Shocking photo of Harry, looks mid 30’s. Like he was winning wrestles at the Crusaders, though how would stack up at CKB?

Jye Linnaine could be the dark horse of our halves stocks. The club were not put off by two ACL injuries and he moved to Auckland to get a head start on pre season recovery.
It will be interesting to watch his development in Cup.

Or go straight to BRL.

He might skip cup and straight to first grade.

Good news re the Union lad.

Dunno why Cappy cops some on here, this is an amazing bit of horse trading.

Don't mistake me for saying inch will be the next thing, rather I make the point that getting a Union lad on the up in a play making role from under the strongest province in the country is pretty sweet.

No matter the outcome, today League won a battle.

Boyd is not the answer, if Metcalf is outta here we better have something up our sleave that isn’t called TMM, Boyd or Hanson. Real kick in the guts if Mets goes. Halves market is dry as fuck

Yeah its really a hope that the other guys they took a punt on (Jye or Inch) are good, but it does pretty much make it next year a premiership or we are looking at another 3-4 years.

Overall Mets leaving sucks and is a set back on the chances of winning from now to end of the 2020s

A quote from the Foxsports article about Metcalf hitting the open market:

"The Warriors are the favourites to sign Metcalf after tabling a two-year extension, with a host of his teammates on hand at his wedding in New Zealand last weekend."

Manly forum saying it was on sen today that they are interested in Sam Healey. Seems like he’s got a lot of interest, have seen his name mentioned in multiple places

Just a thought on the Metcalf rumours. In my experience, when you you sign up to go somewhere else for a gig you discuss it with your partner and family then make the call like, we will do this for 3 or 5 or 10 years and then quit to either retire or move to another place. The partner and family are usually the driving force and the old adage of happy wife, happy life is still true today. AFB was a good example of it not being happy.
Interestingly, having been to Bali for a few family weddings, getting married in Queenstown is a big high 5 to the club and to NZ especially with a lot of his team mates there.
I'm picking he stays

I guess when you consider it, he’s had to go about it this way to get top dollar because he’ll be 30 by the end of the contract if he hangs around

I understand him wanting to go to November 1. But the fact is that only a minority of players choose to stay when they do so.

he couldn't hold down a centre spot in Cup this year, seemed to be transitioning to second row in Flegg too.

He only returned from an ACL injury in late April then got a 4 week ban for biting the following week. Was never a legit NSW Cup starter contender with MGT & Harper having largely injury free seasons

I think Healey leaving is a higher probability that Metcalf leaving because Egan is in front of him.

That concerns me greatly. If I had to pick out of Egan and Healey I would go Healey. He is going to get better and better, and I would hate for that to be at another club.

Healey is not going to sit behind Egan forever and I hope when the time comes, Webby does not base the decision on staying loyal and being conservative but goes for the guy who is the best for us long-term. That decision is coming 100%, there is no way to avoid it.

It's a bit hysterical around here.

Any half decent playmaker is going to have a multitude of conjecture written about them in NRL gossip mags, on chat shows and by forumers fishing on other sites when their contract is near the end of a term.

Gossip sells, it is the goal of the media to produce clickbait these days. Pundits on rival shows are the same, and often have ulterior motives. Like us, other forumers are hopeful of signing news and enjoy daydreaming. Shit, Kalyn Ponga has been headed to every other club every month for the last 5 years! Some were convinced Cleary was heading for super league

The only things we have heard directly out of either Metcalf or the Warrior's mouths has been nothing but positive and future forward for the club. Regardless of what happens, I think we can be sure both parties will treat each other with respect because we have two camps that seem that way inclined. I for one, am feeling very confident he'll re-sign.

And Healey is well suited to a bench hooker and seems to be in a good position going into 2026 with the Warriors.

I still like reading these recruitment rumours though, even if we are making them up.

No shit, Webby’d been doing him dirty. He’s already better than Egan and he’s origin material

Would you give them Healey to get Tolu Koula here?
