Boyd/CHT all day until one of them get injured, Luke needs to focus on getting his body and form back first. Will be terrible if Webby dumps one of the halves and we go to crap again, the blow torch will always be directed at Luke. don’t need to risk it proactively like the last 2 weeks, we will see what Luke can do when injuries happen and he won’t be blamed if we are clunky
 
If we take a step back, I think most of us thought we would be in quicksand early on in the season due to no mets or Barney and our hard start to the year with the chooks, Canberra, Melbourne and Cronulla. So to be 4-2 and having won 3 of those 4 tough games is a really solid place to be in. Especially given what we have coming up.

Coming up are Tits (H), Phins (H), Parra (A) before we head into our first bye and magic round vs Broncos. All winnable games. We can really set ourselves up like we did last year to have another crack at the 4.
 
Coaching staff is where he should be looking I reckon. When you look at the great assistant coaches at storm that have become head coaches over the years, perhaps Bellamy’s son isn’t having the desired effect
I think it's the churn in the squad finally catching up with them.

You couldn't plan for Pap, NAS and Katoa to not be around in 2026.

Going to be an interesting year for them.
 
Metcalf is super talented, but it is doubtful if his legs are up for an extended run in the NRL. It's would be a huge call to mess with Tannah's confidence by dropping him for an injury prone Metcalf. I think Metcalf should be told that he needs 6 weeks of NSW cup when back to prove his fitness, by then we will have a clear picture of when TB is at.
There is no way I'm bringing Metcalf back in if CHT and Boyd are playing the way they have in all 4 wins.
