I think you will find Featherstone have released him because they have replaced him with Moore from Batley.

Well under normal circumstances he wouldn't be on my shopping list, but given the current mess we are in we are in no position to turn our noses up at players of this potential.

not the most athletic or dynamic half backs there is, but certainly got experience and the grey matter to improve us if he came. Again, as somebody has pointed out if this had been some no mark from the NSW Cup or wherever then plenty would be salivating at the prospect he could be the next Henry Paul.

Not heard that he has been released although Halifax did have the ok to speak to him and he refused to go as he wanted to stay at Fev. If Wakey gave him a chance at S/ L I think he would take it as it seems he may not be wanted at Fev Personally I think you should of come for him 2 year ago but as one of the post say he's not an Aussie so hasn't had the opertunity Hope he stays at Fev another year because Moore is not as good as him at the moment but if you get him good luck to him.

In my opinion he does not have the pace or hands to be a super league scrum half irrelevant of where he comes from or what accent he has.
Then again i dont suppose we are trying to win the comp, 3rd bottom will do (maybe??) and when you look at it like that, its only 3 places above the team he has been playing for. I'll take him

I don't think he is superleague material either, hence every superleague coach in the last ten years has left him in the championship, but beggers can't be choosers i suppose. I think its a lack of pace that has scuppered his chance and at 30 years old he isn't going to get any quicker but at least he has a kicking game.

Really

yet Tim Smith was lightning quick.

Smith also has a much better passing game than Finn. Although Finns defence is probably just about better.

Whatever the virtues of Tim Smith, Liam Finn is not good enough imo, and I have seen nothing in the WC to change my mind.

The USA sh would be a better bet - he's shown some real quality. Whilst we're at it, get that big prop, Offerdahl?

Have to say you really surprise me with that, but then you've been wrong before.

Just wondering why you feel the need to contradict my every post rare though they are these days, I know it's your opinion but flipping heck it's every time these days.

My fault for joining in again, I'm off now

Dummy spit.......

Offerdahl is a free agent and has got the 3 rd highest tackle busts in RLWC 2013 so if we could afford him may be a good cheap prop replacement for Poore. Joseph Paulo is a NRL player though with Paramatta and would not be cheap as under contract. www.zerotackle.com/nrl/eels-resi ... tars-6123/ If all we can afford as a 7 is Liam Finn and he wants SL plus Fev will release him then Liam Finn it is and the best of luck to him in the red, white and blue. He was ok for Ireland last week but there pack we're pathetic IMHO.

Apart from the fact that he's under contract at Fev for next season (how will you afford his transfer fee?), he's got a thriving business and is reluctant to go full time......

Whilst you don't post often at the moment you always have a point and are the best read on this forum. Keep posting, you've even got me posting now.

Yours a former junior player who didn't quite make it, supporter of 44 years, and looking forward to the next season where the underdog that is Wakefield Trinity surprises more than is expected!

I think I read in either the LE or RLW that he was free to move on at the end of the season and was looking to use the WC as a chance to impress a potential SL suitor.

Finn has been replaced by Moore and has been told to find a club as he is not wanted. There will be no transfer fee but the factor will be whether wakefield can pay him what he currently earns from Fev and his business.....that's where the problem is. If fev are replacing him with someone who has a better kicking game, is much quicker, more prolific and a lot younger what does that tell you.....

...... That you have no idea what is going on?

That rich Moore will play for Featherstone at scrum half next year?


Oh oh ... I know.... ... No sorry... I don't

no 3 yards too slow

I'll assume this is a joke

Finn still got year left on his contract at Fev. Apparently he was going to Fax but we wanted him to stay.

We have signed Moore, still got Briggs and kain and Mendeika played stand off for Ireland in WC, So we probably got the half back positions covered if he was to leave.

He has lost a lot of pace and doesn't make the breaks as often, and hes never been the most creative with the ball. His goal kicking is fantastic, but tactical kicking not the best although it did improve 100% this season with the arrival of Sean long as temporary coach.

To be Honest when is was rumored he was going to fax, opinion was pretty divided on whether it was a good or bad thing. Lots would be glad to get rid of him, while he cant do any wrong for others

Personally from what I have seen of Moor I think we have a good replacement should Finn leave

Is there anyone on here who can translate this post for me please ?

Ok I will try...

I know who Finn is as he used to play reserve grade at Trinity... And he s getting some air time in the world cup coverage. I don't know who the Moore is (other than Richard Moore) who is going to Featherstone...

I was being cryptically clever in not knowing what you are referring to...

I couldn't understand your post in the same way you don't understand mine...

Finn played in the first team not reserves.

On odd occasions...He signed in the closed season before 2004 season (i wrote a poem based on the captain beaky song which refered to his signing along with Solo and Sid Domic) Rooney and Jeffries were first choice halves ... Then when Rooney got crook.. Gaz Ellis played 5/8th right through to the end of the season.

Don't remember Liam getting too much game time...

its Gareth Moore the half back who is at Batley , well now Fev. He was on our books 2 seasons ago
