People who can't be arsed reading the board to see whether the old web news story they've just discovered is already being discussed are annoying.

Just thought I'd say.

How old is he? To be fair it's normally the 'big' names that come over and do nothing in SL. I'm sure he could do a reasonable job over here. Glad to see he'd rather stay in Aus though. Better for all of us.

not sure, id say 26 - 28.

there are far worse imports than he doing well in SL.

he probably still has plans later.

he would fit in well at the storm or saints given the coaches and they also are short in the 6 or 7 spots.

Sorry, but I hope Bradford get him.

We really do need a decent halfback.

Of course with the freedom from the removal of relegation our SL clubs will be blooding the fantasic local talent and not looking for quick fixes.

NRL on Fox tonight :

1. this is all from the club not the player. anderson couldnt guarantee his FG spot in the future and finch thought it best he left now

2. the club prefers he goes to SL, the player prefers to stay in the nrl. the club hasnt said theyll grant him a release to another nrl club

3. 6 or 7 clubs have already rung his manager to express an interest

4. he is on $400,000 pa. probably a deal could involve parra still paying part of his wages

5. nathan cayless and nathan hindmarsh have been warned they could be next if they dont perform

I thought this year was seeing the Hindmarsh of old? Not seen much of him myself but I was under the impression he was back to his best, or near

NRL on Fox tonight all thought it was a really dumb move by the club and talked about what a great player finch was. lots of nrl experience.

they pointed out the eels have managed to win 2 games whilst the top teams are only at 3, and finch isnt the reason the eels are underperforming

finch has been carrying jarred hayne at 5/8th for example.

i hope we get finchy.

pretty much he has been playing well.

i thought his form was good last year too but Origin selectors didnt pick him because of the clubs poor form

he carries them every week.

youll get 50 tackles from him plus hit ups.

id guess theyd get rid of cayless before hindmarsh.

cayless doesnt do much
