the SUN says this morning that both St Helens and Hull are after signing Finch. Apparently an insider at Wigan has said Wane has other people ear marked for the position.

I hope this is the SUN trying to fill space because if Wanes does not resign Finch it would be a disaster.



Finch has been fantastic this year and led the team around brilliantly.

we cannot lose TL and Finch together!

It's an article in the S*n.

That's all you need to know about it.

Finch has shown how good he can be this year, his organisation of the team is a major factor behind the increase in Wigans points scored this season. I think a player should be paid their "worth" who decides this though club, fans , performance or a combination of all three.

Do I think there are better organising halfs in SL? No. Are there better in the NRL? Yes.

And as already posted its in the Sun

Finch must stay. Losing him to a rival club would be even worse than him returning to the NRL! He is the best 6 in the comp at the moment.

Story stinks of his agent trying to bump his wages up, would be surprised to see Finch leave Wigan.

That said, I'd love him at Saints. He's class.

Lets bear in mind we are talking about peoples careers, within a profesional environment.

1. Finch would be an idiot if he was not trying to get the best deal for himelf
2. The Wigan management would be negligent if they were not looking at replacements for all positions. People can leave or get injured at any time.

Interesting that he hasn't signed a deal yet.

Hull have a lot of cap to play with next and are desperate for a halfback of his quality, I would have thought that if we have offered him a contract it will be a very good one for three years, depends if Wigan can match this (or get close) and how much he wants to stay.

It's a bit depressing to say it but if Wigan offer Finch a similar deal to the one Hull are offering, then there is only winner.

He is exactly the sort of player saints need. Same with Hull. He would have the potential to turn either squad into a championship winning team. I still see him improving at Wigan every week though, he just gets better and better as he grows into the team.

So do we. With TL, Carmont, Roberts and (possibly) Fielden coming off cap next year, that'll be a huge chunk freed up. I personally can't see Finch playing in anything other than Cherry & White next year.

Finch will be looking for his last big contract, you can't blame him for exploring every possibility.

Written by Dave "Nosey" Parker. Enough said. The bloke is a laughing stock even among RL journos.

Did it pick up on any speech impediment that Finch, or anyone involved, may have?

Would that be the same bloke who wrote a load of rubbish about Willie Manu leaving us a month ago???

No, but the Daily Express & Daily Mail are reporting that he was somehow involved with Princess Diana and that he's an illegal Immigrant!

Pwease stay Bwett.

I suppose one hit every few years taking his info from internet boards isn't something to be that proud about.

why would he wanto leave a club where has a very good chance of picking up silverware to go to a club that has lost 5 finals in a row or to a club that ain't got a chance of anything, Wigan are THE club

Because he knows it will be his last big contract and he will want to make himself as financially secure as possible.

fair enough, but if he was going to do that then surely he would head back down under for a big payout rather than going to some small unsuccessful club living on their past glories

We should have the money available on the cap to match whatever Saints or Hull will be offering. I just worry about Lenegan's tight fisted approach and Wane's desire to have as many Wiganers in the team as possible.

Brett was asked if he had signed a new contract yet on Tues night at the Riversiders meeting, he said he expected it to be sorted within the next two weeks. He is loving it at Wigan and says the rest of the lads are terrific. I wouldnt be surprised if he doesnt become involved in the coaching side at Wigan later on.

Any news on his preferred volume of Weetabix?

IFL has done well so far and the team is going well under Waneys tutilage.

From a Saints perspective I can't see there being any truth in this. In order to sign Finch we would have to release one of Puletua, Soliola (only just singed new deal), Laffranchi, Perry or Hohaia earlier.

Laffranchi is in his first year and doing well, it wont be him, and I cant see a reason for Puletua to leave now.

The only possibilty would be if Hohaia was unhappy or homesick and wanted to go back.

But it is very very doubtful IMO.
