And why should it change.
Up until today things were going well.
Putting TMM to 6 or 7 or even 1 wouldn't have changed the result regardless of how much you think
General Is the Metcalf experience to halves over?

Don’t think he played any better or worse than his last 3 outings when we won so clearly the loss is a subconscious bias against him.
Although losing the ball in the red zone at the start was all him……
Oh nah you're preaching to the choir here. I'll back him pretty heavily as I think this is a building year and he is a rookie through and through via NRL games played. So I think he'll be a great half. Plays like early Hughes and is hopefully just like him and fogerty, bearly played any NRL games until they got older then kicked on after a while. (Fogerty only played his 100th yesterday and he's 31 or 32). I also think the mistake was bad but a good sign. Risky run first play that nearly got a try, I think every half in the game makes a mistake like that in a game.

This is the point. It's how is his performance. No one is saying the Storm loss is all on him, likewise that the previous wins are all on him. Many think that as a seven he isn't cutting it so far which is probably a fair summation at the moment
He is the best halfback at the club.
Giving old mate TMM the gig to be the invisible man, and then him later announcing he is going to leave for SL a few weeks later would be the most warrior thing to do.

My understanding is that Metcalf went to/said to/in his post season meeting said/indicated to Webster he wanted to be a 7.
At that point Webster had no ability to say no or he risked Metcalf going back to Australia soon.
We have Metcalf at 7 either
a) Until Metcalf changes his mind
b) Our losing record is horrendous and the change screams out so much to be made that Luke accepts being made a 6.

Bro they aren’t re-signing him, let it go. I’ve given up on Ale at 13, you can give up on this.

Metcalfe’s an average 7 and better at 6. He’s a decent kicker
We have no choice at the moment but to persevere and hope, with good mentoring, he can be a better than average 7. He can be the crappest 7 in the comp, but if we are in the 8, he can stay

We have Stacey Jones working with him. And Stacey in his day did not play how Metcalf is playing. Jones dug deep into the line and played at pace. He was superb. Metcalf has his own ideas or simply isn't listening. Or a third explanation he is confused as he is so new. Let's hope it is that one.
27 next year. Some want to wait till he's 34 to come right lol.
See out this year. If he's still mud. Later bo.

Which is what I said.More chance of Boyd playing 7
Fuckin hell what a difference a week makes.

We won those games off the back of Egan's creativity & CHT's hard work. CHT doesn't have the skills or speed of Metcalf. But he makes up for it with determination.
And yes, We probably lose them if Metcalf isn't there to convert those tries. We are giving to much credit to Metcalf and not enough to Chanel & Egan
