Given our prop situation, it's a damning indictment of Butler's commitment to training.

We don't know the inside info but to ship him out shows that Powell had absolutely no faith in him.

I'm afraid so and I am not surprised (though I know nothing about his training). Hope Butler he proves me totally wrong.

We can do little more than trust Powell and judge the 2023 season.

What a shame. I had high hopes for a "big bopper"

Warrington coach Steve Price said:

I doubt it but hope he gets back. Out for 4 months injured.

I know nothing about him but these players tend to shine at Trinity, don’t know why.

The last one we got from you turned into a top prop for us, 10 points if you remember.



Of course he could be a total duffer.

Hard to judge Butler from his stay at Wire

He came to Warrington, as a young prop having played for England Knights at London.

However he arrived completely out-of-shape, having missed a full season owing to CoVid restrictions in the London fixtures.

Played only a handful of 1st team games for us, but has played OK for our reserves this season, since the reserve games have been reinstated.

Being released could be the kick up the derriere that he needed to sort his future out.

Hope he does well at Wakefield and I wish him all the best

Of course, I forgot he is injured though in my defence he's so anonymous a player and captain I scarrcely notice he's playing anyway.

Probably making room in the squad for another full back. Makes sense are we SO well off for props like…

Makes sense are we?

He might not be the best, BUT..... if we get injuries/suspensions in the prop area, then we're goosed.

If you're skint, do you lend people money?

They wouldn't over in Yorkshire.

Have you recently spent some time on Degobah and picked up the lingo?
