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

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

Quote: bren2k "As I said some weeks ago when Vasty raised this - I'd be happy with Finn; he's a solid, steady player who can do exactly what we need - guide the team, dictate the plays and provide a foil for Miller's duracel bunny style of hb play.

And all this Cas reject nonsense has got to stop; when will people realise that CAS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN US?! Of course we'll get players from them - partly due to geography, but also due to the fact that someone who isn't quite good enough for Cas could easily be good enough for us; they're a top half of the table team - we're cellar dwellers, looking to improve.'"


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.

That was the quality that Peter Fox had when he coached the old Bradford Northern years ago. No real stars but a 'team' who worked for each other.

They're even less positive about Ryan Hampshire. Can't believe he'd want to play for fans who generally don't have a positive thing to say about him.

With Finn we would get a player who can kick goals and has a great kicking game taking pressure off Miller. Our kicking game was appalling last season and we missed Sykes from the year before

Yep, Finn may not be the 'marquee' signing but people have to ask themselves, if the option is to take Finn or T.Smith, who would you take?

We want players who play with heart n commitment every game and are a good example to kids on AND off the pitch.

Exactly and I know what your first post was all about, I was agreeing with you.
Finn would probably cost about half of T.Smith but be twice the value.

Sadly you can only get so far with heart and commitment, you name me a team in SL who did well without any skill players. Negative I know but also the truth, we all remember the five drives and a kick that dogged Kear towards the end and how many of us want to go back to that.

Yeah n too many times last year there were players out there who lacked the heart n commitment n look where it got us. Miller for instance has the skill and can use to max if he is relieved of the pressure of kicking for field position etc

Quote: terrykelly "Don't worry, the club are waiting till you know you will definitely be in the 'middle 8's' then you are going to recruit properly, a'la 2015 !
Joking aside, your owner/directors have no aspirations of the top 8, just the glory of 'staying' in SL, via THAT mini-league.'"

Are you going to keep this up all next season. It's getting boring now.

Liam Finn has 12 months left on his contract hasn't he ? Unless Cas are signing a TOP half back, surely Finn's kicking game alone, is worth a few points a season. Guess he's a bit like Leigh's (our) Martin Ridyard, not the quickest, but his brain makes up for it...BIG style ! icon_biggrin.gif

Quote: Prince Buster "Just nipped over for a browse to see what is going on in Nutjob land and they have Finn going to Halifax
I think you are being very selective about which bits of the nutjob thread you read. I for one was very supportive when we signed Finn. He's done a fantastic job at leading us around the field and his stats speak for themselves. Maybe we are getting a bit ahead of ourselves at Cas but Gale and Roberts are a match for any halves in SL Luke Dorn is a quality replacement and if rumours of Hampshire signing are true then Finn would only get games as a replacement hooker (he's done a good job there before) He's the type of signing that an astute coach would look at, a good player that finds better players ahead of him. Please don't think I'm saying we are far in front of Wakey, we just have a glut of good halves.
