Do we think defence will be the top consideration when it comes to our Metcalf replacement? If so, Boyd has not defended on the right edge at all in 2025 where as TMM has in 6 NSW Cup games and has also lined up next to Berry before. Many seem to think Boyd is a certainty, but apart from picking Tuaupiki over Kosi to begin the season, history shows he tends to go back to the players he's previously put faith in

Pretty sure that Boyd will have to come in as the 7 .
Why do you think that CHT won't supplement Boyd as he was doing with Metcalf.
Imo TMM hasn't been effective at 6.
He went missing last year when pairing with SJ
Was much better at 7.
For me, TMM and Boyd have been so good in NSW Cup and can replicate that in first grade.
I have watched most of the games.
They gave a knack doing the right thing and moving to each others side, sweeping around, changing sides, just click so well.

Good point there, but Chanel his been pivotal at 6 and really is building his game nicely this season he doesn't deserve to give up the position. Pleased we've dont have to make these tough calls, the recipe is there hopefully Webster can find the right one.

Agreed absolutely 💯
However NRL is a totally different story.
Been proven over and over again
Faster stronger and more skilled
 
Decent Reply John.
Consider this.
TB and TMM(both sound like diseases)have over 150 NRL games between them.
Potentially either could have started the season beside LM and done just has well as Chanel No 6.
Thing is though Webby won’t drop a player who has been pretty decent and consistent…unless he gives him the 14 jersey!
The biggest difference in stepping up to the next level is the speed of which everything happens
Believe me it's huge difference.

Trying to be a half glass full kinda guy.

Yes, we lose Metcalf whose been killing it this year. But with both him and CNK out for the next 4 weeks, and against the Tigers, Knights and Titans it looks like we'll be able to muck around with a few of our options.

If we go TMM at fb, Taine on the wing (I'm assuming DWZ still out) and bringing Healey on to the bench I can see these positives and negatives:

Positives:
Better goal kicker (Tannah)
Better general kicking (Tannah)
More ball playing from the back (TMM)
More energy off the bench from dummy half (Healey)
More spark from wing (Taine)

Negatives:
Less meters from the back (CNK)
Cohesion and consistency (CNK, Metcalf)
Halves x factor (Metcalf)
No bench utility (TMM)

Unfortunately, so far Dallin hasn't been at his peak so I really don't think we lose anything from what we've had when Dallin's been playing this year.
As long as our forwards gain parity or dominate from the front, I think we'll go well. Excited to see what we can create. There could be a silver lining in these injuries....
