Dale Finucane

[851]

Finucane should be prioritised. We need a pack leader, a war horse.

~550k/year over 4 years plus a guaranteed job after his playing days should get him over the line. For memory he was studying one of the health sciences and may have even graduated a few years ago.

Paying more than other clubs don’t work for us, offering $300k a season less than other offers will make us look even worse

Agree mate its all we can do. The Nofo one was poor. Adding to the fact we now signed big Ken, we now have two wingers signed till end of 2024 and 2025 respectfully, blocking any pathway for anyone else. If someone else does break through, we have a well paid winger in reserve grade.

Hopefully if we land 1-2 (even if a bit overpaid) and they come off, it will entice more players to do so. Knights and Dogs overpaid Burton/Ponga without much experience as a gamble, we might need to do the same.

It hasn't worked for either of those teams yet.

I’m just saying, I’d take Kalyn Ponga in a heartbeat. He’s definitely worked out for the Knights and will only get better with more experience

Still haven't made the 8 with him.

Last year slip your mind

lol yep, must have been from trying to forget that horrible year.

St George in at $850k for 3 years. A 29yo who whilst very handy, is not far away from hitting the wall pretty hard in my opinion.

If the drag queens want to put that sort of money into a contract which is basically 1/11th of the cap, be my guest. Ridiculous money….

I'm usually pretty good with that sort of stuff but even now its no where in my mind they played finals lol. A little bit dementia setting in maybe.

We missed out on an impact player this week, so we need to settle for incontinence now?
... Finucane is a grinder, I think we have a pack full of grinders - we blew it.

It is . For a bloke that Craig Bellamy respects enough to make him club captain

Come on people wake up and smell the roses. We give blokes that much money to sit on the bench , leave games at half time cos their foot is cold, play reserve grade.

Can’t cop Dale Finucane bashers on here, the bloke has probably never let a soft try in like our guys do weekly, and he plays in NRL grand finals most years. Let’s be real.

Maybe not, but at $850k a year for 3 years, tell him he's dreaming

And keep paying Luke Garner. Depressing.

With all due respect champ im not bashing Finucane at all.
All i said is its alot of money.
But , If we were to go after him and get him on something like 650 , 700 then it sounds abit more plausible. For two years and maybe a third in clubs favour.
In other words Packers deal to go straight to Finucane since Packer is done after this year.

To pay 150 overs for a guy that completely shifts the reputation of our club would be nothing. How do I contribute

Not sure what you mean but Finucane at $850k is madness.

Yeah mate lets be real. Ok, its a 50/50 call. He is great now. But he is 29. Finucane is a quality player, would love to have him here - but for $850k a season, maybe 5 years ago. He will always give his all but when you look at a Stefano on $266k a year, I know where I would prefer to spend the funds.

You can get Finucane and upgrade Stef. It’s a 9-10 million dollar cap. Well the good clubs can have more than one good player, somehow we can’t.

That I agree with, I don't know the answer.
