Butcher Injury Sidelines Him for Season: Roosters’ Scramble to Fill Gap

Butcher’s season-ending injury, sustained during the Round 12 clash against the Canberra Raiders, leaves him facing a lengthy recovery period of nine to twelve months.

The Roosters’ forward will likely miss training until Christmas and faces a race against time to be ready for the 2025 NRL season opener, where he remains under contract.

Butcher’s injury occurred early in the game, limiting his playing time to just 12 minutes before being forced off the field.

With his absence, Roosters coach Trent Robinson will need to find a replacement in the second row, considering Sitili Tupouniua’s imminent return from concussion and Siua Wong’s potential inclusion in the starting lineup.

Robinson’s decision-making is further complicated by the absence of Lindsay Collins and Spencer Leniu, who are selected for State of Origin Game 1, leaving vacancies in the forward pack.

As the Roosters prepare to face the North Queensland Cowboys in Round 13 and with a bye in Round 14, the search for suitable replacements intensifies.
