The New Zealand Warriors are gearing up for an epic showdown against South Sydney in their upcoming New South Wales Cup clash, and all eyes are on Luke Metcalf as he makes his comeback to the field after a lengthy four-month hiatus.
This match is set to be a true test of Metcalf's skills as he takes on the role of halfback, stepping up to lead the team to victory.
The battle will take place at Bruce Pulman Park in Takanini, a venue that holds historical significance in the world of Rugby League.
The under-21 contest will kick off at 10.00am, setting the stage for the main event at 12.00pm.
It's a momentous occasion for Metcalf, who will be shouldering more responsibility on the field than ever before.
Having eased back into the game with a successful 40-minute stint last week, Metcalf is now ready to give it his all for the full 80 minutes on Sunday.
With the recent retirement of veteran halfback Shaun Johnson, the pressure is on for Metcalf to step up and prove himself wearing the coveted No 7 jersey.
As the Warriors prepare to take on South Sydney, fans can expect a thrilling display of skill, determination, and true Aussie grit.
It's a chance for Metcalf to show what he's made of and lead his team to victory in a game that is sure to go down in Rugby League history.
