It's the news no Warriors fan wanted to hear:  Luke Metcalf’s season is OVER.  Has his ruptured ACL also dashed the NZ Warriors’ hopes of a Grand Final appearance?  And who takes the #7 jersey in his absence?  These are the two HUGE questions Blairy & Goran hope to provide answers to!


The halfback battle looks to be a straight shootout between Te Maire Martin and Tanah Boyd.  But what are the factors at play causing possible confusion for Andrew Webster?  We weigh up the pros and cons.


By comparison, Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad’s injury news was so much better than Luke Metcalf’s - he’ll only miss TWO matches.  But he joins Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Ali Leiataua in the casualty ward all the same.  So the boys look at a possible backline for the short term: where and how does Taine Tuaupiki fit into it?


Blairy & Goran also try to find the silver lining to Luke’s injury, talk about Ed Kosi’s efforts against the Broncos, and have another crack at Betcha This Happens for Round 18.  Get well soon Luke!
