Are you having a laugh there?
There is not a worse winger in Super League than him, even including for Ricky Sheriffe.
Not a chance will he kick on and get a go in super league.
And to the opening poster, although I agree with BrisbaneRhino on Finch, I too think Wigan will have everything sewn up for the next couple of years. They have signed two very very good players in Hoffman and Lima, to add to a team already leading the league this year. That current team is still learning with many youngsters, and they have by far the best academy set up currently to compliment this further. |

Finch - average.
Hoffman - Class
Lima big soft lump. Made himself look like a numpty against the Warriors recently.

Good luck to Wigan, I'm not sure that making such big changes just when you start showing some promise is the best thing to do, never worked for us.
Not seen any NRL since sky stopped it so I've no idea how good these lads are.

I think Finch is ok but not world class by any stretch of the imagination.
Hoffman is quality imo and Lima will have more impact than Fat feka ever had and can last longer than 3 drives. |

How is making improvements not the best thing to do 
Hoffman in for Baily, Lima in for Feka??? You cant tell me thats not a major improvement... |

Oh look a touchy pie
All I said it that from my experience of being a Leeds fan and buying big name players for years and winning nothing until finally concentrating on the academy lads it's fair to say that IMO it doesn't guarantee anything for next year.
Wigan have finally started to show some promise and I would like to see them get more of the youngsters into the first team and win the title that way.
Good luck for next year but don't go around calling people crazy when they don't start pulling one of over your new signings.

Yea i did and your first one two where you basically siad it wasnt best to make 'such big changes'. Not touchy just makes me laugh when people say this and like you quite rightly pointed out you dont even watch the NRL so hwo can you form an opinion that these signings arent for the best??? We have a lot of youth at the club and mix in these signings then imo its great for the club. All 3 can be seen as direct replacements for other overseas players that will most likley be leaving. |
