NH wouldn't sell him to us.

Would you really want a unhappy player for a year taking up a big chunk of the salary cap.

Your Chairman is a business man and will sell him if he can get a fee for him rather than lose him for free, like he has done with previous players.

A massive signing for Hull, a loss for Wigan, but I would imagine that he will be replaced internally quite easily.

Don't think its as much NH not selling to Hull, more likely Taylor wanted to go to the best team in the comp and win things. If its not worked out personally for him (as rumoured) then I 'm sure he didn't anticipate that and thought he'd settle fine.
Personally I think its a huge mistake for him to leave Wigan for anyone other than an attempt at NRL or even RU (difficult for a prop) but if his circumstances dictate then so be it.
What I would say is, is Taylor really what Hull need? Good prop no doubt but is he worth a transfer fee and what I would assume will be a big wage in an area you look quite well stocked in and also have good youth coming through?

This bangs of Hulls recent history of recruitment. A big name, and in this case a local name to buy favour with the fans. Paying a fee for a prop really doesn't make sense to me given you already have a decent set of forwards. Outside backs and half backs should be where the money is spent!

Our pack isn't good as it looks on paper, we have been dominated in a few games this year including twice against rovers, I think we need a prop.

I think people forget that this sining isn't just for next season, Taylor could plat for Hull for the next 10 years, if we pay say 100K for him and get 10 good years out of him, then the fee isn't a worry.

All about long term investment and value for money.

oh yes we can, he has a contract. if he refuses to play then fine but we can still hold his SL registration

i very much doubt it will come to that but it is a possibility

I think the possibility of that happening is zero. What possible good would it do anyone concerned?

I agree entirely

its just, as a Wigan fan, I as well as others are sick of seeing our players not being held to contracts

I will say again Scott will not move to hull.he left a Micky mouse team and won the double.why oh why would he want to go to an even more Micky mouse team who can't play themselves out of a wet brown paper bag.

Someone's going to be majorly disappointed soon.

Total rubbish you talk like your team play.

You're not THAT bothered are you?

There's always one and you appear to be it

Have you not seen us play lately?

We used to be rubbish but, we are much much worse then that now!

Surely that is down to Lenegan though?

Taylor not in the 19 man sqaud for Saturdays game certainly makes it look like he is going as there is no way you could drop him on form.

We're actually worse than rubbish. Do keep up.

Thanks for Scott Taylor though. That 12 months he's spent with you has been invaluable in his development as a quality forward.

Scott Taylor signed for next year more a less nailed on, not going to be cheap though (Transfer or Salary).

Carvell, Watts and Thompson all expected to depart.

Surprised at Thompson going he's impressed me and I reckon he can/will improve. Not surprised by the other two, Carvell has turned out to be a bit of a let down and Watts just needs to move on.

Thompson to leave? Poor decision if true

The Thompson one will annoy me if true, although I don't think his will be performance related and is more of a salary cap issue.

Surprised Wigan gave permission for you to speak to Taylor...assuming you haven't approached a contracted player?

Carvell was enticed out of a 2 year deal at Bradford, would he do that without the option / promise of a 2nd season?

Clubs are supposed to give out of contract players notice of their intentions on 1st May in the year the contract ends.
So Wigan should have told Taylor 4 weeks ago that they were going to invoke the 3rd year.

I guess they may have said to Taylor that they might not take the final year and just see what happens.

With the contract in Wigan's favour, it's a subtle way of enticing a transfer fee.

Maybe the second year was based on him playing a certain amount of games this year

Well he was in Hull town centre today so there maybe something in the rumours hes signing for Hull either that or hes visiting family or resigning for us

Wonder where Thompson will end up
