How sure are we of this?

Well, obviously about as sure as we are of anything in the stories, including the idea that he wants to come to Hull. The fact that he was a regular in their team until recently doesn't really gel with the idea that they wanted rid of him.

Seems a bizarre situation that Wigan wont let Taylor come to Hull yet will let him go to Hudds or Leeds who they will see as nearer competitors next year. Doesn't add up, they might as well just let him go to you now as wait a year and strengthen a title rival in the mean time.

Outside influences apparently...

I have no idea how many (if any) of the stories around Taylor are true. And frankly I don't care. If we get him, great. If not, whatever. The whole thing has taken on the appearance of a circus and TBH I'm bored with it.

While we all no doubt envy their on the pitch success and things such as their academy, everything else about the way that club is run is extremely dislikeable and done with such arrogance, a trait which filters down to their players and fans.

So basically because Hull can't afford to buy a contracted player we should just give him away. And because we don't want to, that makes us arrogant.

That's quite a statement you made there, any other evidence to support your claim? You were quite happy to take Chris Tuson off us, which didn't work out unfortunately. Was there something in that that caused your anger? Or maybe Wembley last year? Does it go back further?

Personally I always enjoy my visits to Hull, and I wish your club every success because you really should be top 4. (Hope that wasn't too arrogant)

Where has it said we can't afford him???....rather Arrogant of you to presume this.Whats Tuson got to do with it.....he was out of contract and had agreed to go to Wakey until money problems surfaced there.If Taylor is indeed out of favour then why activate the 3rd yr clause and from what I heard,we offerd Wigan a fee,you wanted something daft so we will wait til 2016 and you get nowt..as for Wembley,grow up,that's over and done with.

I came in peace. I was asking why the negative comments.

The 3rd year was activated because Wigan paid a fee so they should be entitled to some back for a player they have improved. One thing that puzzles me (genuine question) why didn't Hull FC sign him up from Hull KR when we did?

KR (Hudgell) wouldn't sell to us.

Wigan offered more money and Scott wanted to win some silverware before retiring.

Taylor has done himself no favours in how he has acted. It is staggering that a player of his age would want to be away from one of the best teams in the world because he is 'homesick". Most kids in his position would grasp the opportunity with both hands and go on to be a legend.
I can't blame Wigan for holding out for a transfer fee, they have not had a decent return on the money they paid to Rovers for his transfer fee.

Taylor needs to be careful what he wishes for.
