We need our half backs to stay clear of injury though, that is what we'll all be thinking and I'll be holding my breath every time they are tackled, praying that they get straight back up again.

or just sign Ryan Hampshire

Why?

A player Wakey have tried offloading for the last 2 seasons, why haven't they retained him?

A waste of salary cap imo when we have youngsters able to fit in and gain experience.

He's adamant he wants to play full back because its his best position and we seem to be well covered there.

Hopefully we will see a much fitter Taylor next season and see him somewhere back to the player he can be, time will tell. Still think some of it has also been down to attitude in that it was all too cozy at the club.

He doesn't rule out being a utility: https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/ryan-hampshire-future-club-wakefield-22207966 He does refer to himself in the third person though. I thinks that's as good a reason as any not to sign him.

In the twitter video (within the HDM article) Scott Taylor looks a lot leaner and more in-shape than he did at the back end of last season. Looking forward to seeing a refreshed and reinvigorated Scott more like the version of a few seasons ago.
