Quote: Last Son of Wigan "Fitness maybe an issue, regardless of all the intense training its not the same as a full speed high impact match.
MM dropped Finch into the deepend against Wire, and I don't think it really paid off at the time.'"
Theres a massive difference between playing in the halves and playing in the back row. Finch had to come in and organise things for the rest of the team and it obviously didnt work, Hock has to come in and do his own job without really worrying about what everyone else is doing.
Also Finch was coming back from a serious career threatening injury into a league he has never played before. Hock has spent two years filled with regret and determination to get back out there again and make up for his mistake, I dont think Hock and Finch's situation should be compared at all.
