Agreed. Bags of enthusiasm, looks to have decent speed. How he played today you really couldn't ask anything more from a young debutant.

pretty impressed with finigan. took his tries well and neither were particularly easy ones. couple of mistakes aside looked decent defensively and looked good both at wing and fullback. will only improve with experience.

A bit of polishing and he could be a very good player.

Ben Hellewell is the better prospect but is 2 years younger.

Is it me or have we become too used to big hulking backs?! I've noticed it mentioned a few times in various posts and I'm not sure whether it's just us or whether it's other clubs too when they introduce a smaller (some might say normal sized!) player. I know a player needs a certain amount of bulk and strength but I've thought before that we might take it a bit too.

I know a smaller player might struggle when it comes to big one on one hits, especially in defence, but at the end of the day if your technique is right you can still tackle a player! Get round his ankles - even the biggest player can't run without his legs!

I love seeing smaller, nippier players taking on and beating the big guys and it makes for a much better spectacle than having two sets of giants steamrolling each other.

His old man, Michael, grew a cracking beard, but he didn't like the Odsal wind.

He looks to have plenty of raw talent and an instinct for joining the line at the right moment. He loked much more dangerous at fullback than on the wing. He needs to be handled carefully though. He didnt look as if he had played an awful lot of rugby, his defensive positional sense was poor. I can see him being targeted in defense once opponents get word of him.

It's a big ask of any 18 year old to step up in a game with a fair amount of expectation and pressure from fans. It's an even bigger ask or expectation to expect him to be the best player in the side. That he was by some distance along with Kopczak, is a credit to him.

Yes he got licked for pace by Jodie Broughton, but that boys got wheels and would make most full backs look stupid in that same position. Finnigans ability to be direct, attract attention from defenders and offer something different make him a threat with ball in hand; something the rest of the side bar Kearney, Manzies and L'Estrange are significantly lacking.

That other senior players didn't step upto the plate was the bigger disappointment. I lost count of the number of times Langley tried to take on the role of Ray Price with his passing instead of making than pumping the legs and making the required hard yards.

For fear of repetition, yesterday was a game Glenn Morrison would have relished. We continue to regret his release.

great start for the youngster, looked quick & direct and grew in confidence throughout.

Its easy to say that with benefit of hindsight. on basis of previous two years and number of games he missed then we were left with little option but to release imo. Just typical that both him and solomona then go on to have pretty much injury free seasons

regret perhaps but i for one understand the reasons behind him leaving. he played in only 8 games in his final season with us. given that he was likely a high earner AND took a quota spot, a pragmatic approach was needed.

his drive and commitment was second to none and I believe if you had a team who played with the heart and passion of glenn morrison then that team would be formidable. i just hope that while he was here that lads like whitehead and donaldson listened to him and picked up a few pointers
