When Stuart signed people forget now, how dire the situation at Wigan was back then. At the time, he was probably one of the top three props in the world, playing for the best club in superleague (at the time).old hooker wrote:Considering the amount he cost Fielden was one of the worst signings we made.Taylor has been good for most of the time he hasbeen here.Let him go and good luck to the lad.
To prize him away was always going to cost but what amazes me is how this is still held against him.
He never at any time gave less than his best and his best at times was as good as it got.
As for Scott Taylor, you could argue that he's been much more mercenary than Fielden ever was. Sign as a relative unknown for a big club, get your value up and then walk away from your contract.
I know what I'd rather have playing for us.
