Back in 2023 Thirroul Butchers Rugby League Football Clubs 110th year of existence two old players Jeff Williams along with Phill Ostwald had an idea to create a register of all the players that have pulled on a Butchers 1st Grade jumper
It was decided to include all players that played first grade on any given day ( i.e. Reserves on the bench )
At our 110-year anniversary luncheon the list was unveiled. Created and finalised to what the club believes to be an accurate reflection of all 1st Grade Debutantes throughout the clubs history
We have just updated our register to include those that debuted in 2024 and 2025
Background of the register:
- Release the 1st grade debut list publicly to the club websites
- A link to the list is on our club website and is open for review and comment and please contact Phil Ostwald on 0408523556 for any discrepancies that may be identified.
- The list to stay alive as more research is put into the full names of players from pre 1946 listings through ancestry and census records. Spare lines are available throughout the data sheet to cater for any omissions.
