| I am sorry but he does slow the game. How many missed tackles, 40/20, penalties given away or breaks has he made. He is playing with broken fingers which cannot help but age is definitely catching up with him.

| His game management is getting slightly worse as well. How many times this season has he kicked for two only for the next set the opposition go down the other end and score 6.

I doubt that it's 100% his decision.

So he needs to be a psychic now as well ??
Equally you could say not taken the 2 and come away empty handed.
I think it's called sods law

| No dont think that part is his fault Wollo, on this one about taking the two, he cant win, as there has been several occasions when we should have taken the two, but didnt.
Im a believer that you should take the points on offer, especially if its kickable, and the game is still in the balance. It might not be the most entertaining, but it is part of game management

I heard it's still down to John Kear holding the famous two fingers up from the 4th tier of the executive boxes.

When it happens again and again you have to question it. Happened at Hull last year too, and Hull were a man down at the time I think.

Sorry but the decision to take the 2 is not down to Finn just because he kicks the goals and to suggest so is baffling.
Whether or not it comes from the coach or his assistants (Which most of the time I think it does, as we have seen many times on Sky the message get passed down to an assistant onto the players on the pitch).
You see players conferring between each other and come to a decision together, if anything it surely should be the leadership group in Kirmond and Miller that take ultimate responsibility for those decisions?

| Quote: wrencat1873 "To say that people want a young hungry half is just ridiculous. Im not bothered how young or old our halves are (or the rest of the side), people want to watch a side that plays open attacking RL and that wins a decent share of their games.
The only advantage of them being young is that, hopefully, they would have many more years to give the game.
Having said that, Finn isnt getting any younger and he's in the twilight of his career and what Trinity do need is a successor, to take on the role of HB.'"
So you haven't read all the other comments then?

| Ry21 obviously has some fantasy/obsession with Rocky, he's a decent RL player but I don't want him has the first choice HB at our club.

As a halfback, no. I think there is better available and if we ever want to push forward as a club we need better.
I'd trial him at FB over Jowitt whilst Grixy is out.

I wouldn't put him anywhere near FB - we have one the best FB's in SL available, with one of the most promising up and coming FB's in SL to replace him; the last thing Jowitt, or WT, need is for him to be even further away from the field due to an 'experiment' - that has in fact already been tried at Wigan and Cas, where it proved to be a failure.
Hampshire is a HB - he's either good enough at SL level, or he isn't; personally, I think the latter, but from limited evidence - and it's Chester's unenviable task to find out, without damaging our delicate league position.
On Finn - I would tend to agree, he looks to be struggling; whether that's injury or age, or both, is down to him and once again, Chester to work out.
Hard job being a coach innit - and this forum is proof positive that 99% of people who watch RL as a spectator wouldn't have a bleedin' clue how to even begin to do it.

What the hell is promising about Max Jowitt? He adds nothing more than Grix does in attack. He can't catch a ball nor tackle. If you want to take a promising and up coming player, Danny Richardson at Saints... keeping out an experienced grand final winning halfback from the side where as the so called promising and up coming FB for WT cannot get a game
