Finch's problem is, his talent doesn't match his ego.

He'll be at Wigan next week then!

Da Finchy Code puts through a nothing grubber close to the line that rolls dead, , Fitzgibbon yells at him to "push it". Finch says he "couldn't get the c*nt through". Fitzgibbon also gets defensive and they fall into a "no, you" slanging match, all caught on microphone.



One of the funniest scenes i've seen on a footy field.

That's not what Dally thinks - he thinks he is SOO quality player - but what does know!!!



Finch only get a run out in the NRL because the depth of half back talent is so thin - why would a 35 year old man be trotting out in Auckland if there were younger alternatives!!!

vs you and a few others?

Really - why when Bellamy was the coach for NSW didn't Finch get a spot? He thought so much of Finch he started with Bird - a very averge 13 - in game 1 and game 2 - actions speak louder than words.



Why are the rest of these guys commentators because they know they can't coach - their opinions need to be treated with that in mind - the fact you swallow it shows you are an even bigger fool than I thought.

Fair enough. But to be fair.

all reached a high status with their clubs moving to five-eighth from centres. They are more. These just popped into my head.



In oz they've always had the opinion of players being more adaptable. Halves to hooker and vice versa. Centre to five-eighth and vice versa. Five-eighths to lock. Maybe that's where we go wrong in the UK. I hear people back there mention things like this every now and then. Yet here, with coaches, it's the norm.

www.leaguehq.com.au/news/lhqnews ... 00562.html gould on the finch departure and on friday night nathan hindmarsh was benched for a while why you would bench a player of his ability beats me. it wouldnt surprise me if they punt hindy. anderson did the same with stacey jones at the warriors.

havles to hookers , yep we do that,

5/8th to lock , yep we do that too



to 6...other that gleeson who's done abit at 6, i reckon leon pryce would be a very,very good ...but normally we tend to swap our & 2nd rowers about..





if you look at andy farrell when i first broke into the wigan side he played anywhere they had a space for him,,wing,fullback,stand off..then he moved to tha pack playing 13,2nd row before finishing as a prop

Incorrect.



Stacey didn't enjoy Anderson and left. As did many other of the good 2002 Warriors sqaud. He was not punted. Even to the point of refusing (sorry retiring) to play for NZ for a while he Ando was there.

read his book. (jones)



remember when he was benched during that dogs game.



wonder why jones stopped playing for NZ when anderson was coach, and came back after he left.



jones talks a lot about his acrimonius relationship with anderson quite a bit and more or less says andersons personality forced out a lot of good players from the warriors

Thats what I got told by a Wire player yetserday

melbourne want finch aparently..

and im just looking at it without inside knowledge

You even watch the game?



Hindmarsh was played out of position for a while in the front row...



Find me some 80 minute props...



Hindmarsh hasnt been reprimanded and will not be forced out, where do you get this crap?

if it happens ill remind you



you dont bench nathan hindmarsh, hes an 80 minute player.



i told you where i heard it, on Foxsports.



another fine game for the eels on friday as well.



did you watch the game at all?

I know.



I was telling people in 2002 the year they made the GF that a lot of players didn't like him. Within a year or two. Most had left.

or alternatively the players didn't like to be member of a successful side and their egos were not be smoothed?

yes players like to be part of teams that lose.



especially stacey jones, hes such a loser

its looking like that will be repeated at parra.



no need for it either.

Catch up Dally. As if you didn't know it'd happen at Parra before he even stepped foot in the door.

i honestly thought hed take them back to the semis.

todays Rugby League Week has interviews with parra players who all disagree with the coach letting finch go.



quoting the article "angry parramatta players have slammed coach daniel anderson for allowing brett finch to leave, admitting theyll struggle without their inspirational halfback".



Ben Smith, eels player "i think anderson could have told finchy he was unwanted earlier in the year, because 5 rounds in it has left us in a tough position. Finchy was such an important part of our team being the halfback and a big part of what we do, so i think he shouldve played the whole season. we will need him when times get hard, because he is a bloke who keeps everyone together and is always upbeat".



the article also mentioned other eels players will probably suffer the same fate as finch.



with the players going against their coach, its not good for the club. from a club that had a fair chance of making the finals this year angry anderson is certainly doing his best to stop that.



the the storm are laughing all the way to the bank as they badly needed a 6 and picked up finch cheap given the eels paid out a good part of his contract.

like i said long time ago . WHERE ARE ALL OUR HALFS . ???
