I am not a big fan of Liam Finn.
Didn't do much for us last time,maybe that is partly due to the fact that he came from a struggling side that got relegated, to us who always were earmarked for relegation.
After a bit of thinking, i don't think if he signs should be used just as a half back, i believe he could do a job at hooker.
The modern game, unless you are an exceptional talent, requires the player to be versatile and a club like Wake needs quite a few utility players to get value for money.

Pudsey Cat makes a good point. I'd prefer not to clean up but just get back on track.
We are talking about our potential new half back. Let's keep to it.

Personally I'd be ok with Liam Finn. It's not all about the individual but more how he fits in the team dynamic. We haven't had a running scrum half for a while anyway so no loss.

If he can take the tram around the park with McShane and Wildie we have others who can run.


Deryck Fox and Paul Deacon always did ok with a passing and kicking game. No sprint from them.

I assumed we were all amatures, i have yet to see a SL coach on here telling us how to go on.
Just saying.

That's what you think

Well possibly!!!

God help us if Finn is our 7, old and slow and a pretty average near poor kicking game.

To step up to Super League at 30 would be a big ask of him.

Of all positions to debate, I'm inclined to believe Agar will get a good fit for the team at half back.
He was pretty good himself without being Andrew Johns and knows what is needed.

You can see that is why he likes a big pack. As a half back that is very important to you.
I can't imagine he will build a team and then just settle for anything in this position.

If it's Finn, I assume Agar has considered the decision and chosen who he thinks is best.
Depends who is out there. I'm sure he wants it sorting soon.

Would be tempted to see If any of the Bulls half backs come free. The board wanted them to take à 10% cut players refused and offered to defer their wages but board said no. Could some walk for free just get off wage bill.

As jack in the box said, if they won’t take a 10% pay cut at Bradford they unlikely to agree to possibly even less money to sign for Trinity.

Reduced contract and a bonus if we stay up?

Bradford could offer the same, they may have already. The players say no deal.

I think you guys need more at half back than a 33 year old centre and a 30 year old with limited SL experience.

Cream over your pack all you want, yeah it's shaped up pretty well, but you won't win very many games without quality in the halves.

Each hour that passes is an hour nearer the season and less and less will become available. Sykes and Finn would be basically sound, but painfully slow and have virtually no flair.

To say lacking pace and flair is fine as long as you kick well is a very naive way of looking at the sport. Leeds do the "5 drives and kick" game plan very well but they'd still a golden boot winner playing half back all year, cause it sounds WAAAAY easier than what it is. To think you can get Finn and Sykes to do that at the top level and "grind out results" ....well, good luck I suppose

Bring back Finn would be as daft as bringing back Tiger handforth. Infact whilst we are in such a stupid mindset lets also consider Paul March if he's still in training.

Another expert - and I thought I was the only one

Why bag a player before he even starts - I don't get it. Further to that we have had more success with Finn type players than any other. In fact Sykes was one of those and to use your expression people were creaming themselves over him after a few games. Teams shape up in all sorts of strange ways.
