Official Signings, Transfers & Recruitment Discussion 2026

Bit slow mate. I posted this at approximately 1.13pm today 😎
I appreciate the clarifying detail, although not that helpful as I am in a different timezone to you.

You posted it 8.13am my time so to be 1.13pm for you, how’s New Zealand?

Ahh. That explains why @Gumby's rumours are nearly always correct - he manipulates time zones so he's always ahead of everyone else!
 
God I hope so 🤞
Wouldn't actually be the worst idea for them. Metcalf has proven he can play. Just keeps getting injured.

A spine of

1. Drinkwater
6. Atkinson
7. Metcalf
9. Liddle

Is actually pretty solid. Young Reed can continue to develop and fill in for whenever Metcalf/Atko get injured.

$1m for him would be ridiculous, I hope they do it.
 
Metcalf doesn’t sit still long if he is not right where he wants to be. He is hardly in any position to be expecting to just walk back into the #7. Warriors are flying and he can’t stay on the paddock – he didn’t even finish his comeback game without injury. If he was half as reliable as he seems entitled he might be in a better place.

Has only played 43 NRL games, never more than 15 in a season. You'd have to be stupid to pay big money for him.

Thing is, he arguably earnt the right to walk back in with how well he performed last season.
And they let him, and the team performed worse as a result.

I can understand him being a bit impatient too, if I was him knowing my ACLs can blow out any moment I wouldn't wanna be wasting previous steps in Cup either. Just means he can' be choosy and is lucky he was good enough last season to generate some demand.

Not playing Reed is a sackable offence though!

Agreed, but its the dragons lol
Metcalf is currently on 700k a season at the Wahs.

If Dragons offered him the 7 jersey and 800k he would be there in a flash I reckon. That's if his discussions with the Wahs go pear shaped.
