a hell of a job on their hands.

Wigan by 12!

I know, wasnt my best effort

Goulding was pretty poor last week so no surprises there. I'm very pleased that Rocky is getting a chance, we look a lot more dangerous whenever he is on the pitch. As for Taylor, looks like the writing is on the wall IMO, a massive shame as he has been brilliant for us and looked ready to make an England spot his own. Can't see him carrying on his progression whilst at Hull FC, players tend to go backwards there rather than forwards.

Scratch that!!! He was brilliant last year I thoroughly agree but which Taylor have you been watching this year??

Rumour is he'll be playing for our Cumbrian friends for a while.

Never seen Taylor look as downbeat on or of the field as he looked when he came over to the fans after the Huddersfield game last week. I know we'd list but something didn't look right.

A real shame as he could be a top player for us. He's already a very good one.

The one that has made the second most tackles out of the whole team so far this year, most carries, metres and average gain out of the props and hardly ever gives away errors or penalties. Not sure what more you could want from a prop.....?

Where's Wigan Peer? This is as good as rotting in the reserves!

Good - if the rumours are true then he can get used to regretting his decision now rather than playing in the big games.

I have zero sympathy for any 23 year old wanting to move closer to family - especially when they are 2 hours along the motorway. Plenty of time in life for that when his rugby career is over.

Does it really matter what his reasons are though? To me I couldnt care less about hy he wants to go. This is professional sport and we have signed plenty of players in the past which I am sure fans of other clubs would be peeved about. We either keep him to his contract or let him go for a fee. If he wants to leave then so be it, I see little point in keeping a player that doesnt want to be here.

If you feel that is the right thing to do.

Then should Wane have sent Sam Tomkins to the duel reg club last season.

It does seem that the club have a different attitude depending on whether the player is going to the NRL, RU or a rival Super League club and I can sort of see why from their point of view. I think they see a rival SL club as a competitor where as a NRL or RU club isnt. I personally dont see it that way as I think Wigan should be fighting tooth and nail with both RU and NRL clubs and that we should be trying to be every bit as big as these clubs, rather than bow meekly, but thats a different story.

Taylor, however good he is now, could not win a game for us on his own. Sam could, similar to how trent barrett did

There's a big difference between testing yourself in the best competition in the world (on the other side of the world), and missing Hull.

He's also got one of the highest missed tackle counts for a prop, he is the prop with the highest error count, but my point is not to discuss statistics as we all know that doesn't show a true reflection of how a player is doing. His statistics are high because he's played virtually every game and flower has been injured but I just don't think he's been half the player he was last year. Last season he was carrying opposition players pretty much on his back for an extra 5 yards at least but ive not seen this once this season from Taylor something is a miss. None the less im a big fan of Dom Crosby and this could be his season.

He's not looking quite as good as last year because he's doing a tougher job. He's starting as the only senior prop in the 17 instead of coming off the bench when Flower and Mossop have done the early graft. I know Flower is returning but I'm really not sure we can afford to drop Taylor long term over an issue like this unless IL/Wane think it could somehow change his mind (which I doubt)

It's funny how as soon as a player leaves Wigan people on this board find faults in his game, even saw it with Sam Tomkins last year! Face it, if Taylor leaves Wigan we are losing a world class prop and hull, one of our rivals are gaining him. It's bad news for Wigan, end of. Dropping him for the rest of the year is NOT going to benefit us at all, I'd rather have him in the team for the rest of the year helping us win trophys than rotting at the dual reg club.
