To be fair JFH tends to do that in a lot of pressers I have seen, he is a fidgeter. I'm not personally reading into that particular moment as meaning too much.

And even if it did coincide with what was being said, it could have been the awkwardness of the situation that caused his reaction rather than a sign of discontent.

The brilliant thing about this club is that everything is so in-house that fan theories are pure conjecture.

I think everything will become a lot clearer in the Panthers game week. I'd expect to see Luke on a Warriors team sheet.
While I expect Metcalf to come into first grade soon I really don't think it will be against Penrith
 
I don't mind if Luke plays for us again. Apparently we can't win a comp without him?

I mean, We've got this far without him this season off the back of a mean as fuck forward pack, a poet and a discarded titans nsw cup player.

What would make me more happy, Is if we made , Possibly won a grandfinal with TMM at the helm. As no one thinks we can do it with him at 7.

I don't get the TMM's proven to fail at the business end of the season at 7 lol. WTF when did he start at 7 in a playoff game? The only time he played 7 was 15min last year giving Leka 2 chances to score in the open, and he messed up both, coincidentally Leka owned the big moments in the regular season and choked in the playoffs, understandable for the first series but regular season is not an indicator of how you'll cope in your first knock out games
 
Seriously underrated player. He’s become much more physical in his defence, came off second best against Galvin last year trying to put a shot on in the wet but so skilful in what he does. That try for DWZ with him stumbling to still find the pass directly without needing to reach created that try

When he passed it Kosi flashed my mind and thank goodness Dallin appeared to save the day
 
This is a tough one. When it comes down to it TMM is not a 7 and in my opinion (not stating a fact) he is not good enough when it comes down to the business end of the season. And that has been proven in the past.

A lot of people jump on the hype train after one game. Let's see how he goes over the next 4-5 games and make a judgement then.

His lack of a long kicking game is his biggest downfall. CHT can make up for it somewhat but not enough. Wait till we are playing a game in the pouring rain and cold when territory becomes more important and see how that goes. Our halves are very lucky to be playing behind the pack we have.

TMM is a 6 plain and simple. I think the wheels will fall off at some point with him at 7. I hope Metcalf can get over himself and prove he deserves to be our 7 as that is the only way we are winning a premiership this year. I 100% hope I am wrong but that is just what I think.

I see him as a super sub in a full strength team and I would prefer we focus on the gun halves we have coming through the grades in the next couple of years.
TMM gets another opportunity this week. If he plays well, we gel and we win, he will get the ultimate test against the panthers.

Met is in the queue. Up until 2 weeks ago he was next man up. Now, as it has turned out, TMM took his chance. Any until that no longer works, Mets needs to earn that jersey back wherever the coaching staff play him.

Team first mate. Personally I think the club is handling it well. TMM is all about the team. Connection and cohesion will win us a title - sum of the parts is greater than the individual

The Wahs only succeed together operating as one unit. Last week was an example of it.

I don't really think it matters whom we have at half tbh bro. Our pack has been setting the benchmark in this competition and its made our halves jobs a lot easier.

Egan & Clark are like having extra halves. Fish, Barney & Ford are tough, uncompromising props with huge engines. Capes is the glue , Leka the spark. Vaimauga the impact & Laban the energy.

We've got Fatialofa, TSS, EIT, Another forward that has ball playing ability in Gannon , That can slot in and do a job for us.

It is nice to have Mets available this year tho. But I would probably shed a bit of tear if we did it with Temaire, After all he's been through.
