Luke Metcalf has managed to surround himself with some of the top playmakers the NRL has seen this decade, and he's made sure to soak up every bit of knowledge he could from them along the way. Find out what 2023 could hold for him!
From being a kid at Manly when current Queensland star Daly Cherry-Evans and former NSW Blue Trent Hodkinson were calling the shots, to his time at the Sharks in which his mentors included Shaun Johnson, Chad Townsend, Matt Moylan and reigning Dally M Medal winner Nicho Hynes, the 23-year-old half has had some esteemed teachers.“Learning from Nicho and Moyza – the year Nicho had winning the Dally M, it was pretty good to learn off him – and Moyza the same, he has been around some good players.
“The way [Nicho] counts numbers and picks the right side of the ball more often than not, he gets his hands on the ball a lot, you saw him play like a six but he plays like a seven at the same time.Some of the stuff I have learned from them boys is pretty invaluable.“To come back here and still have Shauny [Johnson] and to learn off him, and also be able to talk to him about footy and bounce ideas off each other, it’s pretty cool.
At the Warriors this year, in addition to Johnson, Metcalf has a bunch of other people to lean on for advice when it comes to playing in the halves.
