In a thrilling turn of events, Luke Metcalf, the halfback for New Zealand Warriors, has taken the lead in the Dally M standings. This marks his fourth six-point haul of the season, placing him at an impressive 30 points. Metcalf's exceptional performance has put him ahead of Sharks’ fullback Will Kennedy by a single point.
The Warriors' recent victory over the Dolphins at Suncorp Stadium, with a tight score of 16-12, was a testament to Metcalf's influential role on the team. His performance also earned him six points in the wins against Manly Warringah, Newcastle, and North QLD Morons. Recognized for his solid defence and strong kicking game, Metcalf masterfully managed the match against the Dolphins. His contribution was underscored by the exceptional try he set up for centre Kurt Capewell and his successful conversion of two of the Warriors' three tries.
Match Highlights: A Continued Strong Defence
The Warriors' defence proved key in securing their fifth consecutive win, bringing their start to the season to an impressive 8-2. This tense finish against the Dolphins once again demonstrated the Warriors' strength and determination, further solidifying their position in the competition.
However, Metcalf wasn't the only Warrior making waves. While he snagged six points, the remaining six were distributed amongst his teammates. Mitchell Barnett, Erin Clark, Wayde Egan, and Marata Niukore all shared in the points. Clark, with his two points, brought his total up to 13. He showcased his skills with 147 metres from 14 runs, six tackle breaks, and 41 tackles in the 72 minutes he played.
Origin-bound co-captain Barnett also added two points to his account, bringing his total to 12. Barnett made 162 metres from 16 carries and completed 33 tackles in 63 minutes. Egan and Niukore were each awarded one point.
