Luke Metcalfe ....

[Woodsie]

From the Sunday Telegraph.

"The bitter rivalry between Manly and Cronulla continues. This time over one of the hottest young prospects in the game.

The Sea Eagles have stolen NSW u/18 half Luke Metcalfe, a Cronulla jnr.

The youngster is seen as a long term replacememt for DCE"

 

[Holmsey]

Great stuff, hopefully kicks on.

I hope he's patient.

Stolen?

 

[Woodsie]

Stolen?

The article says that Cronulla are pinning their hopes on Shane Flannagans son.

 

[Woodsie]

I hope he's patient.

Agree ... but remember DCE is 28, and unlike a game manager or link type of half, his powers will diminish when his ability to take on the line diminishes. So give him til he is .. say 31/2 ... that will be when young Luke is 20/21.

The timing could work out

Or he could be replacing green when his contract is up and play five eight for us, just an idea

Stolen?

I am a bit slow this morning Budgie ... (stolen) .. I just got your point.

Yeah, if Manly does anything, throw in a negative or derogatory term to ADD perspective.

Maybe, but from the wording I think it is hinting at a longer term plan.

Stolen?

Ah yes, that's "sports journo" code for Manly legally signed someone like the other 15 clubs consistently do.


edit: when I say the other clubs legally sign players...there's a few clubs in mind that make me lol when I typed it.

On a different note; I wonder how the broncos, parra, storm, roosters are doing today.....legally wondering of course.

Metcalf played in nsw v qld u16s and 18s. He scored three trys in the u18s game earlier this year and got man of the match. Could be a star in the future

That's a bit of a worry. If manly has stolen him we can expect a response from the police. Taking a human being is a reprehensible act, long outlawed.

Does anyone know if the kid is being kept in chains in some secret location?

Maybe this is what they were investigating.

However, an independent tribunal may conclude that removing a child from a drug addled bogan environment of mediocrity was in fact a "rescue" and custody given to Manly.

I'm calling bull****. No youtube video no deal

I hope he isn't aboriginal otherwise we could be in trouble

Sounds like human trafficking will be added to our growing rap sheet.

 

[Smokin Joe]

These were the wraps on Cust 2 years ago and he was a star for Manly and NSW at Ball level and he is going okay at U20's this year but not starring,good pick up and hope he becomes a star.....but at least they are looking at guys to succeed instead of putting all faith in DCE to be there always.

Stolen?

Witnesses say a large black van rolled up outside of shark park just as young Metcalf was leaving training. Two men, one dressed as a clown with a large red nose grabbed the NRL 'star', threw him into the van and was outta there quicker than DCE out of a Titans contract.
