Was the #9 forced on Butters or was he offered it and said he'd take it?Not sure I get this, Buttsy should make his own path rather than feeling obligated mid career to go to another number. How does Dave Granger feel about it? Times are changing!
I heard Jonas was gonna smash him if he didn't take the number 9Was the #9 forced on Butters or was he offered it and said he'd take it?
They talked to Robbie about who he would like to see wearing his number, as they did when Brad retired and he said he would be happy to see Duursma in 7. Robbie said Butters would be his choice. I expect it was a mutual decision.Was the #9 forced on Butters or was he offered it and said he'd take it?
I don't like 18... And I wish JHF hadn't taken 18 as well....I wish butters just made 18 his own
Clurey wanted it but was too timid to ask.I heard Jonas was gonna smash him if he didn't take the number 9
he fell over on the way to asking.Clurey wanted it but was too timid to ask.
I love 18. It takes me back to my childhood, watching Dave Granger throwing vicious haymakers at any and every bays player dumb enough to get within striking distanceI don't like 18... And I wish JHF hadn't taken 18 as well....

That is my understanding of the process hence my question to the poster saying that Butters was "obligated" to take the #9.They talked to Robbie about who he would like to see wearing his number, as they did when Brad retired and he said he would be happy to see Duursma in 7. Robbie said Butters would be his choice. I expect it was a mutual decision.
Apparently Fantasia wanted to change from #13 to #18 but the club were concerned that the extra weight would put too much strain on his body.he fell over on the way to asking.
