Dale Finucane

[mike]

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….

You have got to be kidding , thats huge money.

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.

take him out of that storm system he will not be as good

A projection people are making based on??? Adam Blair 8 years ago.

the guy is 29 in a tough position wanting 3 years the juice is dry
move on to someone else

He actually wants 4 years but no one is offering that.

Offer 650k over 3 with a 4th in clubs favour.

We aren't offering anything.

6 clubs have offers on the table for him and we aren't one of them.

It would appear we aren't interested ?

Club probably too afraid of the media only smashing the Tigers when he chooses anyone but us. Don't make an offer, can't get rejected.

Probably hey.

I think we need to be asking about Hudson Young and Joe Tapine.
Then seeing if Lomax wants a fresh start.

We have an Mbye to offer.
Also some cash to spend.

 

[Furious1]

Yeah i'm pretty sure there is no offer from us, but even if there was, i would be happy it's not being mentioned.

Any or all of those 3 would be amazing and exactly what we need.

 

[momo_amp_medo]

Still a no from me. Not worth anything like 850k now (was he ever?)

The last few games I've seen him play were not that great (including SOO).

Pass.

Agree ….. NOT a +$800k player.
A good forward that might give you 2 years good service.
But no more overpriced nervous nellies purchases please.

Apparently Cowboys have offered Finucane $600K a season for 3 years.
That seems like about what he is worth at this stage of his career.

600k for three years Is a good deal

 

[TigerNeddyK]

So Finucane is deciding this week and looks around 600k for 3 years is the going rate. Why have we not got our hand in this at that price ?? He would prefer Sydney over other places so Cows and Titans might be his last resort.. I would have him for 600k for 3 years

If the club tells everyone that they are chasing him, they get told they shouldn’t say anything.
If they don’t tell everyone their idiots?
TBH, I would rather just get a surprise if we sign him, these long drawn out negotiations are a health hazard?

It is, it’s like reliving my late teens with the constant knock backs after heaps of ground work and propositions only to see them end up happily signed with someone else! ?

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

What’s with these players and there wages. I mean TPJ at $750, Finucane at $850k. Thanks but no thanks. Developing juniors it is.

 

[rex2ce]

He isn't my first pick but the way i look at it is we offer the 650 over three. My reason is it's basically packer money but should produce alot more. Him added with tamou next year gives us two hard working forwards that will lead the way on and off the field. Our dynamic stuff can hopefully come from our young fellas coming through like Lucy, Stefano, tuki, blore etc.

Someone said we were told not to bother putting in a bid for him

WT tax extra 150-250k cause media and player managers hate us

 

[Milky]

He’s not going to be the difference between winning a premiership and not winning one in his time here, he won’t attract other players, he’s old, he isn’t the kind of player thats needed to guide younger players…let this one go

 

[Aesopian]

If he came here he'd eventually catch the "Plodder Virus"...

It's our curse. Plodderism is highly infectious within our walls

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Geez he is old gets used alot, he is 3yrs younger than Tamou who we have him for another 2yrs.

The reality is we go after the shiny objects rather than the true players who we need that will make a difference. We have zero chance because a player like Dale is just to good for our club plain and simple. He is professional, isn’t an injury risk and plays 100% week in week out - his motor still has plenty of legs in it for a few years to come. He isn’t our type of player & wonder why.

Agree
Also we only have Tamou for next year so only a 2 year deal total.

I'd take him no problems but not on the amount that he wants.

Still 2 years, 3yr Dale term would be younger than Tamou when he finishes.

I agree 850k is silly cash but he is a 600-700k forward especially now TPJ was valued at 600-650k.
