Quote: Wigan Peer "Lets bear in mind we are talking about peoples careers, within a profesional environment.
1. Finch would be an idiot if he was not trying to get the best deal for himelf
2. The Wigan management would be negligent if they were not looking at replacements for all positions. People can leave or get injured at any time.'"
You missed 3. Which is it is the clubs job to secure the best players possible.
Given Tommy is leaving, who is realistically available and how much salary cap will be freed up next season if the club is does not re-sign Finch it will be a failure. It should take about 5 minutes to realise considering your point 2 he is the man for the job.
I can't see anyone of note who is as good who is definitely available. Letting him leave in favour of young players is a none starter given Tommy is going. If Wane thinks he can get away with this he would be guilty of believing his own propaganda.
He and his agent probably know they are in a strong position. Sometimes clubs are calling the shots but at the end of the day I can't see any reason why the club is not doing its best to secure his signature.
If we don't people will no doubt trot out the platitudes about no being held to ransom etc but I can't see why we are not in a position to outbid any SL side without breaking the bank. None of the rest of them are overflowing with cash.
All things considered it should be a formality he stays with us unless he wants to return to the NRL.
