but a release to a rival NRL club is different to a Super League team.

"We will give him a release to a Super League club ... NRL club, we'll have to give that further consideration."

with the tax issues othe clubs face there can only be a few in with a chance of getting him and surely we're one of them

Don't really know much about him, but I'd guess he's a better option at the moment than a crocked captain and an inconsistent five-eighth.

Get him in.

I would hope the club would make some enquiries if a move to the UK was a possibility. Guess we'll have to wait and see, but I reckon he'll stay in Aus.

Your five-eigth has been one one of your better players.He has been cosistently good every week.Hate to think what the scores may have been without Ben's try assists. Doing alot more than others on the field. Check his stats!
As for Finch, if you want a player who whinges when he doesn't get his own way. Go for it. He wanted out because Daniel Anderson couldn't guarantee him a first grade spot.No player should expect that.

Finch free as a bird Unconditional release from Paramatta so he can sign for any superleague or NRL club.... expect him at Melbourne or St George soon, I doubt he's coming to Odsal.

Jefferies has been good, but we could move him to SH and play Finch at SO. Can't comment too much on his attitude as I only know what I read from the aussie press, but given that we only have two halfs at the club, one seemingly more and more injury prone whilst struggling to regain previous form, and one who can be very inconsistant you would hope we'd be in the market for any decent half back that suddenly became available for no fee. Which even with some issues Finch would surely fall into that category?

Agree he most likely will go to Melbourne or Penrith, because the Storm are playing without a 6, and are playing Cameron Smith there. So maybe they are to buy Finch and put him at 6, with Cronk at 7. The other option is Penrith who are playing Luke Lewis; a loose forward at 7, so Finch will be wanted there. I don't feel he will leave australia yet, since hes still 27 not 30 , still got a career, and i think Bradford should bring up the academy, or even buy someone english? Thought that was the point of this francise.
