Roosters and Vermin go to war over Nat Butcher

[fletch]

IT may be the middle of the off season, but old rivals the Roosters and Souths are embroiled in a bitter dispute.

The Roosters, seething that Souths pinched one of their best youngsters, Scots College star Angus Crichton last month, have retaliated by throwing a lucrative deal at Rabbitohs youngster Nat Butcher.

The son of former Rabbitoh Blake Butcher, Nat is regarded as the best youngster in Souths’ ranks and was named Harold Matthews Player of the Year recently.

Butcher is still only 16 and has been signed by the Roosters for 2016 – so Souths hold some home of getting him to change his mind before June next year.

“It’s tit for tat by the Roosters – put and simple,” one Souths official told me.

“We took one of theirs … and they don’t like it.”

Well, we didn't steal Mitch Ross, so they should be thankful.

Looks like a midget lol. For a prop, 180cm is laughable.

Same height as Paul Gallen and Mark O'Meley. You are a dead set dribbler Tony. Back to the burrow for you.

Sam Moa doesn't go bad for a bloke around 1.8m either.
