he didnt play aswelll as he didnt play. when he said he wanted to leave he was left out. Seems to me Wane sulked more than Taylor

As far as I'm aware, Taylor has issued no statement to refute the one made by the club, namely that Taylor's desire to leave was causing problems. If it remains unchallenged, the club's explanation is the one the history books will go with.

This has been bubbling for months though and when the speculation started he was still in the team. His form fell off a cliff around that time which now makes a lot of sense. The speculation then died down and he came back in to some decent form but then when it started again he was left out.

I wouldn't say Wane is sulking leaving a lad out that's asked to leave. If the guy wanted away then it's only natural to have some reservations about their commitment levels.

his form didnt drop any worse than the whole team as the team hit a massive blip. So was he the scapegoat? Sarginson was awful mid season but came good at the end of the season (thats just 1) he wasnt dropped, looks like he has been made a scapegoat and blamed by the club.

All opinions I suppose but I thought he was very poor for a few weeks. The thing with Taylor is he's a very consistent player so it was quite obvious when his form went.

It's a shame how things have turned out but it's his loss IMO.

agreed. just think he was overlooked once he wanted to leave, we were paying him so should play him if hes the better option. Cant be worse than Pettybourne

Last season I thought we were a bit "quantity over quality" with regards to props, and a bit light in the 2nd row. Compared to the beginning of the 2014 season, we're going into 2015 with Tautai, Patrick, Mossop and Tomkins, and losing Burke, Hughes, James, Taylor and probably Dudson. That's a marked improvement IMO.

Don't tell that to the Saints fan on their board who said our recruitment was the 2nd poorest in superleague after Leeds! And how us signing Mossop and Tomkins is good for them!!
