id welcome finchy at my club.

Go Hoover.

and the guy that will replace finch is the son of steve mortimer. a player that rivalled the great peter sterling in the 80s as the 2 great clubs of the 80s were winning competition (dogs)

I see Daniel Anderson's started earlier than normal

It's good entertainment.



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.

People who can't be d 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.

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.

The same Tim Smith nobbed off by Parra?

obviously not a raiders, roosters or eels fan...



we all seem to agree

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

Daniel Mortimer is not the son of Steve Mortimer.



He is the son of Peter Mortimer, Steve's brother.

[size=125Are you trying to imply that you know more about the history of the NRL than DillyDally?



In his short life DillyDally has redrawn the map of France, relocating an entire city (Lyon) to the south of France. He did this from his home in Australia.



If it wasn't for DillyDally, we would never know what was happening in the NRL.[/size

why do you change the font of your posts.



i mean its not as if you are short of being attention seeking

fair enough



you said you were happy finch has gone, so weve both made silly comments

No I gave an opinion of most eels fans...



You gave an incorrect fact.

1. I'd be VERY surprised if Finch is on 400k.



2. He is definitely part of the reason the Eels are under-performing. If the Eels lost against the Raiders, he would've been the worst offender. Still was, even though they won. He was nearly as bad again, against the Roosters.



3. While i've heard Cayless could be next, I haven't heard the same about Hindmarsh. One article is all i've read, so would be happy to be pointed in the right direction, but the two other names mentioned were Cayless and Cordoba.



4. Parra would be absolutely mad to give Hindmarsh the flick. He's playing very well, I want him for NSW.

CGD



Fox or Dally have their wires crossed and lumped Hindmarsh in with Cayless. Hindmarsh has not been put on notice, neither does his form warrant it.



Cayless has need a kick up the ass for a couple of years, this dose of reality could do him the world of good.



Back on topic, I can still see Finch coming to SL. He might not want to, but he requested the release and the ball is in Parramattas court at the moment. They (although having a stupidly high contract to sort out) have the slight upper hand in negotiations.

sharks need him

:2vrubyme

you gave an opinion on you.



then again it was funny listening to laurie daley, gary belcher and gary freeman all talking about what a good player he was and why the club were pushing him out.



i remembered your comments and had a giggle.
