This Saturday Luke Metcalf will end an 18-month wait to play his first NRL game as a Warrior.
"It does feel like it's been a long time coming," Metcalf told NRL.com ahead of his club debut against the Broncos in Napier.
"I felt really good in the Tigers [Pre-season Challenge] game... but it didn't go to plan after that.I had to wait until I was 22 to finally debut in the NRL, so I feel like I am pretty patient, and I have had injuries in the past to deal with too.Given his previous hamstring issues, the Warriors took a conservative approach with Metcalf's return to action, easing him back into full team training a fortnight before giving him a 40-minute cameo in the NSW Cup earlier this month.
