Wrong.

Always rated Finn. Not quick, but unlike Lilley, he can defend. A far better rugby brain too. No comparison.

Connor Bailey is a better prospect than Lilley and, I hope, will be better than Finn too (there a "better" players than Finn, who would die to have the career he has had).

Fair enough except for the last bit.

If they were as good or better than Finn they would have had as good or a better career than him. What you say makes no sense to me.

Is Lilly better than what we have ?

Yes, he has some good games but, he's also had some shockers, especially when he was at Leeds.
As with most newcomers at the big clubs, he was lauded as a future superstar but, unfortunately he wasn't anything close.
Comments, comparing his pace with that of Finn are ridiculous, especially as Finn is what, 10 years + older and Finn succeeded with his guile and brain and
a damn good kicking game.
Not saying he's a bad player but, if your going to have a young HB, he wants to have some pace.
As others have suggested, pace can not be manufactured, you either have it or, you dont.
Many other skills will improve but, over the course of time, pace goes one way, slower.

Still only 23 I think Fisher is right, he's under the right guidance with JK and might be picked up by a SL side in the coming years however I hope we're not the ones to sign him.

Despite a great game against us in the cup, I think there is better out there hence Leeds letting him move on.

You could argue with yourself!

When saying there are "better" players than Finn (and I put it in quotation marks in my post), who haven't had the career he has, I am agreeing with YOUR assertion that he is under-rated.

Anyone would have looked good against us that day, we were awful. Bulls played their CF that day and still lost which makes me think that they were ordinary and we made them look better than what they were. Good half’s don’t come round regular so agree that Lilley is playing in the right team in the championship.
