Butt's tackle numbers stand out as his most defining trait, averaging close to six per match across his appearances and peaking at eleven in a single game — a workload that points to a centre heavily involved in defensive structure. His carrying is efficient rather than dominant, contributing steadily through contact without commanding the bulk of his team's ball-in-hand opportunities. When the moment demands it, he has shown the capacity to step up across both disciplines in the same match, as his best individual performance demonstrates.
