NRL great Cameron Smith believes his former Storm teammate Dale Finucane would be the perfect leader for the Wests Tigers to put them on the “right track”.

Finucane boasts an impressive career with Melbourne, playing in six grand finals and winning two premierships, many question why on earth a player of his calibre would even consider heading to Leichhardt during such a tough period.

Cameron Smith believes the answer is because the Storm captain could lead as the “perfect example” for the Tigers.

“Talking along the lines of the Tigers fans craving a guy to lead them, perfect example Dale Finucane,” said Smith on SEN 1170 Breakfast.

“He is a man that lives and breathes rugby league,

“And is someone that you would just chuck into that system and go, 'Hey boys follow this man right now, do what he does every day and we’ll be on the right track'.”

Finucane is off contract at the end of the 2021 season and a move to the struggling Tigers may not be too far fetched.

The great Cammy's comments belong in the Finucane thread..

Cooper has said it ...Cam has said it ...yet the nuffies in charge of the WT's can't see it

If that isn't proof to any person that our recruitment and retention that we are so off the mark in these areas .....nothing will .....

Buy a touching plaque ...bury us now please .....RIP WT's 1999 -2025 ......

So we should pay $900k+ for 3-4years?

No 850 Year 1 , 800 Yr 2 , 700 Yr 3 , Incentive based contract Yr 4 in our favour

But as I have said many times now .....he is similar to Gallen and keeps himself in immaculate condition ...no reason he can't get 4 years ...,.

Sorry fat fingers lol I meant to hit $800k+, I think that is a bit much

My points were questions ......

You mentioned about the players with 100-150 NRL games experience

Any one remotely exciting and what we need ???

I don't know who they are targeting at present, with the Chammas article it could be anyone/

It was on the latest Fan Club item/ poster .....sorry forgotten the name of group .....

What I was told is that the club is targeting players in that 100-150 game range to build the experience around the young guys, I wasn't told specific targets in that conversation.. The wording was interesting because the line used was "you are not an NRL player until you have played 100 NRL games" That is a variation on an old Tim Sheens saying so I think that advice may have come from Tim.

Just reading TPJ Bronco’s profile, he was to achieve a 100 games this year, I guess the suspension won’t let that happen, but it’s close enough?

To get a player of 100-150 games you’d have to be looking at someone that has been in the league for about 5-7years
Finucane is what 211 games in been in the league since 2012 so about 10 years.
On average you would get to 210 games in about 9.
His over the quota but interestingly 18 games on 2018 and 15 games last year. This year looking like about 18-19 games so he’ll be at 220 games by the end of the season.
If his firing he could make 300 with a 4 year deal.

He is a Luke Lewis or beau Scott type player who we must at least go hard for

He signed before Ennis?

He signed there because gould was kicking out all the older over paid players at panthers.

Lewis and Michael Gordon from memory were both kicked out.

“He is a man that lives and breathes rugby league,

“And is someone that you would just chuck into that system and go, 'Hey boys follow this man right now, do what he does every day and we’ll be on the right track'.”

Finucane is off contract at the end of the 2021 season and a move to the struggling Tigers may not be too far fetched.

The great Cammy's comments belong in the Finucane thread..

Cooper has said it ...Cam has said it ...yet the nuffies in charge of the WT's can't see it

If that isn't proof to any person that our recruitment and retention that we are so off the mark in these areas .....nothing will .....

Buy a touching plaque ...bury us now please .....RIP WT's 1999 -2025 ......

So we should pay $900k+ for 3-4years?

No 850 Year 1 , 800 Yr 2 , 700 Yr 3 , Incentive based contract Yr 4 in our favour

But as I have said many times now .....he is similar to Gallen and keeps himself in immaculate condition ...no reason he can't get 4 years ...,.

Sorry fat fingers lol I meant to hit $800k+, I think that is a bit much

My points were questions ......

You mentioned about the players with 100-150 NRL games experience

Any one remotely exciting and what we need ???

I don't know who they are targeting at present, with the Chammas article it could be anyone/

It was on the latest Fan Club item/ poster .....sorry forgotten the name of group .....

What I was told is that the club is targeting players in that 100-150 game range to build the experience around the young guys, I wasn't told specific targets in that conversation.. The wording was interesting because the line used was "you are not an NRL player until you have played 100 NRL games" That is a variation on an old Tim Sheens saying so I think that advice may have come from Tim.

Just reading TPJ Bronco’s profile, he was to achieve a 100 games this year, I guess the suspension won’t let that happen, but it’s close enough?

