Read it again.

We should certainly make him a decent offer of an improved contract but if another team comes in for him with a better one and he wants to go then that's up to him. We're not in a position to be held to ransom by a nineteen year old with potential.

if he gets fed up that he isn't getting as much game time as Lovegrove, Galea, Murrell, Cook et al then he clearly hasn't got the attitude to succeed in a professional sport.

If there good enough, there old enough!

Maybe Taylor aint all that, lets be honest, how many quality games have we had out of him so far this season? He has done ok and nothing more.

I think that he has been very good in the games that he has featured in and has warranted more game time.
If i were Scott i would probably be a bit upset to be honest given that the forwards selected infront of him have hardly ripped any trees up. Also, Liam Watts and Josh Hodgson were virtual everpresents last season at the same age that Scott is now.

He probably does deserve more game time, Lovegrove is no S/R and should be moved back up front straight away. I dont think he has played aswell as Galea and Cook who would be starting in the S/R for me at the moment, well untill Newton is back.

Liam Watts was excellent last year! god knows whats happened to him, I said ages ago he is now slightly reminding me of David Mills, he needs to up his game big time.

Less said about Hodgson at this time the better icon_wink.gif

The problem is all of Morgans making. Vella, Clinton, Lovegrove, Newton, Galea, Murrell and Netherton will always play when fit, irrespective of form. That leaves Taylor, Wheeldon, Watts and Cook to fight it out for two spots each week and the odd occasion maybe only one spot. At the moment Wheeldon and Cook are in the driving seat, but one bad game and they'll be out for the side for 6 weeks. Thats the Morgan way.

There is no doubt in my mind that Taylor is being dumped on in much the same way Hally is. But go back a few weeks and the same can be said of Cook and Wheeldon.

I think he has lost some weight during the off season which may have affected his effectiveness in the collision. On top of that he recently became a dad so i suspect he has a slightly different mindset to what he had last year.

That said i thought he had his best game of the season against Bradford......and then promptly got dropped!!!

Didn't know that.

Its his speed that worries me a little, seems a little slow to get going. Hopefully he will come good again because he has the skills.

One of the most natural ball playing props i've seen for many a year.

Frustrating isnt it. The annoying thing is that if the right side and tactics were used this weekend then i dont think we would have too many problems beating Hull.
As it is, Morgan is spending all week devising ways of dealing with Hulls left hand side attack and picking a team accordingly as opposed to picking a team to get at them and giving them the tactics to do it.

Worrying signs.

Our right side defence has been fairly terrible all season (was Newton doing a lot of the direction here?) so it's hardly likely to be cured in a week. Matt Cook has done excellently going forward but I don't think he's managed to shore up this area and at times his goal line defence is a concern.

no so sure he was dropped, he came off with a suspected broken wrist that required scans etc. not too sure how fit he was for the salford game but was back in the squad for wigan and will get a game before too long I would think.

He was fit enough to play in the reserves.

Morgan is easing him in IMO.
Scott's a level headed kid and knows he will learn a lot from the experianced guys around him.
Im not concerned about the fact a new deal hasnt been announced as there is plenty of time for a new deal to be signed.
He is one for the future and im sure the club will do the right thing.
