How is Butch?

[zac]

His wife just posted something on instagram about his knee and said "nothing too serious has happened, he'll be back soon hopefully".

that would be great news

[Random Rooster]

The concern over N Butch being out is a testament to how much his standing on this site has increased. He is a very solid player that plays above his weight in the middle and is perfectly suited to this new style of VRL

He is such an effective defender with a high work rate. Plus he was running some nice lines off Walker and Radley

Have to wait and see i suppose as nothing on Chook site about the extent of the injury.

Good to see the club keeping the fans informed.

Yes possibly, or it could be the lack of available players we have.

Yes he works hard...Yes he defends ok......but fark me i would back my 16 year old Daughter to stop Nat dead in his tracks with any carry. I know most on here like him now but I just cant warm to him. Egan looks like being 10x the player of Nate the grape

His stats are pretty good when you consider he comes off the bench most times - average game time of 55 minutes

Egan's stats- Average game time 30 Minutes

Nats stats have always read ok as he does try hard....but stats do lie. He rarely if ever bends the line or wins contact when running the ball, even off fast play the balls.

Where as Egan is the complete opposite and always looks hard to stop as he runs with purpose, is bigger and has better leg speed. Egan is also showing enormous promise as anfearless hole runner which is hugely underrated

Would he be allowed to come into team this week ? We have only named 20 players.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Egan has that future rep player look about him.

N Butcher must bend the line though as far as what post contact metres are

N Butcher -post contact metres 619.50

E Butcher - post contact metres 291.90

Sitili - post contact metres 463

Radley - post contact metres 289

JWH - post contact metres 1129

SST - post contact metres 994

Crichton - post contact metres 955

Tedesco - post contact metres 757

Toops actually leads the NRL Post Contact metres with 1527-Average 69

There is no way Egan is bigger than Nat at this stage - I would think Nat has 8kgs on Egan. I agree he runs really and threatens and breaks the line though. But we will miss Nat massively.

PCL confirmed....3-6 weeks

FFS. You're bagging Nat Butcher. Did you call him the Grape? You have no idea. He gets us multiple fast play the balls, and bends the line plenty, and makes a shitload of effective tackles and controlled play the balls every game. And is all round a real good player. And you find a way to bag him? You must be farkin blind.
