Official statement from club

Good player with plenty of potential, that said I'm not too fussed as we have recruited well.

Good luck to the lad.

Long rumoured and a baffling decision to say the least, but if we have received a transfer for his early release rather than going on a free after next season then it's probably the best outcome for all parties.

HA HA HA

Hope he is on a good wedge

Well done to Ian Lenegan and Kris Radlinski in making sure we get the best possible deal for Wigan. He was obviously angling for a release from his contract to bog off up the M62, Wigan have dug their heels in until they were able to receive a transfer fee. Well done indeed, good bit of a business.

Regarding Scott, he was on his way to being the best prop in the UK until the middle of this year. Time will tell if he meets his potential in the less professional environments of Salford and Hull.

Less professional environments? How do you work that one out?

well, not related to players/training etc... but we dont have our chairman mouthing off on twitter about everything under the sun

I think its called leading by example

Some people see it that way I personally don't, he engages with fans and listens to their opinions, I'm it's the way forward.

Dont get me wrong, i kind of like the guy (in the way you have to like someone who seems to act like such a baffoon, reminds me of Boris Johnson) but i think publicly criticising players/fans etc... is definately not the way forward

He can slag off the RFL all he likes though

Smart move by the club this, I'd rather have the transfer fee and the cap space than a player who doesn't want to be here. Terrible move on Scott's part professionally though, definitely expect him to fade back into obscurity playing for Salford and later Hull FC.

How bitter do you sound in your last sentence. Didn't realise you had to play for Wigan to gain international honours. Playing for his home town club and the team he supports could make him more hungry for success and international honours

No doubt there are plenty of clubs with homegrown players who are hungry for success. But just take a look at the make up of the international team and draw your own conclusions.

Mine would be - you've more chance of getting called up if you are playing for the best team. No other team gets close to having eight (I include McIlorum when fit) players in the squad.

Taylor will struggle getting into the England team playing for a club that may be in the second division when he joins them.

Career suicide. Hope he enjoys the fat wedge he's on.

Not technically true this. The current SL Champions and League Leaders have no players in the international setup, ergo your chances are not raised by playing for the best team in the league.

It also doesn't help having about seven players who don't qualify for England in the squad.
