Amazed Pies don't want him........definitely the best loan signing we ever had from them, TOP player. Is he definitely returning to Hull KR in 2016, or is it that he wants to move back to Hull, and play for a club 'nearer home' ?

Why are Wigan fans getting excited over the undisclosed fee we've paid for Taylor? Do they think it's anything more than a few grand really.

Great signing though, even if it is for just one-year before he joins Hull. Big talent.

The interesting thing could arise if Salford stay in the Super League and Hull FC miss out in 2016.

Long shot but Taylor no doubt signed a SL contract and maybe becomes a Free Agent - like Westerman & Sneyd.

Not seen much of Scott Taylor but people from Hull Wigan and Huddersfield fans think he's a great player. Just noticed that Mandy Koukash on twitter saying Marwan after one more player

Why would we need to pay a fee to Wigan? He signed for 2 seasons with an option for a 3rd so surely it is up to him if he stays for that 3rd season?

I can't see anyone in SL having a better pack than us next season, just hope that HH, Hock and Hauraki stay on the field together as I can only see them destroying other teams out wide.

As I understand it Wigan activated the 3rd year, presumably to stop him doing one to Hull for nothing.

I actually admire the way Lenagan does business in regards to player contracts , the use of the optional last year can presumably activated by either party. and you'd think players agents would have got wise to it by now.

They activated it in relation to Gareth Hock , Harrison Hansen, Darrell Goulding and now Scott Taylor.
Clubs invest years in getting players to a position when they become admired by other teams so they are protecting their investment , the optional year also is insurance to players if the they want to stay on and the clubs have other ideas so it works both ways

They also held out for transfer fees for under contract players Sam Tomkins & Lee Mossop when they fancied a sun tan and a go in the NRL.
They also insist in a 1st refusal clause when they return to SL

They paid up mid season for Matty Smith, when it could have been easier to watch our demise & pick him up close season.

If you compare Wigans way of doing business with the way Leeds acquired ' homesick ' Joel Moon

Top signing! Chuffed with this! This guys England quality and when was the last time we had a front row knocking on the England door? Not sure why some people are bothered about the length of contract? I'm only bothered about next season! Welcome Scott and show the pies that ur not a robot and express itself! Getting a pretty good squad together now, looks like hood and theo will take hooking duties as thought this would be an area where we would spend much of salary cap! Started getting excited nowicon_smile.gif

Good signing, sorry to see him go... Just hope that whatever affected his form is behind him...

I don't think we got Westerman for free, we paid a fee.

Correct

correct mate, we paid £125,000 for westerman. wigan wanted big money for taylor aswell which we wouldn't pay for a year deal buy out
