I haven't disagreed with you, just commented that of all the players coming to SL, you've picked him out for a kick in.

Regarding signings, I'm happy with Hulls as a whole. I don't claim to know how much any of them are earning, and I'll wait until I see them put on a black and white shirt before getting too excited or labelling any of them 'duds'.

Scott Taylor and frank Pritchard would get in the 17 of any team in super league . 3 very good signings even without my black n white specs on

You forgot to include the season's stats for Manu

Only reason I've commented on Manu is because he's a recent signing and fairly high profile - and people (Hull fans mainly) are way way over estimating his value.

It's fair to assume he'll be on a fair wedge (some FC fans think he'll be on the marquee salary), certainly more than I'd think he'd be worth....

Taylor wouldn't get in the first choice 17 of at least 4 or 5 sides. Decent player and good signing but he's not some sort of superstar just because he's now signed for hull fc

I've noticed the French development scheme is coming on nicely as well with the information currently posted.
The future looks...........

7 players in and 9 players out, including French players going to the NRL, Cas and Leigh. It's better than a number of other super league clubs.

2015 - Midseason Gains: Krisnan Inu (Stade Français).
2015 - Midseason Losses: Mathias Pala (Leigh Centurions), Gadwin Springer (Castleford Tigers), Damien Cardace (Released).
2016 Gains: Pat Richards (West Tigers), Richie Myler (Warrington Wolves), Dave Taylor (Gold Coast Titans), Paul Aiton (Leeds Rhinos), Justin Horo (Manly Sea Eagles), Jodie Broughton (Huddersfield Giants).
2016 Losses: Elliot Whitehead (Canberra Raiders), Benjamin Garcia (Penrith Panthers), Scott Dureau (Released), Michael Oldfield (South Sydney Rabbitohs), Ian Henderson (Sydney Roosters), Zeb Taia (Gold Coast Titans).

Just for the sake of balance, if Pritchard stays fit and is motivated he'll be one of the most damaging runners in SL. He is still a very good player, and would get into any SL side.

Which 4 ie 5 superleague sides wouldn't taylor get into?

Shall we keep it simple and just go for the top 8 other than Hull

(As I said he's a good player but the question is first 17. I don't particularly get Wigan's decision to offload him to Salford this year but fact is they did so its a fact that they chose not to have him in their squad never mind 17)

I dont mind people saying Manu is a dud, he hasn't had a great couple of seasons, they may be right. Taylor not getting in 4 or 5 teams however is hilarious. Hes in the top 10 props in the comp without trying.

He's not even in the top 10 for metre made, carries, or tackles for Props in SL this year so claims that he's in the top 10 props in the comp is a little wide of the mark.
