Happy with Joffa and Seyfarth the last few weeks, but still think if we got Finucane he would help teach the squad how to compete every set in defence. Absolute maniac.

Not a podcast, but listen to what Bellamy says about him in the in the post game press conference after the Titans game.

Seyfarth appears to be our next lock. We don't need Finucane and from what we know about Seyfarth, he sets very high standards for his own training which I'm sure other players will note. In amongst the disaster yesterday that was our NSW Cup team, young Daniel Sykes came on and started to hit very hard in defence. You could see he has the drive and competitive spirit Gould often refers to in commentary. Why block our good young players with senior players at the backend of their careers?

Did Roosters need Cronk at the back end of his career when they had Pearce?

Ask the Roosters. We don't need Finucane. Let him get his retirement payday elsewhere. Those days should be over at WTs.

I don’t think you have anything to worry about. His valued at the Storm and his potential replacement in the cheese is looking to move on. So I’d say his a lock to resign for a couple of years with the Storm on about 500k a season.

So he’s good enough for Bellamy but not for us ?

Yep. WT fans know more than Bellamy.

That is not the issue. We don't need him and he would block the development and progression of our young players.. The cap is finite and we have positions of greater need to fill as well as a host of good young talent to sign long term.

The question is, do people want Finucane for 800k? Because that's what he's reported to be asking for.

750K per year for 2 years would be good, maybe with a club option. Instant credibility with good players and a culture shift. 100% do it.

Half that, may get him Aloiai grass cutting job.

Cannot for the life of me, see everyone's fascination.

Watching duds at WT for too long mate, ultra consistent, tough, a guy that others want to play with. Tigers always have guys who do the fancy stuff but lack guys like Finucane. He’s a Gareth Ellis.

Now you are joking, he is not fit to lace Ellis's boots up.

Look at his record making grand finals mate, if he’s in your pack you’re going places.

If we managed to sign him for next year he would be 30 going on 31 - Been around for a long time, played a couple of hundred NRL games and 4 for NSW a few years ago and won't get picked again. Yes he won 2 comps with the Storm agreed.

This would be his last contract - is he worth 750k - I don't think so. This would be a Packer, Matulino, Reynolds type signing in my opinion. That is to say WTSRF - "West Tigers Superannuation Retirement Fund" - he is not worth anything like that payment at his age, probably never was. As a leader - non event, Bromich Welch and Smith are the leaders of that Storm pack. I watched him play against the Titans yesterday and was totally underwelmed - it was almost cringe worthy watching him make his runs and get stopped as if shot and then make half a metre PC if he wasn't pushed back.

Personally, I appreciate your enthusiasm for him but I don't think he would be good for us, wouldn't entice anyone else to sign with u s and would just take up a spot in our 30. We have enough good young middle forwards that are only going to get better.

Our opinion on this is poles apart so let’s call it a day, I suspect he’ll stay at Storm and continue to win most weeks anyway.

Yes agreed

Good luck to him - hope he wins many games....with the Storm.

I can’t cop the block the development argument, the chances of us having multiple players of his ability coming through are slim. If they do outplay him then all well and good , he’d be a handy bench forward behind what would be ‘origin quality’ forwards who superseded him.

Seyfarth is playing really well and you want to bump him for a 30 odd year old forward at the end of his career? And then if he can't make the 13, you're going to pay $500k plus to have him sit on the interchange.

In a 30 man squad you can afford to carry both. Teams who win trophies have great depth.

Yeah no idea why people think Finucane coming here would mean Seyfarth would be on the outer... they could easily share the lock role every week. Seyfarth is good but still plenty to work on and we would have two good proper locks in our team. Offa at lock doesn't really offer much ball playing

Finucane has also played on an edge, very solid, versatile player.

When Joe O and Twal can play lock if required? It is a very weak argument especially when we have deficiencies in other areas.

Happy with Joffa and Seyfarth the last few weeks, but still think if we got Finucane he would help teach the squad how to compete every set in defence. Absolute maniac.

Not a podcast, but listen to what Bellamy says about him in the in the post game press conference after the Titans game.

Seyfarth appears to be our next lock. We don't need Finucane and from what we know about Seyfarth, he sets very high standards for his own training which I'm sure other players will note. In amongst the disaster yesterday that was our NSW Cup team, young Daniel Sykes came on and started to hit very hard in defence. You could see he has the drive and competitive spirit Gould often refers to in commentary. Why block our good young players with senior players at the backend of their careers?

Did Roosters need Cronk at the back end of his career when they had Pearce?

Ask the Roosters. We don't need Finucane. Let him get his retirement payday elsewhere. Those days should be over at WTs.

I don’t think you have anything to worry about. His valued at the Storm and his potential replacement in the cheese is looking to move on. So I’d say his a lock to resign for a couple of years with the Storm on about 500k a season.

So he’s good enough for Bellamy but not for us ?

That is not the issue. We don't need him and he would block the development and progression of our young players.. The cap is finite and we have positions of greater need to fill as well as a host of good young talent to sign long term.

I can’t cop the block the development argument, the chances of us having multiple players of his ability coming through are slim. If they do outplay him then all well and good , he’d be a handy bench forward behind what would be ‘origin quality’ forwards who superseded him.

Seyfarth is playing really well and you want to bump him for a 30 odd year old forward at the end of his career? And then if he can't make the 13, you're going to pay $500k plus to have him sit on the interchange.

In a 30 man squad you can afford to carry both. Teams who win trophies have great depth.

When Joe O and Twal can play lock if required? It is a very weak argument especially when we have deficiencies in other areas.

Yeah in Luciano’s defense

The team hasn't shown much in ball playing. That may change with Sheens' arrival. Finucane is a very limited player, at the end of his career and would be expensive.

In attack he’s limited I agree, but our problem is leaking 32-40 points when we play a good team.

As soon as Seyfarth is on he does a lot of ball playing, it's clearly something they want to do. Watch Finucane play he does a lot of ball playing for Melbourne himself he's got good hands.

End of the day I'm not too fussed if we don't get him because our pack is looking good but we've got cash we should look at quality players

A limited player, at end of career and wanting a final payday at our expense. Does this sound familiar eg Packer. A big no thanks he can stay at the Storm.

The only concern is his age ..Finucane is NRL quality you would be mad if you weren't looking at him..by age I mean the amount of cash required compared to what we have in the position...Ofahengaue and especially Seyfarth are performing above their pay grade..there are other areas of the roster that needs the cash more..
