I don't feel he will leave australia yet, since hes still 27 not 30 , still got a career, and i think Bradford should bring up the academy, or even buy someone english? Thought that was the point of this francise.

he's got a few years yet to get over to Bradford! Seriously though I'd love us to promote an academy half, but I dont think we have any that are ready to step up (I could be wrong if anyone wishes to put forward a name?) I'd also prefer to sign a young up and coming half like Myler from Salford if we had the cash and he wanted to come. But that ain't gonna happen either.

I read on teletext that we will be in the transfer market so my guess is he is the player we are looking at. Finch to take Bird's salary?

Finch to become 'Bullfinch' ?

Not sure we want another drunken Aussie though, he might resurrect last season's orgy culture that Macca has striven hard to eradicate.

Agree he most likely will go to Melbourne or Penrith, because the Storm are playing without a 6, and are playing Cameron Smith there. So maybe they are to buy Finch and put him at 6, with Cronk at 7. The other option is Penrith who are playing Luke Lewis; a loose forward at 7, so Finch will be wanted there.

Is that the same Luke Lewis who played nearly all of last season at 6 or 7.

But in his career he has been a Loose Forward or a Centre. He isn't a natural halfback.

Finch was on the Footy Show shown on Setanta last night. He said there had been a few enquiries from English clubs but was looking to stay in NRL
