Agree Taylor NOT at his best but do agree still effective. Many of the yards made after contact do attract defenders BUT usually mean a slow PTB. Think he needs to vary his play a bit more, was too dynamic early season. Just plod it up most times but then really steam onto it a couple of times each spell, scatter some defenders like we know he can. Is it me or has he reduced his passes short of the contact as well ? Do agree he & Watts very different, between them they have the full skill set & combine really effectively when both at best. Nice if they both peak next Saturday !! Sure that will be their intention.

At some point I'd like to see how Watts goes as Loose Forward, perhaps an option when Ellis retires?

Green is getting up so speed after injury, we can excuse him for a game or two.
There's not much wrong with Taylor from what i can see - what may be the case is that he is playing with a bit of an injury - very common with players at this stage of the season - so might be holding a little back, but nothing to worry about.
On the subject of props, Watts has tweeted he picked up a sternum problem after friday night

Have a word with with yourself will you. Neither were poor. Bowden got clouted in the face in the first half and knocked on. Green makes ya ds after contact (like Taylor does ) . How were they poor?

I think it may be you that needs to "have a word", or can FC players do no wrong?
