I’d want yards from the start and yards from the bench. I rate Byrne highly but he’s more of an all round package, then a guy whose going to put big numbers up. He’d make my 17 but from the bench (against Saints in particular I’d have him in a role of getting after Paasi when he comes on). I’d start Cooper and probably Ellis and then you have a good blend on the bench of impact and good yardage via Byrne, Havard and Mago. I still honestly think Singleton will get in our starting 13 though when available. It might not be my choice but my choice is worthless and he’s had a pretty good year up to now and I think he’s trusted massively by the coaching staff.
I like Byrne as a starter specifically because he is an all round package and is becoming very solid with few errors/penalties etc. Would he be as effective off the bench? Worth a look I guess but I feel you're looking for impact more from a bench prop.
I think you're right regarding Singleton and, to be fair, he has been good by and large this year. That said we need to be preparing for the playoffs and possibly final and the pack most likely to be successful there should be first choice and I don't think that includes Singleton who hasn't shown up so far against Saints.
