What do you mean, Capewell probs not going to play so we need to replace him.
If you move Barnett to edge and replace with Ale, then you still need someone on the bench.
Then we have Egan problem. Most likely to replaced with CHT on the bench imo.

Hmmm, TMM at fullback is a interesting option that grabbed my attention. A third ball player(Four if you include Metcalf the road runner. Egan if fit, and SJ) Which would allow Metcalf to be a support runner for our ball playing forwards to run off of.
Or CHT at 6 for his superior defense vs a large & Powerful Storm squad. CHT is a good ball player & has a nice short kicking game.
If we're not playing Ale, I'd have Laban to start & Ford to the bench. Tohu to Prop when addin comes off.
Our utility bench player is hard. It's the storm! Roache would be nice. But walker could relinquish his backrow spot & have the utility/hooker spot since he can play several positions 6/9 /backrow/center. And bring in one of Ale /Stowers - Smith / Kalani Going.

I'd be happy to keep Metcalf if he didn't miss tackles with some lazy efforts - throw the arm out bs.
He was already non existent on attack apart from the one awesome run when he scored. The storm will be ruthless and single him out. CHT would be better suited for this game. Not giving up on Metcalf. Just want CHT for his defensive prowess and better ball playing ability over Metcalfs speed. He can come back next week lol.

I read from posts in here that it no longer matters. Poasa Faamausili started for the Dogs yesterday despite being on a development deal, which in itself is weird considering he's 28 year old & at his NRL fifth club

Would they have asked for or needed dispensation.

Yes mate
We true Warriors supporters should be proud of our guys even when losingMight have been the case but Liam Knight, Zane Tetevano & Chris Patolo all are middles and played NSW Cup yesterday so I'm guessing the fella who stated in here that there's more flexibility with eligibility is on the moneyWould they have asked for or needed dispensation.

Pompey is decent on both sides of the ball.
Both him and Montoya copped all sorts of shit last season on both sides of the ball due to what Ford/Metcalf were failing to do on the inside.

Great example is the game on now.
That try by Taulangi was from players running deep and wide.
We aren't doing that.

Totally agree. Pompey played every minute of every game last season. Can play both left and right side, and he did through the season. Him and Montoya looked frustrated as hell towards the end of the season with the lack of quality ball they were getting. RTS looked good in the trial with CHT on the inside. The only thing that's changed is Metcalf is there now - apparently above criticism of his obvious issues. Or you have to be a 'true fan' and ignore them - despite criticising other players
It's ok though mate. RTS and Montoya just need to play deeper and wider. If they go any further deeper and wider next week they'll be running around on the MCG while the rest of the team are at AAMI park. Gives Metcalf's passes time to bounce two or three times before they get to him I guess. I hope someone gives him a map of AAMI so he can find his way playing 6.
Maybe RTS and Montoya can wear some Scooby Doo costumes and then they can figure out who the ghost was on Friday night with the warriors 6 jersey in the second half and the mystery of why we had the lowest % of our trys created on the left edge in the league last year.
Metcalf is a good back up 6. No more, no less. He is showing all the same things as he did last year but they are exacerbated currently, he isn't playing bottom 8 teams at the moment. He needs to improve rapidly in the next few weeks or changes will have to be made -TMM or CHT. SJ needs a halves partner who can be a secondary playmaker and I'm afraid we are very little chance of challenging this year without opening up our left edge.
I don't want to have to resort to 'keep da Faith' as some seem to be suggesting. That shit can stay on Facebook where it belongs.

I just want the left edge to be unlocked so we can be a real threat in 2024, as you can't win it all without two functioning edges.
Wether that is Metcalf, CHT, or Martin I honestly don't care as long as it happens.
I've watched the replay and i'm still not seeing what others are seeing. It all seemed very reminiscent of what I saw in 2023.
I haven't said I want him dropped either, I want him to succeed. But I don't think he should have a mortgage on that six jersey this season from what I saw.

Pity the game isn't played on a keyboard.

Funny thing is Webster and the coaching staff see it the same way I do, maybe they should hire you as a consultant
