If Saints land Metcalf that would be the best news. We can only hope. I am wrapt we have Atko as the Sharks did a great job wasting his years and letting us forget how good he actually is. Metcalf will complement him and they will make a super halves combo.

NZ Warriors have some strength in that area so hopefully an early release if he can get one to join in 2026. They are a smart club and replaced AFB for the Fish so they may have a half in mind ready to join if Metcalf is playing the homesick card like AFB did

I think the poster is just echoing existing rumors. I doubt Metcalfe would say he wants to leave just after marrying a Kiwi? That would be weird. I'd be pissed too. We gave Metcalfe his break. Always possible though.

Get rid of him immediately.
 
I don't think any of our juniors are ready for 2026 so we would only have Boyd/CHT/TMM

Earliest I can see us letting him go is 2027 season. Anyway all just speculation.
What about Linnane? Could he be our 4th half in 2026. He turned 20 in August 2025. Has only played Flegg. So probably needs a year of NSW cup. Probably not.

I thought so too, but looks to be further from what was posted on here on the bye round. Don’t think he’s married a Kiwi, but married in NZ?





Charlie white on bye round said Luke Metfcalf potentially looking at coming home to Sydney
Yeah heard that aswell because there is other opportunities in Sydney outside of football. I am counting down the days until November 1 hopefully we go all in
 
For Metcalf, if he was gonna bounce surely his agent would have indicated all ready, he would be a hot get by any club interested in a half ( souths / dragons / tigers possibly plus probably many more) and for him to not be drumming up interest atleast works in our favour.
On the other hand the absence of a signed offer from the Warriors is noteworthy as often incumbent clubs act before November 1 when they alone have negotiation avenues and rights.

Im trying to stay positive, cause in all honesty looking back the extending of TMM for a year might have been the writing on the wall that Metcalf had indicated he wanted an early release.

Think we need to consider he’s not young and with all the injuries, he potentially needs to take the payday with a young family. I could see the dragons probably throwing the biggest offer his way, so perhaps money is the driver?
