Official Dale Finucane

[HaroldBishop]

Magnificent.

Gal retired at 37, I back Finucane in to still be effective at 35.

Very different game now though. Still a great signing.

 

[SJH]

Averages out at $625k a year, it’s a steal especially compared to dogs paying TPJ $100k more a year.

Well done Sharks in getting it across the line, I said a week or two back in the rumour thread we needed to think outside the square & offer the 4, even better, I said 2.7, we saved 200k & got him for 2.5

Seems Finucane wouldn’t laugh at that offer

He will be fine til 33 minimum.

 

[Thresher]

Wow. Welcome big fella!

TPJ is more athletically better, faster, agile & can turn a game but does ir very sporadically, The Fin turns up every game & goes about his week, season with zero BS, I’d take him over TPJ every day of the week.

Lovely!

Would have preferred 3 years for sure, but we desperately needed him.

A few weeks back many on here were happy to pay $850k per yr for 3 yrs. Another way to look at it, pay for 3 at what we where discussing and got 4th yr free.

Finucane, McInnes and Hynes - I don't recall a better single year of recruiting in a while, if ever.

Lewis, Maloney, Ennis were all amazing but they weren't over a single year.

Wow Fitzgibbon is doing something, I can already tell Fitzgibbon is going to help us big time. Looking forward to seeing all these guys next year, welcome to the Sharks!

 

[MMsharks]

happy
very solid signing
Well done Sharks

I did doubt a while back there.

Welcome to Dale!

It's been announced by us & now Melbourne so it's obviously official now. https://www.melbournestorm.com.au/news/2021/07/25/finucane-to-farewell-storm-at-end-of-2021/

stoked with this signing. 4 years may seem long but no doubt on the back end of the contract and probably even beginning next year the experience he will bring to younger players is worth the money.

 

[Sparkles]

Dang...!
I don't mind the 4 years at that price if it's front loaded a bit. And these types of guys add a lot of value on and off the park, which we really need for our young forwards. Great stuff!

Snap!

He is going to be so good for our young forwards.

The combined influence of Fitz, Fin, and Gal, (if we still have him on the coaching team), will bring a hard edge.

Tpj is also a ****head of a person and will be lucky to see the end of his contract

Yep i feel like his appointment will be huge in the development of Toby and BHU also

 

[Mr Ryan]

I still can’t believe we let John Morris go so we could sign these good players

 

[CrazyMatt]

Riccio just tweeted that we only went to a fourth year to ward off interest from the Tigers and Dragqueens. The fourth year is worth $320k. Good business I feel.
