I don't think we will miss Bryn as our pack for next year looks like the strongest for some time. Also the likes of Dixon is stepping up to Bryn's level and should surpass it.
As for Emmit and Smith going:
Emmit could have stayed but given the depth of the pack for next season obviously saw an opportunity to move and play regular rugby at a decent club, no doubt a wage increase helped sway it as well. I don't believe we should be breaking the bank to keep hold of younger players on the back of a few decent games, however it is a shame players like emmit have to move on.
In regards to Smith, hindsight is a wonderful thing, I have no doubt that if we could have predicted Kyle's body would turn into Angel Delight we have kept Smith. However out of the two and injury free Kyle was always going to be the more outstanding talent.
All in all I think we have done what is right
