Perhaps he doesn't have a choice in the matter. Maybe his parent club want to send him to Cas?

In relation to Finn, IF he signs I think he will be a good addition to the squad.

Milky does the off the cuff broken field running and taking on the line, Finn provides the guidance and kicking game. If Finn signs he would be a significant improvement on Smith, who some people seem to think was untouchable because of 1 good season before he went to Salford.

It could even be that we have a quality SH lined up and Finn is cover for SH and hooker, it seems a non argument at the moment.

That I could live with

Page 4 and we have not had confirmation of him signing yet ?.

It was said Brian Smiths remit is to lay the foundations for the next 10 years and this team is already looking like one that will give us the start we need. It may not be full of superstars (at the moment) but it certainly has potential.
Given the roller coaster ride of last season i could do with some stability and good fortune and the feelgood factor is definetely here
Cant wait till February.

If we sign Finn he has what we need experience at taking a team round the field simple as I did hear we had spoken to Cooper Cronk but he laughed when we started to talk money as he did with 8 other SL clubs. As for young Hampshire has anyone thought that Brian Smith don't see him as what we want at this moment in time and would not fit into how he wants the side to play.

Anybody who has ever seen Ryan Hampshire play knows that he is exactly what any team needs. I really like Wane, I like the way he plays and sticks with young players and expects them to perform, that said I think that he should have played RH ahead of Smith, Smith is the sort of player that plays well against poor opposition but never quite lives up to the hype in the big games. I thought he cost Wigan the Grand Final and that if Ryan Hampshire had been given a run of games at 7 they would have won some silverware. If Wakey got RH on loan for a season then I would expect us to qualify in top 8.

Thought that was impossible!

How fickle are you.

A top 8 place on the back of a 20yr old kid, have you been sniffing glue?

LSD in large amounts

Just nipped over for a browse to see what is going on in Nutjob land and they have Finn going to Halifax







By the way they are generally not very complimentary about him as a player and plenty are glad to get shut.

It's hard to disagree with your post Bren but, we were stronger than Cas until they got Powell in charge and with Smith at the helm we certainly shouldn't have any kind of inferiority complex.

They may have been stronger than us for the last 2/3 seasons but, we should ALWAYS be aiming to finish above them.

The one thing they have shown is that with a decent coach and plenty of team spirit, you don't need a team of superstars. Their game is all about being well drilled and working hard for each other

We should be looking to do the same.
