He's been outstanding and probably our best prop for a good while which considering his age is impressive.

Very hot/cold this season though as his Mrs has been nagging him to go back to Hull. Hasn't played since he signed for Hull FC (apparently).

Every time I've watched Wigan I've rated Flower much more highly than Taylor. I'd say he was your best prop.

I would agree with that he's certainly been the most consistent prop. Good wrap for Dom Crosby he's progressed well this season.

is that now official?

There has been no official announcement, I assume that'll be left until the off-season.

Great shame to see him leave, he was our best prop last season and our pack is weaker without him in it, but there's more than adequate replacements for him. However, i'd much prefer to see Taylor on our bench come Saturday than Pettybourne

it depends on who you listen to as whether it is official or not............

As the club tend to try to bury bad news by including it in a press release with some good news, maybe we are in for a nice surprise next week? We've known Taylor is going...might someone be coming?

Maybe Waney is been trying to send Taylor a message by not selecting him - this is what it is like to miss out playing in big games/finals. Go to Hull and this is how it'll be, you'll miss out on great nights. If Taylor has any sense he'll commit his future to Wigan.

If Taylor has any sense he'll stay at Wigan and let his good lady go back to Hull.

My guess would be an experienced half-back from another SL club.

Who would you have?

I wouldn't be unhappy with Scot Dureau, Kevin Brown or Tim Smith (if he could learn to defend). Can't think of many others and those three are not really Paul Deacon quality.

That would be a good question for Shaun Wane, I just think that if there is an opportunity to bring in somebody like a Paul Deacon who is looking for one last swan song and who could help guide the young players around we should take it.
