To be honest I thought that he was our best prop against Penrith and his first spell was the best I have seen him play in a Wigan shirt.

Yes he was very good in that first 20 I agree.

With Byrne it’s just him finding his best more often that we need. He was probably the form prop in the league for 4-6 weeks until his injury last year, absolutely belting people and smashing the ball up and he was excellent against Penrith. That Byrne can be an England prop.

His season so far though has been almost as disrupted as Mike Coopers, so it’s hard to criticise him. It’s time for him to step up now at Saints and then Leigh. Get in to them and go hunting like that Catalans away game last year. That’s his role in this team for me and it’s a role we need as a side.

I’m a Byrne fan and agree with you that at his best he could be an English prop. If he’s not careful he could lose his place in the 17 as Hill and particularly Mago have significantly stepped up their performances. Hopefully it’s a couple of niggly injuries that have stopped him becoming more consistent over longer periods.
I always think that he steps up againt Saints and Walmsley in particular. Hopefully he’s fit and raring to go on GF and he can literally get into Walmsley’s ribs.

We sound poor but this ref is the same one we had for London and he’s blowing everything Jesus needs let the game flow both ways
