Those stats are insane.

Would have to be a massive U turn from everyone acknowledging TMM isnt wanted next year
He is a 5/8 in nsw cup. he plays a running game and leaves the game management/kicking to Boyd. Boyd runs the show (6th on average kick metres per game in the comp, whereas Martin is 37th(i guess when his kick accidently skews forward).
We all know how his nsw cup form has translated to first grade in the past when playing in the same exact position.
Just for shit and giggles, Morgan Harper is one of the top post contact metres per game in the NSW Comp. Anyone want him ahead of Kosi? And we all know how bad Kosi can be and essentially go forward is the only skillset he has as a winger.

4 Halves is excessive and it's the most likely reason he is unsigned. He's too good for reserve and he knows it but I also think he wants to stay in NZ rather than get a pay and say move to Super League. With Metcalf's injury he might get resigned now if Metcalf is going to be out for an entire year. Even if he's back say round 2 of next year, then you are banking on just Boyd and CHT unless they think Hanson is ready.
I'm excited to see how Boyd goes with the Warriors in the NRL. In his time here he has been very professional in waiting for his chance. It's unfortunate for Metcalf but this is the only way Boyd was going to have a shot. I have similar feelings about CNK and Tuaupiki coming in. They're both different to the players they are replacing, but theoretically they should still work with our gameplan, perhaps even more so.
Not sure what to do with TMM, he's a good player but the way he's being used isn't making much impact and seems more likely that he's mainly there in case of in game injuries. Almost wondering if he should play #7 in cup and be next in line in case something else bad happens. Doing that would allow more spark in #14 with Healy.

If Boyd consolidates and the start of next year is Boyd/CHT, makes sense for TMM to be first drop and play 7 at cup as others said, since we have Gannon taking up a spot and we probably have a packed Gannon/Ford/Leka/Demi bench, and you still have Barney to return.
Otherwise one of the starting halves go down in pre-season as usual for the last 3 times (Luke-SJ-Boyd) we're giving the keys to Hansen/Jett/Jye
Just use Luke's pre-injury upgrade money to cover part of TMM's salary for 2026. Unless they want to shift CHT to 7 and TT or one of juniors as 6 when injury hits, that looks more of a gamble than just extend TMM for a year.

Anyone go to the Members training today and see how the halves lined up? Or fullback?

I figure this is rhetorical, however as Benny Hill said, never assume....
Te Maire Martin is the more versatile player.
