Them three didn't count on cap anyways as we didn't register them for this season, imagine asking a question of our starting 17 two weeks into pre season and when 2/3 haven't trained yet.

Matt Peet saying Byrne is going nowhere.

I never once thought otherwise to be fair, one of their first choice props

I suspect we are going to try and sign Byrne on the 1st December for the 2026 season, if that happens, think there is a chance he comes early, Wigan have a vast array of props, and could easily release him and promote from within. I doubt Wigan would be able to match the kind of money we could offer him for a 3 year deal.

They have Hill, Harvard, Mago, Dupree and Thompson, who would all get into most SL sides, add in Eseh and a couple of other lads they will have coming through, I think there is a good chance we can get Byrne for 2026, if not 2025.

It really does annoy me that as a club we continually pay players off without a replacement agreed.

No matter peoples thoughts on Pele, he was better than Gardner and we would’ve probably won more games with pele in our side. Last year we let 3 quota players leave and only really brough Jed in to replace them (King for one game).

This year we’ve paid off 3 and by the looks of it with no replacement lined up. Walker has no club to go to, why not let him train with us and look for a new club.

If he finds a new club we let him go, if, god forbid, Rapana or Moy go down with a long term injury we can keep him for the season.

All we seem to do is close one door without having another ready to walk through.

Should we lose Moy & Rapana. The option would be to use Hardaker but currently Litten is out so we then have to use someone like lane or Roman Dawson (who isn’t ready yet IMO)
