It's not a reason to sign him, but hasn't Mossop had a rough time personally recently? Didn't his young child die? That's bound to have a serious impact on his enthusiasm.

As for Springer, he always seems full of great bursts in short spells but he doesn't have that consistent grind you get with players like England.

I've heard Wakey are trying their best to get Pauli Pauli and are waiting on his decision. Think that would he would be a good catch if it came off. However, I do think that they need to concentrate on a securing a quality half-back to replace Sam Williams. Someone to work well alongside Miller as although Finn has got a rugby brain he is just far too slow.

Quite a few have said the same about Michael Dobson and Luke Walsh.

I've come to terms with Finny's speed. All his other skills out way that issue.
I consistently proves that his speed between the ears is good enough.
Unless we are signing Cooper Cronk, Finny is the guy for us.
We just need a young keen backup for cover.

They do outweigh his pace granted, but I have noticed a few times, where he has created a gap for himself, but just hasn't been quick enough to get through that gap before he has been closed down.

As we have seen this year, the difference between winning and losing can be a fine line. That split second bit of pace could well make a lot of difference

Isn't that how it's supposed to work, he makes the gaps Miller and co. exploit them.

It's a no for me for Sam Hopkins...think we already have better.

I hope that Trinity sign Pauli Pauli who can play second row or prop and hopefully with his size at 6 foot 4 and 19 stone would be a great impact player off the bench adding even more grunt to the pack for next season.

But with the likes of Miller, Wood, Randell, Grix, Jowitt + hopefully a young intern from the academy like Ackroyd all quick enough to exploit any gaps down the middle, why do we need to rely on Finn having pace? Until we can either: A) buy a world class halfback (not likely) or B) train up and rely on a young local half (much more likely) then Finn is the man for me. I'd like to think he'll start to move towards more of a coaching role over this season too

Finn has always been like that so what - do you think if Finn was blessed with pace he would have speant most of his career in the Championship.

Be happy we have such a smart player who makes other players look better than they are.

In what way was Williams faster than Finn? If he was he didn't show it. Tim Smith was possibly even slower than Fin yet nobody obsessed o that - it's a red herring peddled by Barry mac because he's got nothing better to say,

What makes me smile is Eastern says Finny is too slow, but is quite happy for us to sign Jamie Ellis from Hull KR.

Eastern seems happpy for us to sign anyone judging by all the names he has put on here

This board is becoming more laughable by the minute

Why?

In the 6 or so years I have been a member I wouldnt say I have mentioned transfer rumours any more than the next person to be honest.

At the end of the day this is a forum where people are allowed to give their opinion, without been abusive, maybe only some opunions count as being valid.

The constant bickering between fellow supporters, some more particular than others, has become quite tiresome.
