I’m not so sure, Wrighty.
If he’s coming here, I want him to do a preseason. NSW cup for the rest of the year, failing injuries.

Strike centre or fullback version?
With our game plan of valuing metres from the fullback then the fullback version He will be the number one full back at making metres.

I do agree with you but I believe Luke went the wrong away about this... We'll see how this plays out... Nrl is a fickle game.
I would say if we have Manu in our cross hairs then
1) It would be us working the phone to St George offering Luke for 2026 and not vice versa
2) We could afford to give up Luke right now. We have TMM as our first drop back up and he is good enough to win NRL matches and Luke Hanson can be our 4th string option.

I was listening to Joey Johns today on Immortal Behaviour podcast and he talked a lot about the Warriors.
In his opinion he thinks Metcalf fully fit is better than Tanah even though Tanah is flying at the moment.
In finals football teams need to go up another gear and it takes one of the spine players to pull off that special play when it matters (is what he said).
That is my only concern, do we have that mercurial player in our spine who has that x-factor and can lift in the big moments (like Nathan Cleary and Reece Walsh have in the past few grand finals) because there is a big difference between the regular season and a prelim final. Maybe that could be Tanah or Healey. Metcalf when fit is probably that player.
I think we made the right choice with Tanah especially with the Rabbittohs chasing him (maybe the coaches would have wanted to wait a bit longer if not for that) but I hope Metcalf can get over not being the 7 and maybe be a part of the team later in the year. And if something happens to Tanah we will need Luke to be mentally all in and not offside with the rest of the players. I think long-term if Metcalf was willing to play 6 and put his all into it, him and Tanah would have killed it but that's life. Before this season started my long-term hope was for Luke at 6 and Jett at 7 but that would never have happened anyway with Luke not willing to play 6.
CHT has been impressive as well and deserves to keep his spot in the current team. He also offers something different.
