NEWS: Finch

[DUFFMAN]

The Storm have told Brett Finch he is not wanted next season.
He is talking to a few super league clubs but my end up at MANLY if the sea eagles cant strike a deal with Matt Orford

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

NOOOOOOO !!!

 

[byso]

He would be much better option  than Tim Smith.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I just can't see a finch fitting in with a bunch of sea eagles.

 

[Dan]

Finch has to be the ultimate Journeyman.

TBH we could do with his kicking game, in 5/8 but not as our primary attacking option. Though I do think the bloke would fit in with the boys well, and would probably earn the respect of some of the younger lads pretty quickly

 

[clontaago]

No. Canf replace Orford with Finch.

 

[Dan]

for 50k vs 450k?

 

[clontaago]

Money is irrelevant (and you wont get finch for 50K, Storm only did because Parra paid him out). Try at least 200-250k.

What's the point of having Bailey who is not a creative ball player and Finch, who also struggles in the creativity stakes. It's a step backwards.

 

[kingyfan]

Finch is crap and should go play ESL.

Hodkinson would be a better option than Finch and he would only be on about $50k. 

Finch would be askling a lot more than $50k as he walked away from a very hefty salary with the eels.  He looks pretty stupid for doing that as no-one else will pay him that much. 

 

[eggson]

Is there a source or article for this?

 

[ManlyBacker]

He is only a filler until something better comes along and that is a good reason to say pass. It is hard to believe that Anderson and now Bellamy made up their minds on him so quickly, and under those circumstances I can't see Dessie pushing him to a new level.

I'd take Finch at 5/8 over Bailey at 5/8

 

[DSM5]

Finch, punted from the Raiders, Rorters, Eels and now Melbourne.  Why on earth would we even consider that piece of junk.  From Orford to Finch, No way.  Promote from within. 

 

[kingyfan]

Jason King at half back would be better than Finch.

On the other hand if we sign Finch then daddy may ensure we get a better deal from the refs?

 

[KaZa]

50k? dreaming.

Hed get at least 250k. Hes okay if theres someone next to him of real quality.

Bailey and Finch in the halves? Ill grab my coat.

 

[Dan]

A player rejected by 3 clubs in 2 years, would not be likely to get $250k. He will get what he is given or go to the UK.

His kicking game is better than Orford and Baileys. I would take a very cheap Finch in 5/8 over Bailey, with Baliey in Lock or back row

 

[Matabele]

As a player he is more like Des Hasler than Ricky Stuart.  Think about it .....
