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.

but if a player whos ooc gets injured for the season would insurance cover his wages on the cap?

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'

I CANT SE A MAN LIKE HIM PLAYING GAMES LIKE THAT CAN YOU?? PLAYERS KNOW WHEN ITS A PROBLEM AND THEY DONT TAKE CHANCES, BUT WISH HIM THE BEST OF LUCK ANYWAY, I RATE THE LAD AND THINK HE HAS SHOWN UP WELL , AND THAT TACKLE AGAINST WIGAN WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR YEARS!!
GOOD LUCK TO BOTH TODD & MOTU

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.

Are you having a laugh?

i'm surpised you even bothered to reply!

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

where

would be a shame if Byrne has played his last game for the club, he was just starting to show the doubting fans what he can do.

ive never doubted him. TODD IS GOD

I am not in the 'know' with any players but I have had three ACL op's on my knee.
When your ACL goes it is practically impossible to be able to turn at pace without the knee giving way under you..... a vital component to play FB.
The fact Todd came back on in the game is, hopefully, a sign that it isn't as serious as that.

Hoping so anyway.

It's now almost a week since the injury.

Can we start hoping the lack of news from the club means this really is a short and not long term problem?

There is a fair chance we have seen the last of BOTH our full backs

Thorman and Horne?

I'm sorry but as much as I hated him Kemble was GOD for your lot. Never let a ball bounce the Tw&t!

hall to get a extended run then, hope he goes well.

a real shi**er for motu and todd though.

Bring Tony Duggan in

i cant see celtic releasing their full back.

Duggan ??? Do me a favour.

Craig Hall could be fantastic at FB - kick returns, linking into the line will be excellent.

Other half ( You know the defending bit ) - fingers crossed.

Come on Craig silence your critics.

Dreadful news for both Motu & Todd if true - toughts with them.

Think its down to the individual and recovery. Had mine done years ago when it was a fairly new operation. Still playing sport no problem.

Spot on!

Agreed sad news if true but a great oppo for Craig Hall
