Not the best news for NZ Warriors fans: Luke Metcalf is about to test his value on the open market. And for those in the know, the halfback’s value could be as great as ONE MILLION DOLLARS per season. Can the Wahs produce a paycheck like that, or does the Aussie return home… to the Dragons, the Perth Bears, or somewhere else?
Blairy & Goran talk through the factors a player in Metcalf’s position would weigh up, and then deliver their verdict: Will he stay or go?
And then of course there’s the Pacific Championships, where the Kiwis snuck past Samoa in a brutal encounter at Mt Smart. Casey McLean was enormous, and Joe Tapine was even bigger, but it wasn’t the perfect performance from New Zealand and assistant coach Blair tells us why.
And we look forward to Suncorp Stadium this weekend to see how the Samoans regroup ahead of another colossal clash against Tonga!
