Quote: GiantJake1988 "3 year deal. And sounds like he chose us over St Helens which is definitely the right decision for him. Im quite optimistic about the Butler signing as he came to the sport very late so has likely got more improvement in him than say a James Bentley or Joe Batchelor who both went to Saints recently and have both struggled to push into the Saints team. Bentley is OOC this year and might find himself struggling for a new deal at Saints. So where it might be appealing to go to a club like Saints, it might not be what best for your career. Butler will certainly get his chance here.'"
Indeed. He’s just down the road from us- perhaps he doesn’t fancy driving down the m62 carpark, sorry motorway, on a regular basis - speaking from current experience - I don’t blame him!
He’s more likely to get game time with us. And will not command a large salary.
Wardle and taai first choice in the second row- for me next season - Hopefully the money saved will go towards the salary of a couple of bigger props
