Absolutely this. If Moylan is back keep Metcalf in the 14.

Can this bloke play in the centres? Or we would be wasting him there?

I suggested this the other day. He might be "wasted" but really his path to regular first grade is reasonably blocked unless he adapts
Fullback - We have Kennedy, and if Kennedy goes down we have options of Hynes, Tracey to go there. Metcalf an option.
Halves - He's behind Hynes, Moylan, Trindall
Bench utility - Tracey might take that spot, or maybe Watson if we sign him. Perhaps Brailey if McInnes starts at hooker.
He's fast as ****, can handle the defensive work, a better ball player than Tracey imo. So if we can make Tracey a centre, can't see why not giving Metcalf a go.

He is indeed fast as ****, but the other two things are highly debatable.

What time did he come on? Want to give him a closer look in his debut game

~66 minute mark.

He's got to be better than Chambers.
He'd need to be able to talk a continuous stream of **** for the full 80 to beat out Chambers

Enjoyable listen. He is a well spoken kid. I really hope we get a chance to see what he can do at some point in the halves. If he hadn't been tripped and went through to score he probably locks down a spot in the 17 for this week at least.

And this is the REALLY Sad part .
Rather than giving him experience and a red hot crack this season with injuries etc
We will probably get a loan player for four weeks and he'll disappear from the 17 all together
I really really dislike Hannay as a coach .

Perhaps coaching staff afraid to load him up with pressure playing 80 mins outside of another inexperienced half in Trindall .
But surely he's worth 20-30 mins in the second half when a minor reshuffle would facilitate that.
Especially when the halves on the field were struggling themselves

At least change it up.
Tracey hasn’t shown the promise in the halves as expected (but has been a great addition as part of our outside backs).
Our points were created by our Dummy half and fullback, so giving Metcalf a crack would have been a better option than sticking with something that wasn’t working at that point.
