Not from Wigan's point of view.

So there should be no difference in how the club treats them. Taylor has been our best prop and so to pack him off to Cumbria if its being done because he asked to leave is petty and unprofessional.

Here's a curved ball. Perhaps Taylor looked fed up after the Hudds game because he's been told he was being sold and he doesn't want to leave

Pearson comes in with an offer, IL sees the ££££ signs and another chance to cash in.

?

The problem with Sam Tomkins last year was that he seemed to lose interest part way through the season and coupled with protracted mystery illness we did not see the best of him. He wasn't being criticised for leaving, he was being criticised because of a lack of form. As the French say he wasn't wetting his shirt.

There's absolutely no evidence to suggest that is the case, other than you trying to manipulate another situation to have a go at IL. It's been rumoured that him/his missus have been homesick/wanted to move back to Hull for a while now. Everything suggests that it is the player initiating this move, Wigan have simply triggered the one year option on his current deal to ensure they get a fee for him, that it seems Hull are willing to pay.

How dare you say that aren't you aware criticising Sam is a hanging offence



FWIW I agree with all of your post

The noises coming out of Hull seem to be claiming he wants to be close to his family - maybe Wane thinks he's being soft IF they are the reasons. In this situation I would agree with Wane and suggest that he "man up".

I doubt we'd be looking at cashing in on Taylor yet. A few more years at the rate of development he's been on and he'd be worth considerably more.

I heard it was his wife who was unhappy. I have also heard it's all a load of tosh and he's going nowhere. I guess either way, we as Wigan fans will be the last to know.



Probably right in which case why not compete for the player and sell the future to him and his wife rather than as seems to be the case, reacting to events when minds are made up rather than being proactive?

If there is anything in this I just thinks it's poor from all concerned. The player for not having the common sense to see he is better off here and for not going to the club with any issues and the club for behaving in a petty enough way to weaken the side before a very big game to make a point.

Of course if he is injured its all a load of speculation anyway!

Rumour has it Clark pulled up in training yesterday and did not train today. Will be having a late fitness test for us. Different team when Clark is in the field so if he doesn't play makes the game easier for you.

I think you're getting this thread confused with a Cas v Wigan thread. Clearly, like most threads on here, it's all about Scott Taylor.

and the team is

bowen
manfredi, sarginson, gelling, burgess
williams, smith
flower, mcilorum, dudson
farrell, bateman
lockers
hughes, crosby, hampshire, sutton

and its playing terrible, please take williams off and put hampshire on. Not that its all williams fault but he is killing any attacking threat we have and O'loughlin needs to just get back to running hard and tackling hard.

Taylors development while come to a dead halt once Radford get his hands on him.

add to what i said McIlorum needs to just tackle normal as he is slipping and missing to many going for big shots.
