“Surely he’s named next Tuesday vs raiders”

Any timeframe for him? 2 weeks?

Great to see him fit again, just hope they don't rush him back in and get re-injured. Would love to see him and SJ back for our finals run.

Watched a tic toc today of Luke in rehab.
I really don't know how he got back on the field, he was showing the physio how many plates and screws he had in his legs.
Really gone up in my estimation of him.

Unfortunately we haven't seen the best of Luke. Hopefully we can this coming year.
Played junior SOO

I see Luke’s partner is pregnant with baby - will he move closer to family in Australia?

That’s exactly the time when the pressure comes on. The woman wants family around to help with baby.

Hi Kos and merry Christmas.
Kiwis don't get the intense grounding that young Aussies get.
Very important factor with halves and 9s.
Webster is very aware of this.

That is true.
The club have put a lot into Luke with long rehab etc
Hope we get at least a two year return

If he was to get to his best we would be excited to see his ability.
Excitement Machine.
Surely he has exhausted his share of bad luck with injuries.
Played junior grade SOO as a youngster so obviously has the goods and been thru the system.

Should be a good test coming into next year. If his partner leaves to aus mid season then it's a good sign he'd be going. Otherwise them sticking around this season is a good sign that they are willing to stay long term. If there is any aussie that looks like he has intergrated with NZ (i have no evidence to back this up) it's metcalfe. So it'd be a good litmus test to see if any aussie who has new borns will stick around in auckland. Especially if he lands the position he has been asking for.

We have had quite a few Australians requesting to go home for family reasons. Each situation is different. A sick family member the best the club can do is try and give them time back in Australia.

Metcalf and his partner having a baby it will be difficult not having immediate family here. The hardest part is the first few years. Their parents will likely come across a fair bit. The best the club can do is try and get a support network around them. Maybe some of the other players partners.

It will always be easier to be near family. My partner and I have just got through it ourselves and sure family were closer than Australia but they still weren't in the immediate area.

These guys are lucky in that they are well paid and can decide to move and another club will likely pick them up.

Let's just hope they both enjoy it in Auckland and Metcalf feels his career is going well here. Fatherhood will soon make you more responsible. So having an extra mouth to feed could mean a more mature player.

I know it is a worry due to past players. Better to worry about it if a request comes. In the meantime congratulations to Metcalf and his partner.

Yeah it’s tough having a young one away from family- we were the only family in Aus with ours and you certainly notice it. However Metcalf is in a position that sees him in Aus every second week which is more than many see family so hopefully it’s manageable
