Quote ="SMB93"The thing with Butler is that he isn’t flashy. He doesn’t do anything special but he is reliable. Don’t quote me on this, but I don’t think he’s missed a single tackle in all the games he’s played for Wakefield. He’s a solid defender and although he doesn’t make meters like Fifita when carrying, his yardage isn’t bad.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the people slating Butler and don’t believe he should be in the squad or isn’t SL standard don’t understand RL as well as they think they do.
I like the lad and think with more game time will develop into an even better player for us. I think the competition for game time with the addition of Bowden will help with his development and drive too.

Sorry, I know you said don't quote me but I thought I'd look and see if you were right.
As far as I can tell from Superleague website he has played 3 games for us.
Hull - 14 tackles made, 1 Missed
Salford - 10 tackles made, 2 Missed
Wigan - 11 tackles made, 0 Missed
So he has missed a few but not many, and given that he's not played many minutes in those games then I don't think those stats are bad tbh
