I’d add Tohu to that. Special player

Yeah I had to draw a line somewhere or I'm starting to add your DWZs or CNKs and the like lol all exceptional players but.
When you step back and look at the leadership and experience, we’ve got a special squad. Really excited for what’s ahead.
Yeah they're going to be going hard for the next 2 or 3 years for the trophy.
Imo SJ will go again. AFB will be a big loss but I'm sure there's contingency. CHT might be earmarked for SJ or TMM or even Walkers role I'm the future. Depending on who sticks around out of Lussick , Taine and Metcalfe there's replacements there too. I'm sure by 2025 some of these guys will be starting first graders.
Agree regarding SJ unless they won it this year or he picked up a serious injury, I think he’d give it away if either of those occurred. With him in last year’s form, I see the window open as long as he’s there. AFB is a huge loss but I think they’ll be smart enough to use that cap to our advantage.

Really nice montage with the right song chosen, the our house banner gives ya chills the way it appears as the song hits the good chords.
Loved it.
Funny thing is watching his highlights were he not a Warrior, most would be excited if he was a new import we had signed.
Walsh and CHT had a good little pairing going, it would be interesting to see what CHT and Metcalf could do in the same back line. Hopefully we do not see that though, that would mean Princess is out.

The more I have been looking at his clips and his stats, I think his signing has flown under the radar and that he is a big get for next year.
I forgot about how CHT and Walsh started to really gel together. Feeling a liitle excited about CHT now!
Definaty has a kicking game.
Maybe we don't need volkmann because CHT is the next 7?
He left the game a good player that is for sure, he was coming along for the Warriors and played that fantastic send off in an international star studded team.
Will be VERY interesting to see what Webster does with him since originally he was signed as possibly an SJ replacement (no way of knowing the weighting of that statement in the minds of the Coach other than the facts from the outside, i.e SJ was not going to be extended and CHT was signed).
Well at least the commentators won’t keep calling him reece walsh this time round.
They all look the same bro.....

Yep that aligns with what I’d have guessed and Metcalf remains my pick. I think he’s got plenty of upside in terms of kicking game, maybe passing game and I’m sure defence to work on.
I think his speed and x-factor have opposition teams considering him as a threat and hang on him accordingly, creating space elsewhere in the line that can be leveraged using a quick short passing game.
Anyway - Metcalf for me

Only problem is all his best highlights in that clip turned out to be Reece. I expect him to go next level this year without that other little shit stealing his limelight.

‘Involvement’ is probably a bit generous, as first receiver he SHOULD be getting the ball. In terms of the 7 tries in that clip I’d only credit 2 that were a direct result of his involvement.
1 Manly collision resulted in a error- luck
2 Was a Nikorima short ball to put Katoa in a gap
3 Was Hiku drawing and committing 2 defenders and getting a ball away
4 no CHT involvement
5 Yes great Grubber from CHT to Katoa
6 Yes CHT put up a contested kick which we scored off
7 Nikorima short ball put KEIGHRAN into space.
Good to see CHT with some involvement but his halves partner arguably outplayed him- and we are talking Nikorima here
