Maybe Madge always wanted to ease Finch into the team over a period of games but was forced into playing Finch to an extent with the Deacon injury. Now he's back hes looking after him and taking him out of the immediate firing line.
I like the Idea of starting him from the bench hopefully after the first 20-30 mins we start well and get a couple of scores in front which by no means is a certainty but if it was to happen Finch can be brought on for Micky with Tommy to 9 with no pressure on Finch to be creating things and pushing the boat out to impress.
Quote: Rogues Gallery " On a side note im guessing Madge has gone for Deacs as he has a better understanding of how our team operates it will take time for Finch to get used to different combos and he doesn't seem to see Leuluai as a Hooker despite many on here knowing more than Madge.'"
I agree with you regards Deacon and his understanding of the players around him. But i think Magde does see Tommy as a 9 to an extent he's used him there if only for short spells in virtually every game this year . Thats also without having the luxury of having Tommy, Deacs and Finch all fit at once which has limited the options and therefore the amount of time Tommys been able to be released from the halfs to go to hooker.
Like the look of the team for friday although i hope Carmont and Richards are on the same wing despite how it looks in tinytim's OP, as i dont like the idea of breaking up that partnership that has served us so well over the last year or so.
