Quote sally cinnamon="sally cinnamon"Lets be honest if we'd signed Finch we would all be wetting ourselves about signing one of the NRL's most effective halfbacks, and a proper halfback who isn't a hooker halfback. If Wigan had signed Brett Hodgson we would be laughing at them for signing somebody two seasons past his best. It's all part of the game, confidently predict that the opposition have signed a dud.
What does everyone reckon about Maguire as a coach, had anybody even heard of him when he was announced as Wigan coach? I remember us predicting he would be a big gamble as somebody untried at the highest level. Could the gamble backfire on Wigan and Macguire turn out to be a flop?'"
I think those who watch the NRL would not be wetting themselves. Finch has always been an erratic player, sometimes brilliant, sometimes terrible. I believe a lot of that is to do with him being quite an emotional player, it was not unusual to see him ranting at his team mates, especially so at the Roosters. When it has all been down to him, it hasn't quite worked.
Being at Melbourne has taken a massive amount of pressure off him, even though he plays as a second half, not a stand-off as I would deem it to be.
With all that said, I do think he will be a good fit at Wigan. He has a natural halfback partner in Tomkins and a ball handler in O'Loughlin, a seemingly complimentary trimuvarate.
