That is remiss of the Radio Humberside. C'mon lads 'rumours from wigan that Scott Taylor is homesick...'

For once I agree with your good self and Smailes. He does clearly want to play for Hull. being closer to friends and family may suit him as well, but the homesickness thing does sound like Wigan fans trying to rationalise something that is almost incomprehensible to them. Nobody likes been jilted, but when it is for somebody you perceive as much less attractive you to explain it away.

It was always going to be tough to move directly across the river and he's picked up a couple of medals with which he can console himself. This time he and his agent have perhaps been a bit clumsy.

Still think there's a chance he could sign for us this year

Said the same myself.

Wigan let him sign for Wakefield (no fee involved) the deal didn't happen (Wakefield didn't pennies at that time, wages wise) so that left him without a club so tuson signed for Hull

I'm a bit bored of Taylor. Hopefully he'll go to Hudds on loan, play in Round 1 and gift us the game.

Taylor must have really burned his bridges at Wigan if there sending him to Huddersfield despite the ban for Flower.

What must they think of Gill Dudson to allow him to go aswell if rumours are to be true ? Leaves them low on forwards

Dudson is gash though. (unless we get him of course )

This is the first time I've contributed on here but this is what is happening with Scott Taylor. Apparantly, he informed the Wigan owner that he was homesick and wanted to leave, the Wigan owner was somewhat annoyed with him and bluntly told him that he'd never play for a club of Wigan's stature anywhere else, and infact he would never pull a wigan shirt in anger ever again, that's why he was 18th man in the grand final team. Anyway, Taylor has signed a 4 year contract with Hull from 2016 and the loan move to Huddersfield isn't necessarily on yet, there are quite a few obstructions and hurdles to clear before that can take place.

Rumours on our board is that its his missus who is homesick and he's moving back for her. indeed, he did voice ambitions to play in the NRL last year (I think)

Wane won select players who dont want to be at Wigan and rightly so imo

Don't disagree with that stance but I don't agree with bolloxing up a young player's career just because he isn't happy living where he is. Shows wane up for the petty, narrow minded w@nker he is IMO

I doubt all the blame can be placed on Wane!

No, but I'm sure it's him who has made the decision not to play the kid

The solution is simple.
Negotiate and pay the fee and Taylor can go.

If not he isn't going to Hull. The ball is in Hull's court.

Correct, the ball is in our court. Wigan can either offer him at a reasonable price and recover some of the transfer fee they paid for him, or we can just wait a season and have him for free. To be honest, from a business point of view waiting a season seems sensible for us. There's not too many players that go backwards playing for Huddersfield. If Wigan don't try and sell him to us at an attractive price - they're shooting themselves in the foot. I'm more than happy with either scenario - we can't lose!
