Quote: Mark_P1973 "i'm pretty sure the club announced earlier this year that Cooper and Isa werent being offered new deals for next season , and were free to speak to other clubs
front row we should be fine next season, as they are all still contracted for at least 1 season, so with Thompson, Havard, Dupree, Mago, Byrne, Hill, Chan, Eseh and Ellis (i know he's playing 13 at the minute)
2nd row we look a little light if we get injuries. Faz possibly in his last season in 2025, Junior and Walters, so we may look at someone to backup in the 2nd row if we have any cap available'"
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.
