Should have we seen this coming?

A halves dilemma at the New Zealand Warriors appears poised to become a problem with Luke Metcalf's management reportedly seeking a meeting with the club over its long-term plans when it comes to Lukey Metcalf.

He finds himself in a situation where he's stuck behind Tanner Boyd at the moment, or that's at least what the management are saying.

What do you think the Warriors should do?

That's interesting.

I didn't know that.

Yeah, this is new.

So is that the rumours that his manager is...

seeking either, what, more money or wants a release?

Well, I had a chat to Manoa about it this morning and it very much seems like maybe the first.

It seems like a management move at this stage to, you know, he knows that halves are a fairly lucrative topic.

When's he signed till the end of 28?

I don't know, unfortunately.

Yeah.

That's all.

What annoys me about this is the league players and their penchant for just not following their contracts through and putting themselves out there.

Because I'm pretty sure he's signed up pretty long term.

And he's going to leave with compassionate grounds again.

He's...

But he's, like, got something else.
