Butterworth needs to be playing. He's got potential for sure but it won't be realised unless he gets a season long loan at a club that will play him every week. Do you lot dual reg with anyone?

At same age as jack reiss was playing academy rugby for bulls, he’s one year older than him so I’m intrigued as to why you think at this stage last year reiss was so far ahead? He didn’t play a single first team game for bulls so that’s why i wonder why it’s perceived he’s gonna be ready for super league, he can’t play Academy and we won’t have a reserves

Reiss has played first team for the Bulls last year. One game he played scrum half against Halifax and definitely stood out in that game. He played a few others at hooker and did well. He also had a good month on loan at Batley, which was a strange one with them obviously being a division higher. He should have played more this season as he needs to be playing. Kear obviously wasn't prepared to play him for his own reasons. I wish him well at Huddersfield and playing under Woolford should really help him

Edit just seen Bullseyes comment above and agree he needs a full season in a first team environment as it will bring him on no end for me.

It’s one of them we can’t afford to keep him on the contract level he deserves when he’s not a first team choice for us.

Loan him to a champ club for a season and you’ll have a ready made superleague player. He’s going to be good imo.

Are you getting rid of a hooker as Woolfords son is also signing for you?

I very much doubt we would sign a 4th hooker.

Been released by bulldogs so maybe some truth in it

Source in Aus said he was going to sign but potential work permit issues as hasn't played NRL/International so looks like he isn't coming, Butterworth must have been signed instead.
