i posted something very similar on the other wigan forum, but more of a question re Hill



as myself and the other Wigan fans have said, our starting props are Thompson and Havard, with Byrne usually 3rd choice with Dupree and Mago. It will be interesting to see if Matty Peet still uses Byrne all season, or if he looks to the future (for Wigan) and gives Hill more time from the bench. What Wigan cant do this season, is to isolate him completely as we will need him to be fighting fit when there are injuries and suspensions

Beat me too is

Agreed, and because of our alleged interest, they will be paying him a lot more on their Salary Cap than what he is worth, in order to retain him.

Assuming Vaughan, Musgrove and Tai go back to Australia next year we’ll have 3 quota places available. Fitzgibbon may also go back but I’m not sure when his deal expires. Be interesting to see who we’re after. Definitely need at least a couple of props and a back rower to add to Byrne coming in.

Fitzgibbon's deal is to November 2026.

One forward in the Vaughan mould (long minutes / yardage), and one big bopper (short bursts of disruption) please.
