i dont think byrne will get dropped simple as that

why fix whats not damaged

Byrne wouldn't be getting dropped. He is "covering" our first choice FB until he is fit to resume playing.

Only if you are basing it on squad numbers.

What are you baseing it on then.....Byrne doesnt deserve to be dropped.....if i wasnt for him,we wouldnt have won.....he pulled off 2 one on one try saving tackles (and to someone else on here that never happens) and won us the game.....Wigan never put the bomb on him again after he took the 1st couple.

Yes he is. But if Byrne plays like he did on Friday Motu needs to work very hard to get back in the side immediately upon his return. Could be an arguement for him playing a game or 2 in the 21s first for that match fitness. Nice position to be in to not rush him back in.

Bynre stays at FB for me, Motu needs to earn his place back.

Jesus Andy...thats a bloody blinkerd way of looking at it.....Byrnes performance doest warrant Motu returning.

The numbers have nothing to do with it.

Motu is our first choice FB I dont see how anyone can argue with that. If he had been fit on Friday he would have been playing FB. Whether you think he is our best FB or not has nothing to do with it as Agar sees him as our FB so therefore he is our first choice FB. The issue of who is our first choice Centre partnership is less clear.

First choice full back or not he is not guarenteed to come straight back in when the number 2 thats covering for him is playing so well. Lets see how Byrne backs his performance up v Celtic.
