General The Boyd vs Metcalf debate

[roguei]

I’m honestly more intrigued by this than the stats… what’s he doing????

It was when we went to shark park last year and absolutely smashed them. Probably the best game we had that season by a mile. I think it was Healey's first game playing as a hooker for us.

Limited numbers, but a little bit of context here

Had to look it because of this. But damn my all time fav halves combo of SJ and Maloney had a awful win rate of 44.7%. Fuck 2012 was putrid.

I think Boyd's success has been based off him executing his role perfectly in Webby's highly structured game plan. He's clearly done his homework and is enjoying the rewards. This is true of the whole team really as everyone needs to be in the right place at the right time.

One thing that really cheeses my pizza with Boyd is his goal kicking. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! There will be games where we win or lose just because of his boot.

What surprises me is people are no longer shitting on CHT anymore. Have the masses finally woken up???

Im slightly leaning towards team Boyd.

Just think his stocky build is suited to the rigours of rugby league and less likely to get injured. Slightly younger too.

His running game/speed is underrated as well. He can move for a solid lil fella.
It's not Metcalf level fast. But he's got it.

Fix his goal kicking , And we have one hell of a player on our hands if he can keep his confidence in check, And not drop his head when things aren't going well for him.

He works better with CHT. Chanel likes structure. When he knows where he is supposed to be every play. Boyd is Webbys dream. Sticks to his game plans.
Metcalf more off the cuff, Taking opportunities as he sees them. Which, for someone like Chanel, Can throw off his concentration.

Mets can also loiter and look lost when the game goes awry.

Metcalf has a ton of talent. Boyd has work ethic, Heart and drive. His form from last year to this year is world's apart. He has taken this opportunity with both hands and is owning the 7 jersey.

Its now up to Luke to put his head down and wait for his opportunity to come. That's if he wants to stay.

He’ll learn a lot off of Nathan Cleary

How far down the pecking order is Boyd for a SOO call up?


Dearden is the incumbent but who do they have otherwise? DCE is old. Jayden Campbell maybe?

Boyd is a confidence player. Imagine what a SOO call up would do for him. Next level unlocked.

Shut the gates. It’s not even a fair debate

We should seriously consider loaning Luke to idk Melbourne or the dragons.
Guy could play 7 , albeit in a shit team. We'd still keep him too.

Wasn't Boyd born in NSW?

In both camps. I think Boyds was unfairly criticised last year, and same is happening with Metcalf this year. I dont believe we need to be tribal and have to choose one over the other so we can shit on the other player. Both bring unique skillset to the team, and both do make a case to be the 7. But for right now Boyd should not be dropped for Metcalf. Its just as simple as that.

As warriors fans, we should probably be hoping that we have all 3 of Boyd, CHT, Metcalf at the Warriors this and next year. It makes out halves position stronger and theres no doubt that all can play a big part in how we perform.

I am all for all 3 on the condition they are not giving each other dirty looks, polygamy is unhealthy
