“He’s upset right now but the way he has handled himself this week has been unbelievable. “I haven’t seen a player go through an ACL and reconnect with a team so quickly. Tanah has been at training sessions, he has been in our meetings, given his opinion and told Te Maire (Martin) if he needs any reps he’ll help, not physical because he can’t. but mental reps.

I could already see a Face to Face episode with him post retirement, that's probably too small, his storyline is gold for a Netflix movie.
AUS schoolboy star playmaker, the next Alfie Langer, goes to waste in GC for years, given a lifeline in AKL, stuck in Cup, finally gets the call when Mets ruptured his ACL at Suncorp, team starts losing, meltdown in Newcastle before ending with a miracle try.
New season - plays out of his skin to become a top 2 halfback, the marquee he replaced can't get back in, hates the new plan, throws a tantrum and quits, Tannah signs a big new deal, on the cusp of a Queensland call up, returns to Suncorp, in front of parents, ruptures his ACL, walks off the field like a warrior.
The movie needs to end with him winning a premiership to complete the fairytale

Well done Warriors also for circling the Wagons and doing this thing properly.
By being patient they ensured that Tanah's moment was his own and not being dragged into a Metcalf scenario.
Also, I find it very interesting when Cappy speaks. He is of course once removed from the player coach marriage, yet he is a Coach in all but title.
The Warriors use him sparingly as a public face (probably McFadden's own preference) and in part due to the media not understanding the extent to which McFadden is the power behind the throne.
I have read McFadden reveals long enough to see the framework and where he sits, he is an expert that gets the bigger say in how we build teams in the same fashion of other Pro sports mega franchises around the world. He is Brad Pit and Jonah Hill in our team, Webster is Phillip S Hoffman in our Moneyball operation.
This of course is just a function of a well run organization that trusts and listens to its experts, more importantly lets them act independently of the coaching arm which has enough to be going on with and will be driving the asking "We need more of X....find it Cappy....I am liking player A) or that type of athlete.
And indeed this doesn't work if Webster is doing Cappy's role by asking for people that don't fit the cap nor the pathways plan (this part of a salary cap is really important and tricky, in the past the club has lost some of its best juniors or overinflated their worth at the cost of Fg options). These day's the junior pathways are clean, there is a clear direct rout to NRL, the best juniors get kept, more are recruited as others who are good, but surplus to requirements get traded out.
McFadden is extremely active in the Australian juniors market and in doing so he has removed the barrier that comes later when these kids have Australian club options and the Warriors are the furthest thing from their minds.
When planning an approach to Boyd, McFadden is the one that would say 'we can have him at this price - otherwise I'm putting forward or getting another player externally".
Cappy was the one that went out and Sourced Ford of course, after all the home runs Cappy has been hitting, Webster won't even think about other players unless Cappy say's lets go - and for that alone....Webster will sleep better at night, and last longer as a head coach.

Keep him in the system and he may be suited to a coaching role post career. He seems to be professional, intelligent, a good communicator etc.
I get the feeling that Boyd and Martin formed a pretty good connection in cup.
The way he doesn't show emotion or shout with flailing arms and the like really suits this young team.
He has the right temperament.

While we were dumbfounded or flailing our arms watching it unfold, he walked off the field like an adult keeping it together

Boyd has also seen it up close with his partner doing her ACL a few years back in AFL, so that will be a big support outside the walls of the club as well.
I'm assuming this is his first major injury? From what I've heard players say, getting injured again after going through all the rehab and recovery is even harder to deal with, so mental strength is definitely dealt a bigger blow second/third time around.
