Not academy but butterworth just had a decent game for Batley. Good kicking game and distribution. Solid enough in defence

Yes he did. Thought his kicking was very good and showed sone smartness. Wasn’t aware he’d gone to batley but with OB and leeming doing well his chances are limited.
Sam wood was pretty solid as well, didn’t get much ball in attack, took a high kick well but just couldn’t put it over the line, his defence was very good though.

Agreed re Wood, really hope we see him back in a Giants shirt, he could be a ready made replacement for Mellor

sam wood never let us down when called upon before

agree when mellor goes he could come back into the fold at the giants and given another shot but this time in the second row

butterworth has his work cut out to try oust obrien or leeming

Butterworth looked like he plays more like a half than a hooker-he looks like a distributor like AOB rather than a runner like leeming, what he had in his favour is a kicking game too which AOB doesn’t have.

Left the Giants last year and signed a contract with Bulls.