To get a player of 100-150 games you’d have to be looking at someone that has been in the league for about 5-7years
Finucane is what 211 games in been in the league since 2012 so about 10 years.
On average you would get to 210 games in about 9.
His over the quota but interestingly 18 games on 2018 and 15 games last year. This year looking like about 18-19 games so he’ll be at 220 games by the end of the season.
If his firing he could make 300 with a 4 year deal.

He is a Luke Lewis or beau Scott type player who we must at least go hard for

I was thinking about the sharks. Lewis was the circuit breaker wasn’t he?
He signed before Ennis?

Louie first I believe

He signed there because gould was kicking out all the older over paid players at panthers.

Lewis and Michael Gordon from memory were both kicked out.

Wade Graham was another

no point in over spending just 2 land a big name,times r tight,sooner or later that big name will land at our feet

In life if this is how it tends to work out isn't it. This is why I think we should be pretty tough what we will pay in relation to marquee talent. At some point in the next 50 years we will come good and I'll be there.

I'll be there in spirit ...haunting @Geo and @hobbo1

NRL great Cameron Smith believes his former Storm teammate Dale Finucane would be the perfect leader for the Wests Tigers to put them on the “right track”.

Finucane boasts an impressive career with Melbourne, playing in six grand finals and winning two premierships, many question why on earth a player of his calibre would even consider heading to Leichhardt during such a tough period.

Parallels are uncanny.

Luke Lewis - 209 games prior to going to Cronulla

Beau Scott- 200 games before going to Parramatta

Dale Finucane- 211 games currently.

Nah Wade moved for opportunity he was probably

Dale Finucane 3 years $ 800 k per year is a strong player and leader

Wants $950K pa....no thanks

That is insane money, for effectively a good member of a forward pack, not a damaging runner or especially lethal tackler, just someone who gets through the work.
***Where has that figure come from?***
What is he believed to be on at the storm?

It was posted here from Willow last night from a good source and backs up The Poms version that Finucane isnt serious about coming here and we arent his first or even second choice.

Apparently Finucane told Michelle Bishop today that there are 8 clubs.

Im so glad to hear that about 8 clubs chasing him..but I dont believe it for a moment..
...all part of the BS from the media as to why our ole buddy Dale wld be a great fit for WTs at just $950k for 3 years blah blah...
He HAS BEEN a great workhorse,no more no less,but honestly isnt close to being a game changer at his peak & at this stage of his career wldnt make the top 6 most valuable forwards at the Storm(Smith,Grant,Welch,Asofa,Jessie Bromwich,Kaufusi)..which is why hes out for a final payday
.... am sure hoping it wont be us!

Your right.
Yes Dale Finucane seems like a good player.
Storm have 6 work horses, infact with the bench and recruitment they have more. Dale at 800k is overpriced. 950k no

Yet can he give us what we want?
Defense!
I dont know. I dont think 1 player can fix this. I think he could help and YES if signed Frontload him to the Max! Happy to suffer in 2022 if 2023 means we make the 8.

I think though Defense needs a whole team defense. If you want to pin a crazy idea, pin this:
Coach swap, Michael McGuire for Ricki Stuart. Ricki is one of the best defensive coaches in the league. Michael floggs us hard but cant work out our defensive issues.

We need a defensive coach and we dont have many options:
Bellamy, not happening.
Bennett, probably no chance in hell.

Below that is Ricki Stuart or Flanagan. (Or worse.)

COWBOYS UP THE ANTE FOR ORIGIN STAR

North Queensland is desperate to lure NSW’s State of Origin forward Dale Finucane to Townsville next season.

Finucane has a number of offers to mull over as he decides where his rugby league future lies.

Melbourne is keen to keep him but the Storm realise that may not be possible due to salary cap constraints.

The Tigers, Bulldogs, and Cowboys are other clubs said to be keen on him.

Brent Read told Triple M the Cowboys are ramping up their efforts to sign him.

“It’s been well documented they put a two-year deal on the table for Dale Finucane. I’ve spoken to them this week, they’ve reached out to Finucane’s camp and let him know they are willing to go to three years now,” Read said.

“He’s got a few clubs after him. Melbourne has put an offer in, he’s been linked to the Wests Tigers, he’s been linked with Canterbury a few other clubs.

“The Cowboys are now willing to go to three years as a means to entice him across the line and get him to Townsville.

“Initially Dale’s management wanted a four-year deal, on huge money, that was never going to happen. Some clubs were talking about two years.”
