If we don't bring in a proven 6 (which is what we need to get to the next level)which I hope we do, then lets bite the bullet and try a young un like bell or even hardcastle if we can get some more bulk on them in the off season.
Never seen Kristian Bell hope he is as good as you say.
I think he will be introduced when the time is right, as was Liam Watts. Three whole years and a spell on loan at Gateshead before Watts became an overnight sensation.
Finch is a solid NRL player who has never made the step up to State of Origin or test level. I think Wigan have made a major error because if Sam Tompkins was on our books I wouldn't want to shove him out to another position to accomodate Finch.
Tomkins is a blinding talent to Finch's everyday efficiency. I think Finch would have been more useful to Rovers, and Rovers more useful to him.
I confidently predict Wigan will fare less well next year than they have this, despite or more accurately because of their influx of middle tier Melbourne Storm imports.
Wigan should be building their team around Tomkins not shoving him aside for Finch.
