I watched Finn closely in the RLWC and saw nothing at all from him. I know we're not in a position to be picky, but I honestly think we can do better and I would back our club and their connections to come up trumps - they have so far with the signings we have made!
Phil I get your point I really do. However we have limited resources and the game has not changed that much - packs win games.
Not sure why we'd be mullered, as I said with a strong pack that tackles well pace is not the be all and end all. Well just have to get used to slogging it out and winning close games.
To me Agar's signings have that logic written all over them - and IMHO he's absolutely right.
I'll wager you a tenner that if we sign Finn he'll be a success (in relative terms)

I'd be happy to take you up on that - as I couldn't lose really and you may even have to join me for a pint to celebrate!

You'll lose but I'll take the pint.
I will PM you as regards getting in touch. However I warn you I don't have access to free printing at the moment (though that may change next year) so I may not be able to help you with much.

| Finn has his limitations, but he's a known quailty, he offers a decent kicking game and plenty of experience. Can't be costing a fortune, so on paper worth having around, ie. another option. Hopefully he'll be just that an option and we'll be signing of another half back as well. Maybe the oppertunity to take a risk on someone else? Could Wildie be cover for hooker or Scrum half? Sykes and Finn as the main option can't be the only option.

Tim Smith is one of the best passers of the ball in the game IMHO but couldn't tackle and could have taken the line on more often.
Liam Finn if signed could be looked at as a back up for scrum half/hooker to Wildie and Mcshane? With Wildie playing at 7? On Fev website he is referred to as a hooker.

As per usual. It's quite sad actually and symptomatic why this forum is going down the pan. No skin off my nose, there's more to life. I'll be giving the place a wide berth from now on, the idiot can take over the asylum again.

| Still no news regarding Kay other than he's rejected a contract offer. Some have suggested he's signed for Leigh yet they have not announced it. What ever he, or his agent, was wanting theres a decent chance it will be comparable or even less than what the alternatives are likely to want, particularly if they're coming over from Australia

The forum is going down the pan because one person disagreed with you?

It is funny how the forum world allows the anonymous and petulant child in all of us to come out.
to be fair i think it is a great release from the pressures of life and is far less damaging than kicking the dog or arguing with your partner.
and the anonimity allows you not to take it personally ... I am going to go away now and read all about gestalt......

| IMO the forum has been good recently with lots of optimism and positivity. Glad agent XIII isn't here any more and no negativity in every post by a couple of others. Long may it continue

The lad expressed his opinion on a potential signing and what the team needs. He never forced it down anyone's neck as been fact. I do think this reply was ott.
On finn I would see no harm in him signing as backup for pivot positions. I don't have him down as key player material but would be more than happy if he proves me wrong.

TBH i think it would be a poorer forum without your views, so if its' going down the pan you ain't helping.
Merry Xmas Theboyem.

See that's how I see you, I just don't like you - I see you as a serial moaner. All you do is throw tantrums and then expect others to put it right. Sorry but I just can't be doing with you.
See that's the problem with forums - the "idiots" that's me get to say what we want and that really winds up the self important.
