Gutted if its true. Byrne's played well and was looking good for a regular starting spot this year. Fortunately we have decent back up, but fingers crossed for Skinny

i dont want to make assumtions until anythings announced.

Unfortunately the rumour is true, i was also talking to a first team player who has confirmed this, apparently its his ACL same injury as bullard i've heard. This is awful news and I wish him well and hope he has a speedy recovery although i dont think he will play again this season

This begs the question, should he have gone back on after first coming off with him saying (alledgedly) 'it felt as if it had popped'

Don't think so. I think it's just tough luck. You could pay him out and de-register him to release a quota spot but would have no cash left within the cap to get a replacement, I thought.

does that depend if you can get him to agree to a early release and pay his contract off at a smaller percentage? like we did with dykes?

i'm in no way suggesting we should do this btw.

To be fair, would love to see that fullback match up. Briscoe, strong under a high ball and postionally very strong, against Slater, who isnt, but can run like the wind.

Are you having a laugh?

Why's that? Because he doesn't realise what he has just said and made him self look silly?

Looks like it if its true about the injury

Would be a blow if he does go as hes under-rated imo is very solid in all positions ( FB, Wing and Centre ) hes knows where the tryline is and is a great defender and i cant believe some of the stick hes gets tbh
