I didn’t call you a moron, I’m assuming you agree he played very well but disagree on resigning due to the injury. However if you don’t think he played great then perhaps you should take my post as a personal insult.

Did you report that comment lol.
Look man I feel like you are. But anyways, this is a great debate because this is going to have a huge impact on the club for the next two seasons.
I stand by what im saying. I dont trust his body, I question giving him the keys at the start of the season, and the club made an astute signing bringing in boyd as cover.
I have on doubt they saw this scenario play out.

For the record I don’t think you are even remotely in the realms of moron status. Anyway moving on, I’d argue that without Metcalf we wouldn’t even be in the top 8 right now. We’ve had a lot of close games where he was instrumental in getting us the win. So without him this year would possibly be another middling to disappointing season. Next year I think we get him back early enough however the problem for a few months at least will be his agility, speed off the mark, etc. However beyond that I expect he’d get back to full fitness & be a far greater halves asset than anyone else in our squad.
Might be worth noting Sam Walker, similar body type & position, made his comeback in reserve grade 9 months & 1 week after his ACL rupture last season. He was selected to play first grade the next game after that however then broke his thumb. So just to repeat myself, the same timeframe would have Metcalf back in early April with maybe 1-2 games Reserve grade & then back in first grade after that. Listening to NRL physio, a possible complication could be a rod in Metcalf’s leg from when he broke his tibia last season, however otherwise I reckon he’s hopefully back pretty early next year.

He’s a great player and still had loads of pace after his first acl repair. He’s getting better and better and fortunately halves don’t need to be that fast.
Very hard to find great halves in the nrl at the moment, resigning him is a no brainer

Maybe top 8?

More likely bottom 9
woah, roughest take i think i've ever seen on this forum... I really feel for Luke, he was getting somewhere, in our system and right along side our other soldiers - we were getting there, it was promised - he's going to be here next year, with our rookies one more year experienced, tougher and taking back was was starting to be promised after the sharks game - the loyalty will pay off
I hope your right cannonball, I really do.

Get well soon Lukey. You were on course for Dall M. Unlucky. I know the boys will try hard, but we just lost our 2 most critical players. Good season team. Next year will be even better.
Now that it's happened a second time (along with the leg break) there is definitely reason for concern about his recovery, but going into this season he did all the rehab needed, was looking great fitness wise for the first 15 rounds and was even talked up as an Origin bolter a couple of weeks ago form wise so it's understandable why he was chosen as SJ's successor. In the modern game the only half that has been miraculously unscathed is DCE, otherwise it's been a stacked casualty ward.

We’re here to ride the roller coaster, good, bad otherwise and be emotional sometimes and analytical others.
End of the day I think everyone backs our players and really feels sorry for Metcalf and what he is going through.
I am sure you speak for MOST of us Wiz
