If we offer Finch a 1 year contract, we lose him IMO. Remember we already need to replace Tommy for next season. Replacing Tommy AND Finch with players of similar qualities and ability would not only be difficult, but also pretty disruptive to the team.

We lost Roberts, Bailey, Gleeson, Fieldon, Phelps, Riddell, Pale last year won the CC and had a good shout for the GF. Disruptive is an over used word in sport. Always look at the bigger picture, you sign old players for too long you pay the price...

I would just give him what ever he asks for as long as its not completely ridiculous

Thank god you don't run the club

Finch has the ability to make everyone around him play even better. He is priceless to this team.

I would say he is as good as Barrett but without the pace and ability to back up down the middle. His passing, kicking, organisation, reading of the game etc is superb. The best 6 in super league by a distance.

Wane salutes Finch

“Finchy turns up when you need him to,” said Wane. “Not many players do that to Paul Wellens.

“If there is a chance of hanging on to him I’d be keen to. There’s lots of time left. He’s enjoying his rugby and I’m enjoying watching him.

“We’re speaking to him and his agent.

“I don’t know where it’s going to end up but, if I get hold of Brett Finch for next year, I’ll be really happy.”

I wouldn't just be surprised, I'd be astonished if Finch is wearing anything other than Cherry & White next season.

doesnt sound overly confident

I think you are reading too much into what SW is saying, he is probably just telling it like it is. He will know that negotiations are ongoing, but there is nothing to say on the matter, just comment on how he is playing and how he is an asset to the squad.

Finchy will go where the money is and we should throw more than Hull/Saints/whoever are throwing at him. He's pivotal to our team, must have a hand in about 90% of our tries.

im really not suprised saints are looking at him because Lance Hohaia is appauling at 6.

He's crap isn't he

Is he motivated by money or by winning? I'd be very disappointed if he left just for more money in SL, because he is currently with a young and improving squad, and can be a massive influence in winning trophies with Wigan over the next couple of years. I can't see Saints or Hull being in the running for silverware anytime soon.

give him a 2 year with an option of a further year in clubs favour, as well as a coaching option on good terms to offset any shortfall in playing wage to keep us well within the salary cap... His organisation skills alone are worth every penny we pay him at the moment.....

If he goes to Saints I'd be amazed - he would know how that would completely ruin his good standing amongst the Wigan fans.

Hull or the NRL could be possibilities if the contracts on offer are better.

I do get the impression he wants to stay at Wigan but he understandably has to balance this with the need to get the most financially out of what may be his last playing contract.
