I don't think he's saying its a bad move for you lads, just that he's probably more needed in our team. When you have an international 6 and 7 but are lacking a hooker (with riddell leaving) wouldn't it make more sense to go and sign a top quality hooker rather than convert your scrum half. yes I know leuluai has played well there before but I reckon he's better at 7 complimemnting the man you should be building your team around for the next 10 years in sam tompkins. I wouldn't be messing him about by playing him at full back either as he looks the most naturally talented stand off I've seen in many a year.

We have Micky Mcilurom whos getting better every game he plays.I personally believe hes going to be a star.
Adding to him Tomkins Number 3 whos going to be knocking on the door soon..we have enough at hooker
we were crying out for a top scrum half..i dont and never have believed tommy is good enough there.

| Personally I'm reasonably pleased we've missed out on finch, as I said previously he looks a good player in a great side, put him in our team and I'm not sure he'd be that good. Think he could be one of. Those that takes time to settle and never meets his apparent standard over here.
Think Wigan might end up with too many cooks ala hudds signing of brough. Time will tell and I'm sure they'll still be the side to beat next year.

| What you dont have you dont miss.
If Crocker had been at Hull then one of O Meley or Fitzgibbon would not be there now so quite why they find it funny Finch has gone to Wigan is strange.
There will be other irons in the fire.

Turns out it was a lucky escape.

We have indeed. He's more of a squad player now but his input into Danny Houghtons rise cannot be under estimated.
He's had personnel tradgedy and had injury problems but as long as he can score match winning tries and pull off try saving tackles against our top 8 rivals he'll do for me.
His experience in big games will be invaluable.
I'd be interested to know how you know he's our top earner?

I said top earner ( as in he earns a lot ) rather than your top earner.
* Note the difference*
I'd suggest most S.L. clubs would expect top earners to be pivotal players within their team rather than squad members.

Yeah that's how it reads silly me.
That's what happens when clubs have to promise long contracts to get top players over.

I meant over from Australia, you'll notice when your older players get in their last seasons.
They struggle a bit more with injuries like Galea and Vella now and Clinton and Newton may.
