... w- with the current group of players, knowing who the Warriors have lost for the season, does this team realistically have the potential to win a grand final, to win a prelim final at the end of the season? Do we have the stock?

Uh, yeah, we do.

Uh, as long as ...

The key for me in this team is Tuimati Martin, um, and always was [laughs] uh, in my opinion.

Um, he's the sort of guy that you can jump on ...

You know, you can jump on it with his momentum, and he's unpredictable.

Now when they get, uh, when they get, um, James Fisher-Harris back, that, that'll settle the team too.

What have you made of the, the NRL overall as a product?

Do you see his effect will still be the same? Have you seen enough in the last couple of weeks to suggest this is going to be fine, the transition's not a problem?

Yeah.

Look, he's a cool customer.

I've always liked him.

I thought when he played for North Queensland and led them to the grand final without Jonathan Thurston there, that showed the class of the man.

He can play.

in terms of playing against Penrith, he's, he's going to be in the same position as the other, as the other 16.

Luke Metcalf finds himself... on the reserves, do you see him coming in to the main team ahead of this game? Would you take that punt if you're a coach?
