Anyone still bagging Nat Butcher??

[Juggler]

Is he wearing that tight thing on his arm due to an injury, or is it for style?

Off season surgery?

[Juggler]

He was playing backrow in 2019 & was very very good.
2020 he played both backrow & in the middle & was pretty good.
2021 he played in the backrow & wasn’t too bad.
2022 Sitilli is now the Roosters best backrower & Angus so far has been average, I think he is recovering from an arm injury.

A lot of our attack on Friday went left rather than right.

Nat’s great. He’s scored more tries in one game than that dickhead Addo-Carr has all season.

Bit harsh on Addo Carr, I like his attitude

Besides he plays for the Bulldogs....

Which is odd when the right was our dominant side last year.

I don't want to read too much into it as it's still early days but there's no doubt the play the balls and lines Tupouniua was giving his ballplayers as options on Friday night created a lot of what was working so well down that left edge.

Had elbow surgery in the offseason missed a decent chunk of the preseason training.

I wonder if that’s why he’s ducking into tackles rather than using his arm as a bumper…

Crichton's been benched if that means anything. I hope Crichton finds some form soon but am equally happy to see Butch, Sitili and SST work their respective ways into our starting squad this week through effort.

It looks like Butcher has been rewarded for his recent performance and like Angus has also got what he deserved.

Don't be surprised if Tupouniua is out with that concussion Robbo mentioned he felt pretty crook on Friday night he has also had a few head knocks over the last 12 months.

Agree. I think he will most likely be out.

I am! 2 x tackle restarts !! Lazy lazy lazy

Butcher was solid in D during that 1st half. There was a point around the 31st min where he made 4 straight tackles in one set. Can't question that effort

People on here will though

[Rooster90]

imo Butch keeps that starting spot, Angus to also start

Sitilli Bench

That's the best balance....
