I think he is better at 9 !! because we look more fluent in attack when he is on !! But he ain't pretty bad at 7 either !!
What do you guy's think ??

Conroy - Being a Latics fan i'm already immune to watching sh*te.
Sally Cinnamon - Treat the Saints forum as you would if you met a girl from St Helens. Best policy would be to avoid altogether but if you absolutely can't resist temptation then take every possible precaution.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_36121.jpg |

Now Finch is attacking the line I'd say 9.

9
The team have gone up a level since he moved there and he's always dangerous when he gets in at dummy half. His try against Huddersfield shows that he poses a threat from dummy half close to the line. It's also noticeable how quick Tommy is to get in at dummy half which further adds to the pace he brings around the ruck.
Finch has done exactly what Tommy failed to do; he has been leading the team and controlling the game when Deacon hasn't had much influence. Against Huddersfield Deacon was closed down consistently and he had very little time in attack which limited his impact on the game. If Tommy had been his partner it's unlikely he would have been able to lead the team around and control the game whereas Finch did it effortlessly.

9. We've looked much better imo and spelling him and McIlorum leaving the halves unchanged keeps the overall balance of the team rather than needing to switch 3 or 4 positions when we make an interchange.

Either.
He's a class player wherever you put him and he'll play wherever the side needs him most.

7, had you a natural hooker (don't give me the NZ tosh, he's only a 9 for those to fit him in the squad) then you'd currently be top. It's the same as us putting Monaghan at 7, yeah he does a decent job but he's not as effective.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

9.
It forces him to get involved more and take on the defensive line. Far to often in the past at scrumhalf Tommy would be anonymous in games.

9.
With the best will in the world, doesn't control a game from a Halfback role like Finch can, on a consistent basis.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

He is quality with both. In our team at the moment he is a 9 and is the most attacking threat we have in that position but overall he is more potential at 7. He is more consistant at 9 though which I like.
