    I don't see how playing in the JB Cup for the Dragons feeder will further his career.

    We arent in the JB Cup. He wouldn't make Shellharbour, our halves are our best two players.

    Finch is a decent player if coached right. I can understand the blokes frustation at being thrown into hooker etc.

    Finch and Cronk leading the halves together would be an epic failure, IMO. Would clash so much. And to add Smith to that.

    I never said it would be successful. Merely he doesn't have a huge amount of options...

    Canberra maybe? Julian's comments will be interesting...

    Is Finch left footed?

    Penrith have to sign him.

    I'm keen to know why he has done this. Surely he would take up an offer in the UK rather than kick around in the NRL.

    So the report now is that he was not happy that Daniel Anderson could not guarantee him a first grade spot each week so he wants out.

    What a cat. He'll go to Super League for sure. Eels won't release him for a reason like that only to have to play against him at some point this season.

    He isnt going to superleauge, hes been realesed and will be signing for an NRL club.

    Most recent report I can find is...


    Finch was contracted to the Eels for the rest of this year as
    well as 2010 and 2011.
    Fitzgerald said the release would go ahead subject to further
    negotiations, including a financial settlement.
    "We've heard rumours but it is with a Super League club and that
    would be the best situation as far as we're concerned rather than
    another NRL club," Fitzgerald said.
    "As far as I'm aware he was unhappy with the situation.
    "Coach Daniel Anderson had spoken with him about his performance
    last weekend and Daniel indicated that he hasn't got a guaranteed
    spot in first grade.
    "Brett was looking for something more secure than that."

    No chance he's going to the Storm, uh?

  13. Colesy BL Hornby

    Nah, i think he'll go to Penrith

  14. Frizzed WC Welker

    I doubt we would sign him.

    Dureau + Mullen > Finch

  15. Snake A Vago

    Hahaha rather than fight for his position, he concedes defeat after 5 rounds and demands for a release. Just shows what type of character he has.

  16. Billy B Olsen

    He's a decent half when he's switched on. I'd rather have him over someone like soward, rovelli, sammut etc.

  17. Prince Charles P Charles

    I'd prefer Soward... but agree on the other two.

    Are you seriously an Eels fan? What a ****ing embarassment.

    Finch was one of our leaders and an excellent organiser. This is a HUGE loss. As a consequence, I will be placing money on Parra to win the wooden spoon.

    Behind a good pack he goes alright imo. He's solid and dependable.
