    Warriors coach Andrew Webster has explained why he's picked Tanah Boyd to replace Luke Metcalf at halfback over Te Maire Martin for Sunday's NRL tussle with the Tigers at Mt Smart

    Warriors coach Andrew Webster has explained why he's picked Tanah Boyd to replace Luke Metcalf at halfback over Te Maire Martin for Sunday's NRL tussle with the Tigers at Mt Smart


    Webster claims Boyd's a completely different half to Metcalf - more of an organiser with less pace but a strong kicking game.

    Martin has been named on the interchange as a utility option.

    Webster says Martin will be needed elsewhere if another player gets injured.
