So one of the best defensive displays ive seen in recent years from an FC fullback doesnt warrant the term awesome because he only made 1 half break early on and didnt go the full length etc?

As i said earlier, think your doing Byrne a dis-service mate TBH

No his all round game was awesome that day.

If Byrne was awesome on Friday the likes of Radders and the Yak were out of this world.

Byrne was my MOM with those 2 just behind him.

Are you serious?

I've said several times that Byrne had a solid game but I just dont get why people are bigging his performace up.

what a pointless conversation, Byrne did his job at fullback and, by all accounts, had a good game.

Does he really need comparing with Motu like this?

Nope.

Two different players offering different strengths and weaknesses, and one of them isn't even fit yet.

How else do you suppose we all decide who we would like to play at FB on Saturday?

Must have been good to rate above St. Briscoe.

Byrne, he has done nothing to deserve dropping, Motu to the bench if fit.

Thats not how it works. Motu is the first choice FB, Byrne is "covering" Motu until he is fit. Motu wasn't dropped for playing poorly.
