    BUTCHER BROTHERS RE-COMMIT TO ROOSTERS

    The Sydney Roosters have today announced that brothers Nat and Egan Butcher have signed two-year extensions with the Club.

    Penning a contract extension, 24-year-old Nat is now signed through to the end of season 2024. Having progressed through the Roosters’ lower grades, he will play his 76th NRL match this weekend. He made his NRL debut in the final round of the 2016 season and was a member of the Roosters’ 2019 Premiership-winning side.

    Away from football, Nat combines his training commitments with study for a Bachelor of Commerce and is the Club’s 2021 nominee for the NRL’s prestigious Ken Stephen Medal.

    “I love everything about being a Rooster and I’m really proud that I’ll continue to be a part of this great Club,” said Nat.

    Nat’s 21-year-old younger brother Egan, who also progressed through the Club’s lower grades, made his NRL debut earlier this season and has made 10 appearances so far in the top grade.

    “The Club means a lot to me, and I’ve learnt a lot from Robbo and the senior boys around me. I know that there’s a lot of improvement in me, and I’m stoked that I’ll continue to be part of the team we have here,” said Egan.

    Roosters Head Coach Trent Robinson was pleased to have both Nat and Egan locked in to the Club’s long-term plans.

    “Nat has taken the step up as a leading voice within our group this year which has been great to see,” said Robinson

    “With Nat, you know that he will apply himself to everything it does, whether it be football related or in his studies away from the game, and we look forward to seeing his growth continue over the next few years.

    “Egan has also been in our system for a while, and he has grabbed the opportunity to play in the NRL this year with both hands. He’s a hard worker and a great character and his best football is still ahead of him, so it’s great to have Egan locked in until at least the end of 2023,” he added.

    The Butchers form part of a core of players who have progressed through the Roosters Pathway Program to play together including Joseph Manu, Victor Radley, Sitili Tupouniua, Sam Verrills, Fletcher Baker, Freddy Lussick, Daniel Suluka-Fifita, Ben Marschke, Lachlan Lam and Billy Smith.

                  I just got that email. Excellent news. See this is why we are consistently voted the club other players want to come and play for.

                      Excellent news! Robbo has built a great culture - every one of our players publicly state how much they love our Club!

                        Go the Butcher boys! I hope we can keep our Pathways group together. May not all be champions but can form a champion club.

                        It was interesting listening to Phil "Gus" Gould's thoughts on why Parra haven't jumped that next hurdle to top 2 team. He cited they buy in talent, but don't build that foundation of a Parra culture and DNA.

                        We are probably the opposite, and a likely top 4 finish this year after what's been thrown our way, is living proof of how that's kept us in the hunt.

                          Very happy with this news and puts to bed the rumours that Egan might be off to the tigers. Robbo has plenty of faith in Nat and Egan looks like he has a huge future.

                              Great renewals.
                              One way of looking at our retentions is that, along with Watson, there’s three less spots are available if you are desperate to play for RW&B. Great bargaining tool to leverage
