Playing career
An East Hills junior, Cutler made his debut for Canterbury against Penrith in 1973. In 1974, he played at centre in the grand final defeat by Eastern Suburbs. In 1979, Cutler switched to fullback and played in his second grand final which was won by St George. The following season, Cutler continued to play at fullback but was injured towards the end of the year and missed out on Canterbury's grand final victory in 1980 over Easts. This was Canterbury's first premiership victory in 38 years. Cutler spent a further two seasons with the club but retired at the end of 1982 due to injury. After retirement, Cutler was made a life member of the club. His son Trent also played for Canterbury.[2][3]
