Tetevano injured. Collins to debut?

[Kelby]

Liu straight into the 17

Butcher came off the bench against the Eels in the 20s. Ran and tackled well but I was amazed at how tiny he is compared to the others. He really looks like a halfback.

I saw him in the players section on Anzac Day and he is built like a truck. Must have bulked up over the off season.

Yeh a lot more top heavy this year. Surprising given hes battled with shoulder injuries meaning he would've been pretty limited in the gym.

I walked past him the other day.

He looked pretty big to me.

Nat Butcher is built like a brick shithouse. Not super tall but is about 6 foot.

Maybe Thirteen got him mixed up with Lachlan Lam?

[Mickie Lane]

Butcher has a solid build but he is not that tall, I dont reckon.
Whats happened to Grant Garvey?

I hope Collins gets a run this weekend cause I want to see how he handles himself against a team like the Dogs.

everyone likes to say hes not tall, but hes taller than players like mitchell Aubusson, and is the same height as taukeiaho, just needs a little more beef for regular first grade.

Butcher was walking up the stairs by Bay 14 so I got the chance to see him up close. Yes he is a strong build but I would hardly say 'like a brick shit house'. He is very short.

No way is he taller than Aubo or same as SST. No chance.

No I knew which one was Lam. Built like a half. Good!

I reckon the players profiles are in correct. Mitch Aubusson is no way shorter than Pearce who I believe is taller than Butcher.

i do agree they're a bit off, but in a pic standing next to minichello a year or two ago, seems same height as him who is 6 foot (and manu is 6"2)

Nat butcher is a very similar build to paul gallen

I wish this was true.
Nat could hide behind Gallen if he was standing side on.
Tell yourselves what you want but Butcher is tiny.

Butcher is 19. Gallen is a seasoned pro.

And he might be 97kg according to his profile but he'll be at least 5kg heavier next year. The kid still has plenty of growing to do.

Also, I don't care if he's not huge. I'm more interested in how he plays. And he has all the qualities of a terrific first grade player.
