Apologies if this has been covered...has Scott Taylor actually been confirmed for next year? HDM mentioned it the other day but couldn't find any more info on it

Not officially. Looks disappointingly out of shape though. Whatever the conditioning regime at Salford or lack thereof, can't see a pro like Ellis letting himself go like that.

I find it odd that any player would plan more than 12 months in the future a move to another club. Although extremely unlikely, let's assume Salford go on an unbeaten run until the end of the season, attract 10k per game and win the double. Wouldn't there be just a little bit of doubt about leaving the double holders?


if Taylor Or was so desperate to come back to the Hull areas I cannot see the logic on signing for Salford.

Because Wigan wouldnt let him come to us this year without paying a fee for him.

That's obviously correct, but I'm sure Wigan would have let him sign for a club closer to Hull? Unless they were just being complete w*****s about it! Not beyond the realms of possibility, that one.

I have to say it was quite pleasing to see that my belly isn't as big as that of a professional athlete. Did wonders for my self confidence.

On the other hand, my view of most of the game was blocked out, as were the floodlights, by an enormous fatty.

Did Salford pay a fee?

It was reported in the press that they did.

Wigan probably wanted him to live close by, but Salford might well said he could live on the moon if he wanted, as long as he turned up for training once or twice a month.

Do Salford really train as often as that???

Exactly, Wigan basically being s and making him play as far away from Hull as possible.

Thats it, of course, seen as we are massive rivals to Wigan, we've shown them up in every domestic final over the last 20 years, stole many a player off them and refused to sell them any. I can see why they dont want a pudding playing for us.

Its like the Wigan Saints thing.

It's more being awkward towards Scott, not us. HTH.
