Warrington likely offered more money and a place in the starting line up so fair play to Liam Byrne if he's made that choice. It didn't disappoint me to read the news. He's usually solid enough and maybe he's a touch underrated at times but he hasn't progressed as hoped. Maybe a change in environment will get more out of him. Be interesting to see if Harvie Hill ends up better than him. 50/50 on that one. Imagine Wigan's decision on whether or not to recruit a replacement will depend on Sam Eseh's progress.

[quote="Zig":kr067fmj]Been told that Wire are chasing Sneyd.[/quote:kr067fmj] I think that would make sense. They obviously signed the lad from London but I don't think he'll be a starter and may be moved between halfback and hooker and then Hayes is coming back from a serious injury. It's very early days for Hayes anyway. He started the season for them last year and I thought he did a solid enough job. The rave reviews on Sky seemed a bit OTT and maybe based on his stature, more than what he was actually producing and I would be worried if Wigan were going with such a young kid as first choice, especially on the back of that injury. Him being dipped in and out and acting as back up to Williams and Sneyd would be no bad thing IMO.

Apparently Hayes got a hamstring so seems the club may have decided to not take more risks.
