Another report says he'll be back with another NRL club within a fortnight. Had a bust-up with Daniel Anderson, allegedly.

Part of this booze RL situation in Aus. He came out and said boozing was part of the character of the game and should continue.

Linked with Huddersfield apparently. But that has been the case for pretty much every free agent.

We'd be bonkers not to put an offer in!

Hope we do.

I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't sign to be fair.

I'm pretty sure we have the cap space.

Finch to leave Eels "Fresher reports are also claiming that Finch has no intention of moving overseas, preferring to find a fourth home in the NRL and that both Penrith and St George Illawarra are the leading early candidates to sign him." Whilst I would be hugely disappointed if we didn't at least make an approach with a class half back being a priority for us, I also dont think we should hold our breath. I think at least 6 NRL clubs have now been linked to him and Im not sure we are a more attractive proposition than Melbourne, Penrith, St George etc??

Possibly the pull of playing with Beaver may help?

Well what right minded young man would reject a chance to play with Beaver?
