Devils advocate; Metcalf was the centre of our attacking structure. This is why I'm so relieved that Boyd looked so in sync out there.

Perfect game for him to debut in, as well.

On reflection, I think that is also the reason why our attack was so clunky at times for the first half of the year. Since everything revolved around Luke, we really had nothing when teams made an effort to shut him down (like in the Raiders game). He also doesn't have the long passing game that SJ had, which was crucial in putting DWZ in corners in our 2023 season. Tanah's passing game looks better imo. Happy to finally see DWZ in space and demonstrate he's still our best finisher.

Despite the scoreline Mt. Smart is always so slippery with players constantly checking their runs which stops a lot of points. In saying that it worked both for us and against us at times this game.

I really enjoyed the shape with Boyd squaring up and with fast hands out the back in there today, and TT out the back of shape also.

Hopefully Newcastle is a dryish track next weekend, would love to see us really open up with this combinations.

Brilliant Debut ...BOYD I hope WARs mgmt lock him in for least the next couple seasons..not the running game of Metcalf but he's as good if not better kicker esp. at goal and links really well with his outside ...reads the game really well .. I feel at times Metcalf can be less connected with his outsides ... Boyd just clicked tonight IMHO looking forward to next game ..

other players that deserve mention

> TT has to be one of his best games in FG
> Ford .. what a workhorse ...very LUCK like of old
> Clark ... BUY of the year ..such a beast
> Young gun forwards the same as usual impressive ... I wish Laban got more time ...Ford/Clark were gassed at times !!
> CHT solid
> RTS ---YEEESSSSSSSSSS he's looking more and more the star of old ...Please league gods nil injuries to our ROGER !!
> Roco ..dammm right up to the shoulder injury I was thinking yes I could see Roco playing into one of the top centres of the game
> Bald brother off the bench ...solid more time please

others
>DWZ moving in the right direction ... still needs D work ..but overall better
>Pomps average ...
>Nuikore average couple decent runs but getting bitch one on one FFS!! ball strip ??

As an insanely pro Metcalf guy, I can't help but agree.

LM vs TMM. Not even a conversation to be had.

LM vs Boyd. Now that's a big old discussion point.

I like what I saw out of him tonight. He's not flashy, but I'm not sure we need him to be with this team. Especially when you have our freakish juniors carving it up.

Gr8 grinding win
Someone needs to tell Egan
Get involved in the game
He offered nothing out of dummy half in runs at all
Bring on Healey

sydneywarrior92 · Jul 13, 2025

Tits really fucked up Tanah's development imo. Just like they screwed with Sexton and Fogarty. He's actually probably what they need right now given they have too many ball runners (Brimson, Kini, etc) and not enough game managers other than Foran who is on his last legs. Well done Des for giving us Erin and Tanah.

I don’t think he was, Metcalf just played what’s in front of him and had speed.
It’s good to have someone like Boyd control the game .

Just FANtastic! The tigs came to play alright. That early try was a gimme though, just MO.

Glad for Berry to score the 1st, his defensive read is brutal (in a good way.) So sad he's made of glass. Heal up, wired glass is what you need mate, a quick recovery to ya Rocco

You'll become one of Our Greatest Centres in NZ history, you'll see.

That Challenge was awful! I almost threw my jandal at the TV! Pfft.

Cool, Calm and Menacing "We have the greatest Fans in the World." - JFH. O.K, he didn't say that exactly but that's what 'I' heard haha!

Anyhow, sleep well All you NZWarriors.com'ers. And to All those fans up there that went to MSS... I envy you seen it live.

We gonna roll the ny-nites next week. Up the Wahs!

i hate to say it because i find his face to be A LOT. but in a few weeks i think tannah boyd makes this team far more rounded and i think possibly even better. goal kicking at 81% or whatever helps too.

CHT has had an absolute whale of a season so far, but depending on how things go id possibly even be happy with LM6/TB7

LM6 would be LMsad at that though i would say.

Bit tough marv, you’ve got hairless cats. Would have thought you’d see beauty in the strangest of places

Oh please spare me.
That conversation has been had many times over!

I wasn't doubting it was had.

I'm saying it's not worth having

Very good win.

I like the way our structures look already under Boyd. CHT looks a lot freer off that type of game where he doesn't have to do any of the organizational stuff.

You can see how Boyd will get through the line, he goes so deep that he is in a position to shoot straight through.

We have seen a lot of him in cup, so it was nice to see that same template directly transferred to the NRL instantly.

Wrighty · Jul 13, 2025

Our best game of the season. Boyd is an organising half who creates shapes and unlocks his outside backs. Plenty of try opportunities not executed as the outside backs were surprised to find themselves in space close to the line. They will execute next time.
Don't be fooled that was a good tigers side.

LM vs Boyd is only worth having because you can clearly see the strengths each brings which offsets the others weakness..

TMM v Boyd - I’d say they are one and the same except for the kicking game..

I’d love to see Boyd and TMM together at some stage to compare

Good win boys! I don't know why people are giving Nuikore shit? Maybe cos Kosi isn't there? Lol. I thought Nuikore ran hard and hit the gaps hard made good metres & tackled hard.

Geez, There's some discussions to be had about the merits of starting Leka ar centre and Taine to FB even when CNK is back.
And TMM is what we need off the bench with the Injuries we've had this year, He has done an awesome job filling in. Yes, healey is a special talent. Maybe to start. I'm starting to sway the way of Healey to start and Egan to cup! ? Don't come at me!

On the cans???

Time will tell, as consistency is the proof in the pudding here.

Mr Boyd has peaked my curiosity, but Im optimistic at this point.

Yeah Nah, Sharks game by a mile! We beat a team with 3 straight spoons & a dud coach!

I love your enthusiasm but Tigers were fairly poor I thought. They were worse than last week against the Roosters. I say they are a bottom four team and played like that tonight. I know we probably contributed to their poor handling but I think they are in trouble.
