| Finn has been outstanding in the Championship - at Leigh, we're sick of the sight of him! - playing behind a good dominant pack. It would be interesting to see how he fares in SL.

| Quote: DAVE@CAS1990 "I think you guys need more at half back than a 33 year old centre and a 30 year old with limited SL experience.
Cream over your pack all you want, yeah it's shaped up pretty well, but you won't win very many games without quality in the halves.
Each hour that passes is an hour nearer the season and less and less will become available. Sykes and Finn would be basically sound, but painfully slow and have virtually no flair.
To say lacking pace and flair is fine as long as you kick well is a very naive way of looking at the sport. Leeds do the "5 drives and kick" game plan very well but they'd still a golden boot winner playing half back all year, cause it sounds WAAAAY easier than what it is. To think you can get Finn and Sykes to do that at the top level and "grind out results" ....well, good luck I suppose'"
Since when have Leeds played 5 drives and a kick game plan?

| OK before anyone else jumps on the defensive, this shall be my last post...
Leeds in big games stick to a failry basic game plan with few handling errors, then turning the ball over in good areas, applying pressure, forcing mistakes, then taking what chances they have. They don't have a very expansive game in big matches, they keep it tight.
So after making myself feel physically ill having to talk about the front wheel skids, I shall leave the speculation page...

Wasting your breath mate - but I agree with you, I'm impressed when I watch him but others aren't.
I also thought he looked great against Cas and Wigan in the cup.

Nothing petulant, I just don't like the posters attitude.
Your amature analysis of my personality from 12,000 miles away is especially amusing.
Just as an aside, living in Oz doesn't make you our resident NRL expert - that one is getting especially dull.'"
I am really surprised you didn't settle in Australia... Your 'all about me' attitude would fit in here beautifully...
My post was ... In fact ,,, a comment on the person you were arguing with... And was meant to be lighthearted.
I am sorry if it offended you...
No actually I am not... You are an unpleasant and judgmental person who delights in belittling others.
See I went anonymously petulant at you then and it felt good... As for HIDING in Australia... Well that's rich from someone who went running home.
Merry Christmas.

| Finn certainly did well against SL opposition a couple of seasons back when Fev ripped cas apart and ran a very close 2nd to the best team in the country

| I'm uotewhy do you persist on thinking people assume they're experts, just becasue they have an opinion they stand by?
I'm ok if he's not the best on the field when playing Australia Dave.
If we sign him, we'll only want him to play better the Seymour

| Why can no one express an opinion on here without being sarcastically called an "expert" by vastman?
Is that not what forums are for, expressing opinions, however outrageous they may seem to others?
I think the forum's self appointed expert on all things RL would be happier with a forum all to himself which would leave the rest of us mere mortals, to happily chat amongst ourselves, without suffering the wrath of vastman.
I use a few forums and this is without doubt the least enjoyable one.

| In all seriousness the problem comes when people confuse facts with opinions.
Both writers and readers.
It does wind me up when people state their opinions like facts as we spend the next page with an argument about whether they are right.
It's not a big deal but it's where the discussions go wrong.
It's just the difference between
"They can't play together" and
"I don't think they'll be able to play well together because......"
We'll still all argue but it's easier to see what we are discussing.
Sorry if it sounds like I'm preaching. I don't mean to. Just thought I'd say how I see it.

| Its a forum. Just because some bloke (im presuming?!) you probably dont know, doesnt agree with you then you take your bat and ball home??
Yes some people may put there opinions across in a manner you dont really like, but does it matter really?? Argue your point (in a civilised manner) as this is what the forum is all about.

Exactly, if you can't except others views may not be in line with yours you are in the wrong place.
Provided you stay within the boundaries.

| I thought that it was 'given', 'accepted', 'default' that what people post on the forum is an opinion not a fact, no matter how it's worded or put across. Unless they start quoting references or sources to evidence their statement and prove it to be the case and therefore a 'fact' I always just take it as an opinion which I may or may not agree with.
I sometimes get pulled up by posters (Dee Hell most recently) because I state my opinion in strong terms or in such a manner that someone comes back asking me to prove it!
