I'll tell you something, I wouldn't swap Taylor or Cox for Ellis

We can potentially get four times as many years out of Taylor and Cox then Hull will see from Ellis and the way they are both performing they certainly seem to have the ability to be as big.

Scott absolutely loves it at Rovers,and has no intention of leaving.HTH

If they impress us well enough we will have them, til then we'll make do with Ellis.

I'm probably gunna get laughed at here but he really reminds me of Jamie Peacock.
What I mean is that Peacock is just a dog of war he will make you 7M+ most times he takes the ball up and he is willing to put his head and body in the tackle when it is best not to and he is just tough.
Scott Taylor is going to be exactly the same IMHO.

That isn't you best work.

I'm more concerned about Leeds, Wigan, Saints or Warry coming in for Scott Taylor - not FC!

Scotts taken a few games to get into his stride but he is in the zone now.

Don't be surprised to see James Green getting a first team call up - he is firing on all cylinders at the moment.

I thought he was on dual reg up in Cumbria?

Phil Clarke made this comparison 2 years ago during a sky game.

He is. He didn't play for them this weekend due to it being a CCup match (cup-tied and all that) so he turned out for the U20s and ripped into the Giants. He had a stormer.

Seem to remember that Paul Cooke eventually left Hull to play for his beloved Rovers!



Taxi for Taylor?

Well luckily for us Scott loves it here at Rovers and has no intention of leaving

We need to get him tied down long term so it doesn't become an issue.

Better make sure he actually signs the contract then. You wouldn't want him playing at the KC on Good Friday and having his head turned. Not sure he's seen a North and South Stand at the same ground before?

No you're right, there's only FC in the whole of Rugby League that have such a rare feature at their grounds and he has never played against them away before...

Oh, wait - he has.

He wont have time to admire the stands, he'll be too busy tearing your pack a new one!

Good lad is Scott and always thought he would be a top player, be amazed if Rovers don't tie him on a long term deal, all this he supports Hull/Rovers doesn't matter as much these days, players will go were they feel more comfy, play with their friends from junior clubs, who offers the best package and were there feel they have the best chance of a break through. Taylor made a good move as if he was at Hull, I doubt he would have played as many first team games as he has now due to the previous coach.

Good to see both clubs giving young players a chance, young Bowden is coming on nicely at Hull and would expect at least two other players to get their debut this year (Crooks and Green).

Plenty of talent in the city for both teams if they are looked after.

The standard of trolling has hit a new low on this thread.

To be fair, there are lots of young trolls in the fair city of Hull. Easily enough for both clubs. In future years I'd expect us to field a full board of home grown trolls.

tee-hee...





...hee-hee.

Producing players is only half the battle, you've got to be able to keep 'em. Or, without wishing to be disrespectful (especially ahead of our next fixture), you end up like Cas - admired, patronised and struggling.

Taylor was awesome yesterday, really give it to a very good Hudds pack.

Scott Taylor used to be a season pass holder as a kid do I think that makes him a rovers supporter it's cox that's the hull fan and Taylor since he came through our academy has been great it has to be said we have to have the best acadamey in the city in recent years

Seriously, a local lad playing in the Super League at his age, is a great achievement.



Good Luck to him, I hope he has a good career and makes it to the internatioanl stage.

Get him signed for a 10 year deal, increase in wages after every year if he keeps up his form and plays so many games, that way you keep him hungry, he will be a future england international without a doubt, we will regret this if we dont sign him long term, give him clinton's wages now and I bet he will fire even more!

I don't think Clinton will agree to Taylor having all his money.
