I think had Barrett been here under Madge we would have won the double each of the two years he was here and maybe with things going well on-field he things may have been better off it. A crying shame we had one of the best half backs ever under such a one dimensional coach as Noble.

We are lucky we have got another top class Aussie half back and we definitely need to keep him.

Agree completely about signing Finch and Mic Mac.

Needs to happen before other parties start sniffing.

other parties will already be sniffing around, players agents will be touting their clients to clubs now for the best deals but without any contracts being signed or approaches made due to the anti-tampering laws, that was from david howes in an interview in the hull daily mail

I'm resurrecting this old thread as there's been little noise from the club on Finch staying, he has expressed his desire to stay at the club it should be a conformity IL should sign one of our best players for the next two seasons.

Definitely. He was excellent again today.

I would be devastated if he signed for another super league club.

Lenegan came in the southstand bar after the game with Wakey, said he was going in to see Brett about a new contract. Must admit heard nothing since

Let's hope that after todays performance as our General on the field of play we hear the news that IL has agreed a new 2 year contract with Brett and an option of a 3rd year for Wigan to retain him

He's playing like a dream at the moment. He's a real general and we must keep him. I think we will tbh as why would he want to leave and why wouldn't we want to keep him?

Him and especially Leuluai were excellent today.

Finch and Dureau next year would be delicious

Hopefully not in a Pie. I thought Cannibals were in Yorkshire a well.

Give him chance mate , it's only been a few week since Easter Monday , IL is not know for quick announcements is he even though deals in the past have probably been agreed and signed off months before anything is publicly announced .

Good thread topic but I wish folk would not judge a guy on a few performances like some did after Finchy had only donned the Cherry and White a few games in.

last year Brett came into the side after a long lay off with injury and no pre-season....was always going to take him at least 5-10 games to get up to speed. Now he is getting better and better and it is what we need, a general on the field.

Stay finchy

It's to Finch and Hoffmans credit they managed to play so well last season considering most imports put in extremely average performances in their first year compared to what they have shown in the nrl. Finch has stepped up his game again for 2012 and if where to win any trophies it's because this guy will be at the heart of every play.
