I think it'll be covered by his/Wigans insurance. Didn't that happen to Sam Burgess and Greg Inglis and in Inglis's case is the reason he can't play again in Australia? It wont be covered by his! He will want a full pay off, part insurance, major part severance. Option 2 is he picks up the money like Perry did to us.
As for the size of the forwards Byrne is 6'3", Kilner 6'4", and Havard 6'4. Both Byrne and Kilver are over 17 stone. Havard would have walked young player of the year had sadly he not got injured.
