No it doesn't, Rovers could have offered a similar or even slightly less amount than wigan. Finch knows Justin and is good mates with clint so that could be in his mind from a settlement point of view. Maybe privately he wasn't a fan of mcguires coaching methods at the storm? Not everyone is motivated by money

Empathy mode:

To Hull fans the prospect of playing for the 'dirty reds', on the wrong side of town in front of 'inbreds' and alongside 'thuggish cowards' is deeply unappealing and only a the worst type of mercenary would whore away his talent in such a way. Therefore we only sign bad 'uns. In contrast, players are attracted to a 'big club' like Hull FC by the wonderful stadium, 'brilliant fans' and the famous shirt, so are much more likely to represent value for money.

Our perspective is different, only in that it is reversed. Neither is particularly realistic or useful for anything more that bottom of the barrell banter.

finch has agreed to sign I was told today. Also told you've no interest in Lima

Don't know about Finch agreeing to sign but we need a six so hopefully true. Not being interested in Lima seems the most likely as well. Can't see the logic in trying to get round the quota system to sign a player when its an area the uk is reasonably strong in.

THink that Finch would be an excellent signing for you. I hope that he doesn't come!

heard today that finch cud be here for the play offs........

dearie me

I heard today that Frank Lampard was in line to win Player of the Tournament at the World Cup.................

ok yu may mock

Not impossible given that Galea and Newton could come off quota and we've got enough cash spare from cookes wage but lets be honest it's improbable at the very best
