Are you joking, he was shocking tonight

Bollocks, he wasn't shocking at all. Some plays didn't come off but that's more to do with our runners not being used to him yet. I suppose you expected him to be all guns firing when he's a good couple of months behind the others? Get real.

load of crap , how long has he not played for ? did he not score our only try ? he was nt up to full speed but what can you expect under the circumstance hahaha i knew i d get home and Finch would be getting the bullet of people , So predictable

But


And as I said


QED

My source was wrong and has been sacked.

Makes a change for you to actually put it up before the event - well done.

Well seeing as I touched a nerve and he actually came through at last (although it was still about an hour before kick off), I should just have listened to Tiny Tim who got it spot on about three days ago.

QED.

According to the people sat behind me tonight, Finch is "worse than Tim Smith and only here for a holiday". Pathetic, give the lad a chance ffs.

Thought Finch tried a few different things tonight, but the team were on a different wavelength, it will improve in time. I don't know how people can expect him to be 100% fit and firing on all cylinders in his first game for about 6 months! Overall, I thought he showed some glimpses of quality and will only get better.

No he wasnt.

Exactly.

Get the lad some runners, get some players on his shoulder and give him time to get match fit and he'll be a quality player for us.

Spot on, it's always the same though with a new overseas signing, especially a 6 or 7. They're expected to hit it straight away and he's at a disadvantage to by missing a few games already, he's very similar to Smith in some ways but better in defence ( which isn't hard ). If I'm honest Smith was a very creative back and had he of been in that team last year he'd of had a field day under Madges coaching, Finch will prove to be a good signing. I seen enough from Finch tonight to prove to me that he'll be a good player for us, we might not have got the result we wanted tonight but you can see he's always thinking further ahead with plays and will direct us.

Remember what I posted on page 1.



I saw that reaction coming.

He was average tonight. Most of the things he tried didn't come off apart from the kick. Looked very rusty and can't help feeling that he shouldn't have started such a big game after so long out.

Showed glimpses and a sign of some inventive plays that will start to come off through practice. The attacking kick early in the tackle count with a minute to go in the first half was a good idea but poorly executed, attacking down the blind side creating space for Charnley a couple of times and of course his solo effort for the try.

I thought he played quite well. Scored the try, defended well, tried to organise us, put on some good moves but was generally not match fit and out of touch of the plays.

One positive, the Finch-Hoffman link appears to be very good.

I posted on here long ago about finch. 2 of my very good friends are storm members(season ticket holders to me and you) and have watched him a lot.

Finch is a ham n eggs nrl half back nothing flash. Can kick, can pass, can defend. He's not quick but he's not slow. he's never gonna be a world beater. But he's solid nrl halfback. He was also regarded as the most disliked player by fellow pros for his constant sledging and niggle
