Maybe that's why the club might let Byrne good, lots of depth at prop, not as much in the backrow.

Byrne might want more gametime too, going from a back up to be a regular at Hull, would probably get a 3 year deal on decent money too.

Probably won't happen, but there are possible reasons why Wigan and Byrne are thinking about it.

I've said for a while I think we need another second rower and could live with another prop going to help facilitate that. I'd probably rather that not be Byrne but he does need more minutes to help him progress and that is going to be difficult to come by here.

Chan the project doesn’t seem to be working so extremely hard at this point to see him as a long term prospect.
Eseh loaned out twice and couldn’t get a game at Hull. I had high hopes of him but maybe he’s been found out? Hopefully he can and will kick on in 2025 but he will need another prop to exit to open the door for him.
I heard from a source that is usually pretty reliable that Byrne was going to Huddersfield.
Don’t get me wrong as we are still in a very enviable position but that can change quickly due to injury or monetary pressures from clubs actively seeking rare resources i.e. quality prop forwards.

I had heard Cooper was going back to Wire, Isa was retiring and Byrne was potentially going Salford, not sure if any of that has been confirmed but if Byrne goes on top of Cooper and Isa I would like to hope we have cap space and I think signing a second rower would be the best way to go with Hill to step up and play more, Eseh to step in to Hills role and Walters to offer front row cover.

Byrne's drop-off has been quite drastic. He bossed the start of the WCC but since getting sent off on Good Friday he's been way off. Not sure if it's mental or physical (know he was carrying injuries last year) but it's a shame.
