The Warriors are prepared to let Luke Metcalf negotiate with other clubs.

A club statement says they will allow last year's first choice halfback to look for a new home, after falling down the pecking order following injuries over the last 12 months.

It comes with Tanah Boyd poised to re-sign until 2029.

Former Kiwis player Richie Barnett says it's a stunning turn of events.

"Obviously, we've seen through the year that he doesn't like playing six and Tanah Boyd's playing so well, Chanel's playing so well at six - Tanah Boyd's just amazing at seven, so it's incredible how the tide has turned."
