Quote: Itchy Arsenal "Just watched it on Wigan tv
I think we may see a different Liam Byrne next season.
I hope so. Somewhere within that lad is a really good prop. Waney will sort him or kill him.
A really enjoyable hour.'"
This isn't necessarily aimed at you, but I'm really confused by the apathy that gets directed towards Byrne by some of our fans?
Being a good prop is not somewhere in the lad. He's a good prop now.
He's 22 and has played more games, at his age, than other more established props had at the same point in their careers. I look at Walmsley, the best prop in a league, and when you compare the two at the age Byrne is - Byrne is well ahead of him in regards to SL games played and what they've achieved.
I'd pick Byrne over any of the youngsters in our squad. He'll improve massively, just like guys like Dudson, Mossop and Mulhern did but he's still a good option (for his age) now.
