Recently returning from a successful tour of South Africa with the NSW country team, this weeks player profile is former NRL player Jamie Feeney. Jamie is a former Bulldog and Storm first grade player who racked up an impressive 132 games with two very successful clubs between 1999 and 2006. Jamie last season led Erina Eagles to a grand final in the central coast competition before moving to sunny Thirroul. Although claiming to be a halfback trapped in a forwards body, Feeneys big game experience and knowledge are invaluable to the Butchers 2014 campaign and he has been training the house down at pre season sessions and also been spotted taking on the escarpment runs in his spare time for extra training!!
