NRL: The Storm have stolen a shock victory over the Warriors after a Xavier Coates four-pointer that was dubbed 'the best try I've ever seen' by Mick Ennis.
The Warriors have sured up their Shaun Johnson succession plan by signing boom five-eighth Luke Metcalf to a contract extension.
Confirmation of the 25-year-old’s new deal comes after his 21st NRL appearance in Saturday night’s dramatic round two clash against Melbourne at AAMI Park.“We identified Luke a long time ago as a player of tremendous potential,” said New Zealand Warriors general manager recruitment, pathways and development Andrew McFadden.
After making just seven appearances for the Sharks across the 2021 and 2022 seasons, Metcalf joined the New Zealand Warriors for the 2023 campaign when he scored six tries in 12 games; he has started each of the club’s first two matches this season.“I’m really excited to extend. I don’t see myself going anywhere else,” Metcalf said.
