Rob Butler : Tue Mar 28, 2023 11:52 am  

Linked with signing for Bradford.

I thought we were keen on bringing players in, not letting them go?

Last weeks news I think and only slight rumblings. Doesn’t appear much in it.

Not sure you can use it to criticise the clubs transfer business just yet.

Reality of business is someone may have to leave for someone to come in.

I reckon a packet of Lambert and Butler would do more yards than Atoni. I thought Butler was decent when playing this year. Can’t understand how the 58 metres a game wonder is keeping him out personally

Another pointless signing. Hardly had an impact.

Getting rid of a youg forward and keeping a 34 year old .Would like to no how many meters Proctor as made

Butler has had some stick off the majority on SM since his arrival but I thought he was progressing nicely and I would be sorry to see him go.
All the doubters can jump ship and switch to referring to him as a young British prop. Alternatively the powder can be kept dry just in case he stays.

Rob Butler is a young British prop. Aren't you happy we got him instead of an old one? You can't have it both ways.

I'm happy with his progress to be honest. I'd happily play him as one of the 4 props.

Apparently Bradford wanted him, but he wants to stay.

To be honest I’m happy with that. I’ve seen him run it in real hard and he’s been really putting himself about in defence too.

It’s certainly been noticeable to me how he’s trying hard to get us on the front foot.

I’m happy to see him develop and there’s something there. If he keeps putting that effort in then it will come good for him and us.

I am happy for him to stay. He’s young for a prop still.
