Even allowing for the likes of Carter, Gordon, Knight and Tetevano, we look light on depth of experienced big forwards. Whilst I think Butcher will be a superstar in years to come he just isn't big enough now. At 184cm and 97kg he isn't big enough to mix it on a weekly basis in the NRL. He needs to be playing at 100-102kg to be effective against the big packs in the NRL.

I reckon he will develop quick like Cords has a very good footy brain in his head...A Captain one day.

Interchange reductions will show the value of players like Butcher and Matterson..
