Warriors' Metcalf and Berry Return Despite Loss

Metcalf, Berry complete successful comebacks

Halfback Luke Metcalf and centre Rocco Berry successfully returned to play during the NZ Warriors' round 13 New South Wales Cup match against Penrith.

Despite the Warriors suffering a 20-30 defeat, both players emerged from the game uninjured.

Metcalf, 27, made his first appearance since he was sidelined with a hamstring injury in round five against Cronulla Sutherland.

Berry, 25, returned after a shoulder injury limited him to just five minutes in the Warriors' last game against Manly Warringah last September.

The match proved challenging for the duo, as the Warriors faced an 0-18 deficit at halftime, which expanded to 0-30 shortly into the second half.

However, they regained momentum, managing to score four tries in the final 26 minutes of the match.

Metcalf played a pivotal role in two of those tries, initially assisting fullback Joseph Ratcliffe to set up winger Harry Tauafiafi.
