Maybe he's been told TT is the man and now he's just focusing on rehab instead rushing back

I think it's the same as others play cup get some runs in the legs and prove you deserve to be in the top side, I For one think it's great.

 

[WAH MAN]

Surely Metcalf doesn't need practice at 7? Right?

No idea really. Perhaps it's just getting him time on the paddock as in "reps" as Webbo says

I think so too. It must have been a mongrel of an injury. Mind you a neck injury is pretty full on

Warriors got a lot of love again on NRL360 tonight.

It's interesting. I think alot of us missed why the Dargs game was important.

In years past, we've gotten to a point in the year where we're called 'the real deal', only to immediately fall over and shit ourselves.

This was that game for us.

Shithole stadium (allegedly).
Crap weather.
Tough crowd.
Backing up from a high energy win.
Versing a desperate team that we should be clear favourites over.

Only, the boys didn't take the game for granted. They pummeled them.

This is a good team, boys. Professional and powerful.

This could very well be, the real deal.

Taking the cold blooded approach to every game is the way

Jack Cole will remember being folded by Pompey two years ago. That and the meme that became his on field vomit incident.

Metcalf will likely play in 7 this week. I can see TMM dropping to bench covering a raft of backline positions while in Cup Rocco isn’t named yet. Likely means Hanson will drop off and go to 6 in Cup and Rocco into Centre.

yeah, think this likely too ... anyone can come into the cup side even if not named, they'll put Berry in at centre if he's ready, maybe move linnane back to 6 as they did last week and then work out what to do with the named players in ist grade once there's a steer from origin back ups on teh panthers side

It'd be a strange move to name Metcalf in NSW Cup if the plan is to play him in first grade. It'd be even stranger given we've been told he didn't have enough reps to even be on the bench for the Dragons game but is now fit enough to start against the comp favourites...

I think he'll play in NSW Cup, especially with the bye coming up.
