Is this from Mav?

Would add fuel to the Sao out rumour.

Byrne would be a decent signing. A regular in the Wigan side, doesn't miss many games and is experienced but still relatively young.

Yes seen Mav say it. However a good source has also told me.

Fair enough. He'd be a good signing if something is genuinely in it.

He's not got massive minutes at Wigan lately, Peet prefers Havard, Thompson and Ellis who all play big minutes as starters.

They still have plenty of options at prop too. Harvie Hill will probably replace Cooper plus they have Eseh and Chan coming back in, although I'm not sure either are 'Wigan quality'

Yep. Him and Cooper/Hill plus Letuele for Sao and I'll sleep more soundly this winter. Still have the occasional nightmare though.

Surprised if he's leaving wigan as he seems to be a starting 17 player for them. I hope it's true, just what we need but can't see it

Be happy with Byrne and hopefully its true, he is good player and young enough, a bit underused at Wigan, but they have so much strength in that department, ideally he replaces Sao, but if if Sao stays, think he would be a good signing. If Sao goes, still hopeful of another forward to come in.

Desperate for another centre, as I said yesterday, we might have to target an under contract player and use a transfer fee, someone like Toby King or Harry Newman. Other than that, someone like Connor Wrench. If we dont have a quota place that is.

If we do, bring in Te Where.

Byrne would be a good signing for me. Young enough but also still experienced and coming from a first class team and environment. A big body who can run hard. Has disciplinary problems at times so that would need a lot of work but he still has his best years as a prop in front of him so if he can channel his aggression a bit better I think he'd end up been a big player for us.
Wigan have an embarrassment of richs in the pack and lads like Hill knocking on the door so I can see them been willing to part with him.

Would be pleased with his signing.

Byrne was a name I heard in June/July time, and thought it was a bit unrealistic as he was in the Wigan side, and playing well.

He is a big body, aggressive, and would add much needed size

Byrne is linked with Salford.

Id try to get both Byrne and Bienek.
Byrne off contract end of 2025.
Desperately need a big strapping centre, Salford showed us why..

Tomlinson said there’s been contact with Byrne but no deal done

Kemp twins and Westerman signing first team contracts, after Rovers came sniffing around Callum and Westerman.

Dan also says we have held talks with Bryne/Wigan

Where have you seen that Dave, I read the Kemp article and can’t see anything

Shock KR try to sign a youngster from elsewhere rather than developing their own.

Cas are after that Rimbu, would have been exactly what we needed a dynamic hooker. Instead we signed Cust.

So Cas are now after Rimbu.

22 year old who won the Queensland's cup best player award.

And instead we sign Cust, not even good enough to get in the Salford team and who hasn't set SL alight.

To say I'm even more underwhelmed with the signing of Cust after reading the Rimbu article is an understatement.

I'd have rather taken a punt on a young, hungry overseas signing, than this one.

How do you know, never played top level rugby, same was saud about Lovodua, who is now at Doncaster?

As bombed out has said above I’d have much rather tried a 22 year old with something to prove than Cust who can’t even get in Salford’s team and is injury prone. Lovodua never won Queensland cup player of the year either.

Let's not go over the top here, it's not like Rimba is a top NRL player, Cust has played for Wigan and Manly, Rimba deemed not good enough for the NRL.

Let's not get carried away by a youtube highlights as we have been here before.

Cartwright will know more about both players, we also have three young hookers.

Maybe we should trust Cartwrights judgement.

Didn't exactly work out too well with Ockunbor or Pele.

Salford ate 4th, we finished 11th, that's the position we are in.

I'm not sure using our quota spots on a gamble is a good.idea.

Cust isn’t even a top championship player.

Anybody with any knowledge of the game would never have signed Okunbur.
