WAKEFIELD TILL END OF SEASON

Obviously Powell doesn`t rate him, but if we incur injuries to ANY of our props, we have no cover whatsoever with Doro at Widnes until the end of the season.



Or is this move because we have signed a prop for this season, and an announcement will be imminent?

hope so could be in sh~t street

It’s a permanent deal until the end of next season

It is a good move for all.

Given our prop situation, Powell must have come home training and found Butler sat in his favourite chair and eating his private stash of jaffa cakes while Mrs Powell sat starkers massaging his tootsies.



Two props shipped out having been given minimal game time and we can look forward to Jack Hughes cameos for the rest of the season.

He must offer more than Philbin on his current form

Do we support Powell or not? If he's the right coach for us, then we must assume he thinks that Hughes, J Clark, Davis offer more as "middles" than Butler. He sees them training day in, day out. He sees (and analyses better than any fan can) what the overall contributions of those players are.



EDIT - add Philbin to my list given the simultaneous post.

So, what is Butler like?

We need a metre gainer at Wakefield.

Looks a big young lad but I've never seen him play.

We don't have any metre gainers.



We've hardly seen him play. Under Price or Powell.

Doubtful, I wouldn't be expecting Hughes to make it back in the first team

Yep. You do not have to know too much about the game to asses a prop. After about 3 runs I decided he really needed a lot more umph.

I cannot seriously believe that anyone, who watches the game, should say it's a mistake to let him go.
