Playing with 2 broken hands?! How?! And doing squats with the grand final trophy in the nude. Sounds like quite a character.

It must be a requirement to be a head if you're an Aussie signing for Wigan.

I think he will bring some major character to the team that was possibly going to be lost by the departure of Piggy.

Good teams need the odd character in their ranks to gell everyone in the unit.

was that need the odd character or need an odd character

Especially with piggy leaving, he's a massive character leaving the club.

The comment about his Team bonding influence is a good sign. Especially as an experienced player, he could really help when the players need some extra team spirit. Im guessing he will take Phil Baileys place in the leadership team

He likes a few drinks by the sounds of it and thats not a problem because under this coaching set up he won't go to excess or he won't be in the side.

I'm looking forward to watching him and the other new guys in action.

You've got to assume Madge knows what he's doing bringing this guy over. Also got to assume he knows how to handle those who like a drink, especially after the stunt he pulled after... Was it stains away?

totally with you there but forgive me for not being made up by stuff like "...I like a beer more than anyone..."

Madge knows him so im happy there, plus if all the squad was made up of was machines that had no personality then that wouldnt be great, but we dont want (in his words) a 'p*sshead' culture coming back.

think this guy is a good rl player and hope he has a positive impact!

257 first grade appearances, an ability to back up after big games and I forgot the small number of games he's missed. Jesus, if we took a gamble on the p|$$head that was Tim Smith, I'll put my house on this guy.

Exactly. No problem at all with Finch enjoying himself, he's proven it doesn't interfere with his Rugby. I find it really amusing though that we as a club that's had such tee-totallers as Gary Connolly, Joe Lydon, Andy Gregory etc etc, and some of us are worrying about a player liking a drink?

Billy B also liked the odd gallon.

this board gets better and better.

if we re-signed guys like tim smith or dennis moran now, given their reputed off field abilities, thered be dozens of you queueing up to say it was a good signing.

yes maguire is doing a fantastic job, yes we are a better side than any post 2000/01 ish, and yes finch has a good nrl and SoO track record but does it not make any of you drop down from being 10/10 in love with the guy to maybe 9.9/10 when he says he loves a beer more than anyone? more than gary connolly? more than lydon? boston? more than green vigo?????? if so then king streets in for a treat!
