No doubt FC fans will put that down to him being in a poor side. His stats at Wigan the year before were, however, also completely unnoteworthy

Spot on.

That's like saying Greg Inglis wouldn't get in the
Leeds side....because he wouldn't fit under the salary cap

No it's not, it was a response to the criteria of does any side have *four* better props than Taylor. Also Taylor's definately not the best prop in the world.

Even after the edit it's still a crock of shoite. Taylor is 24 and still probably has a decade at the top level in front of him. wigan were champions when they paid a fee for him as a 21 year old and he was pretty much an ever present in their double winning side of 2013. You can come back with whatever you want to try and justify your claim but we both know it's meaningless. Every club in SL would take him and he'd play every week wherever he went

The edit only added the last sentence in brackets but hey don't worry about it, I certainly don't need literary critique from you.

I get it, you think he's the greatest. I've said repeatedly I think he's a decent signing for Hull I just don't agree at all that he's one of the top props in SL.

Maybe my opinion is clouded by how much he went AWOL last time he played leeds...3 carries and 24m. Even in a shocking team performance that's embarrassing.

Anyway, whatever - I'm bored now.

Roy Asotasi leaving Warrington at the end of the season and heading back to Oz (retirement)

Not surprised you're bored talking such rubbish. Show me where I've said he's the greatest or where I said he's one of the top props in SL. I was responding to your assertion that he wouldn't make the the starting 17 of 4 or 5 teams in SL which is clearly wrong.

on Taylor, he's a good prop sure enough but for me hasn't really kicked on from when he was at rervers, did he have some personal problems whilst at Wigan?

good player but i wouldn't say he was "easily" one of the top 10 props in SL, in the qualifiers maybe, but not SL.

I thought he'd retired a couple of years ago.

Ryan Bailey and Scott Wheeldon released by Castleford Tigers.

Greg Minekin - York City Knights centre to Cas Tigers for 2016.

his personal problems at wigan were called wane and lenaghan, they both spat the dummy out and refused to play taylor once he had told them he wanted to go back home to hull, hence he was shipped out to salford for the season


i do remember reading on the giants forum that many of you would have had him at hudds in a heartbeat!

As good as Taylor was at Hull KR and Wigan, he seems to be carrying a lot of excess weight this year. If he lost a few pounds he may start to realise the potential he had at Rovers. He is not one of the top 10 props in SL this year and the stats prove that. However as I've already said, he has the potential to be one of the top 10.

probably still would, like i said he's a good player but he hasn't hit the heights many thought he would have done.

Seen him live a couple of times and personally believe he will turn out to be another good un picked up by Daryl Powell.

He may be put on the 'Abdul diet' next year in an effort to lose excess fat

Hopefully better than Scott Moore & Ryan Bailey.

Abdul can weigh as much as he likes, he's one of the most promising youngsters in the league at the moment. Rovers fans must be gutted they couldn't handle a slow, fat 19 year old.

We'll have to have trip to Wembley to get over it then.

All that way just to see Leeds put 50 on you......

Was he your MOTM in your cup final then

Wasn't Abdull one of ours at one point

Frank Pritchard didn't look to shabby today !!!

Glenn Stewart to Catalans
