Yep, and the following week against Salford he was terrible, although he wasn't alone. So Hampshire then plays at Cas, then it's Finn next against HKR.....I haven't got a problem with Finn, I still think he has something left in the tank, but I can't see how it's helping Miller, and the rest of the team chopping and changing the half backs so often, i'll bet you any money Finn doesn't play next week. icon_eek.gif

Finn did did not do a lot again's St his kicking on the last play was bad. The St win was down to Lyne and Tupu playing out of their skins and the forwards tackling every thing that St through at them in the second half. H k match the two half's from Hk gave us the runabout in the first half , and the score flatted us at the endIf a team is playing bad it's down a lot of the time to the 6 and 7 not. making the right calls . We have won 2 games in about 10 and I think Finn as mist 3 . In the games he mist we were moving forward a lot faster when passing the ball 'and could have won a least 2 of the 3. It's got to be the time to let rocky have a run . What we got to lose as said if the coach does not get a grip it could be bottom 4

So being in involved in 3 out of four tries not doing alot! Were we really watching the same game? At the end of the day we took 2 points from a team who had only lost one game before they played us ! And Finn was calling the shots.

If you just want a scrum half to just pass a ball you are easily pleased .Answer this question how many super league teams would Fin get in at 7 and play the full match Answer one . Why do you think Powell at cas got rid because he could see that age had caught up with him.

A mate of mine, who is a Cas fan, who has also seen a few Fev games over the years said to me, when de signed him, that if you are a side in the bottom half of super league, or top end of championship, he would be a good player, but if you aspire to be bigger than that, we would struggle with him.

Maybe he had a point.

I think we signed him a little too late. A couple of seasons ago, he may have been slightly quicker. Maybe, when Broughy left, rather than messing around loaning Paul Cooke in 2010 and then signing Gareth Moore in 2011, we would have been better off with Finny then.

Personally I dont think that Finns time is up. However my grievance so far this year is the squad rotation that it would appear is just for the sake of it. Surely the benefit to having strength in depth in a squad is that, when a player such as Finn has a bad run of games, you can drop him and give someone else a shot. Equally, when said player plays well, you cant then drop him. Apply this situation to the forwards, full back etc. I would like to see Hampshire given a run of 4-5 games without the pressure of being dropped to give him a prolonged run with miller and then reassess. Same with Max, although it would appear the current injury to Grix has forced Chesters hand somewhat.

The point Eastern Wildcat has made in regards to aspiration is spot on, Finn IMO had a very successful time in the Championship and a fairly impressive 4 years in Super League however these last few weeks have outlined it for me. We need to bring someone in who is a little younger, a little hungrier but also has the experience that Finn has.

The name that matches that is Matt Smith though he is not the dynamic half some of our supporters want.

Funnily enough I had divulged a little bit into Smith but then deleted it, he fits the bill providing he is fit and do believe should we ever find ourselves in a final/big game a player such as Smith could be the difference between winning and losing purely from an experience factor.

Purely hypothetical of course but if Finn was going I’d take Matt Smith. High achiever at Super League level with a point to prove following being pushed out at Saints.

Im not in the get rid of Finn camp. He has his flaws but its not like he has suddenly got slow. Hes been just as slow when he's been outstanding for us.
For me he is suffering with injury and it's affecting him. He needs a rest to get it sorted not a boot out of the club.

Saying that if Cooper Cronk became available then of course we have to look ahead.
I like Smith a lot and would be great for us if the price was right......but if we need him that badly then we might as well get rid of Hampshire too. He's either the guy yo take over so give him a chance or not.

So how about a 23 year old, with something to prove and nearly 100 SL games under his belt? Names Ryan Hampshire and funnily enough, he already plays for us (when given a chance).

The lad who's been stuck at wing, full back, half back and hooker throughout his SL career? Who's currently not doing any better than Finn? Yeah I've seen him.

I like Hampshire but in my eyes he's not a first choice SL scrum half, not yet anyway.

I don't dispute the fact the lad's been used in numerous positions. What gets my goat is the fact we have a talented and hungry young lad, already in the building, yet we get threads and posts about players such as Smith and Sandow. One who is, in my opinion, clearly past his best, and the other who seems to be a complete idiot, who causes no end of trouble, wherever he ends up.
