Byrne, is a different league to Bullock, and thats not be saying he is a world beater, but he is a far better player than Bullock



the comments so far seem to be positive, and as NickyKiss says, there is a player in there when he wants to. I personally think some of that has been down to playing 2nd fiddle to Thompson and Havard this last season, and not being able to get up to speed "in game" quickly enough. When he starts he's usually very good and a player i'll be disappointed to see move on, but equally its a good move for him if he can guarantee himself a starting spot, as its unlikely he'll replace Thompson or Havard as starting prop this or next season

Beat me too is

Agreed, and because of our alleged interest, they will be paying him a lot more on their Salary Cap than what he is worth, in order to retain him.

Assuming Vaughan, Musgrove and Tai go back to Australia next year we’ll have 3 quota places available. Fitzgibbon may also go back but I’m not sure when his deal expires. Be interesting to see who we’re after. Definitely need at least a couple of props and a back rower to add to Byrne coming in.

Fitzgibbon's deal is to November 2026.

One forward in the Vaughan mould (long minutes / yardage), and one big bopper (short bursts of disruption) please.
