Metcalf is a Cronulla junior so he would be keen to prove a point.If one of the Centre’s are out.
I would keep Elliott in the Centre’s and play metcaff at fullback.
Defensive commitment [ or adequate ] has previously seemed to be an issue for him . Bit injury prone but also hopefully a thing for the past for him .Metcalf is a Cronulla junior so he would be keen to prove a point.
To me, Metcalf is an inexperienced version of Dufty from Illawarra. Small, fast and dynamic with ball in hand but much better suited to being a halfback or five-eight than a fullback where he can be targeted with bombs and defence is critical.
Hoppa would be the solution, but injuries to date, are a major concern.I dunno, but it looks like we will need a quality fullback in the ranks for many years to come to cover for turbo. Has he ever played a full season to date?? He is so young and his hammys are already shot.. maybe a move to the centre's sooner than later might prolong his career
He's a Coffs Harbour junior who was in Ball or Matthews at the sharks (prob because of endeavour high school) before coming to manly, so I doubt he has any deep-seated love for the shire.Metcalf is a Cronulla junior so he would be keen to prove a point.
