Woolford seems keen on him. I’ve heard good things.

I've seen quite a few fax games over the last couple of years. He's a talent.

Probably him and Grady are the only Fax players who would get in a Superleague side.

woolford went to watch halifax last week too, maybe just to support grix but maybe watching chester butler too!

I've heard we see Butler as a replacement for Mellor, if he decides to go. However, id certainly take him as well. Id rather us take punts on young home grown players than over the hill Aussies.

Fergie, Murphy, Taai & Bruno etc may only have another 2 years left, potentially.

well we have hewitt as a ready made replacement if not too

Butler signed for 2020 apparently

Not heard this yet but I have been told from a reliable source that Mellor won't be here next season

Fair play, I rate Mellor but if another club values him higher than our own than who can blame him for moving. I wish him well. Think he will push internationally in a few years

Hes a good young player but will never be international quality (my opinion). A decent Super League player indeed though. Chester Butler has the potential to be just as good as Mellor, if not better.

He’s an international player already

refused the offer so if the price isnt right for the club then we cant fit him in the cap or we dont think hes worth what he wants

we usually get this right, jake connor one we got wrong mind!

i wouldnt say mellor is international class, not enough size for me in the second row

And he lacks in defence




Though you still have avoided explaining why you think that.
