Not sure but he wasn't bad and was worthy of another go IMO. Strange one if he is dropped when we are light as it is.

I think Butler has a fair bit to do to show he can play at this level. Last year's coaching staff obviously had doubts & so does Powell. Might be injured but for me still has to step up.

he did ok last week, probably the best middle other than cooper for me, its a bit harsh dropping him for robson on his first week back, when i think he was missed a week or two through suspension

I have not studied last week's contribution ... which I am sure the Wire coaches have. He looks the part physically but for me he looks relatively easy to tackle.

I don't think Robson is as good as butler and he is smaller. I really don't rate Robson and don't know why we ended up retaining him when he had agreed to leave at the end of the 2020 season.

I don't know whether there are issues with butler behind the scenes which means nobody gives him a chance or he has picked up an injury which mean he misses out?

Magoulis and wrench in for king and currie. I'd love that to happen so the two 'internationals' can now realise their place in the team isn't guaranteed.

I wouldn't hold your breath

Cooper 117m 10m per carry 37 tackles
Philbin 95m 6m per carry 35 tackles
Hughes 58m 6m per carry 36 tackles
Butler 53m 7m per carry 15 tackles
Clark 31m 5 m per carry 20 tackles

Stats could do with including minutes on the pitch.

Can we get the wakey ones for comparison?

Dave Fifita 125m 17 carries 7m per carry 13 tackles
Arona 85m 16 carries 5m per carry 18 tackles
Battye 75m 10 carries 8m per carry 13 tackles
Pitt’s 49m 8 carries 6m per carry 35 tackles

Not sure if I missed any?

Ashurst?

He’s a back rower though right? Just looking at middle unit players really

Ok

Is this game on TV? Can’t see it anywhere?
