I was initially concerned about the 4 year deal but I've been persuaded by reading this thread.

Great work by the club. Our club has sorely lacked a forward leader over the past 4 years and with a very young pack he's the perfect signing. Hopefully he can lead the way and set a great example for players like BHU, Pele, Williams and Toby.

Riccio is reporting that year 4 of the deal is actually 320k so the first 3 years will be higher. Either way it is great business.

Luke Lewis was the same age when we signed him.
If true, that is some smart business. Provides cap flexibility which is essential for keeping the flow of quality players coming.

Finucane signature, I can't wait to see the development of Jack Williams and Toby Rudolf having Finucane around
That's the real benefit. Finucane is a very good player but more importantly he is a winner who is a total professional. He brings the grit and toughness the club was known for but has lost in recent years.

Bellamy says he puts the most into his recovery and prep of any player That is Gallen like.

Amazing stuff

8. Uele
9. McInnes
10. Toby
11. Wilton
12. Wade/Takakai
13. Finucane

14. Brailey

?

I'd think Finucane is here to play prop and McInnes at 13.. really well balanced pack with that added to Talakai, Rudolf, BHU, Wilton, Graham etc

I'm liking the figures.
Finucane current SOO rep @ $625 (averaged over 4 years)
Hynes $600
McInnes &550

See the common denominator, no overs whatsoever.
Building a club to be at, not a club to cash grab.
Very positive stuff.

Without trying to make a like for like comparison this is pleasing.

Finucane $625k for Woods $600k = $25k
Hynes $600k for Dugan $850k = $250k
McInnes $550k for Johnson $1m = $450k

Net saving on 3 positions $675k. For way better quality!

That's covering the upgrades easily with still some over

Then there's still Chad money, Xerri money (I think), a host of low end contract money

There's the war chest I talk about
