Dale Finucane Appreciation Thread

[bluefox68]

Just listened to some of ‘The Captain’s Run’ (Bloke in a Bar) with Denan Kemp and Cameron Smith…

1. C. Smith is actually a nice guy!!!!!

2. He claims that, for the last 6 years, the Storm have built their entire team around Finucane…

Mate - I am so excited for this year…

Sharks 2022 - Why not us? Mark 2…

Man has he flown under the radar.. honestly never thought of Finucane as much more than an honest reliable toiler* .. but you could see even from the trial how much direction he provides.. he's like a big f**ken arrow pointing straight down the middle of the field

*Very funny autocorrect to toilet there..

It just shows that I / we don’t really fully appreciate players that aren’t playing for the mighty Sharkies!!!

Did you hear it was Cronk said Finucane nickname is John Rambo he fights for every inch

Yep, happy to have him on board. It's worth a measurable amount of fluff.. Storm didnt win the comp last year though... They had some good players too.

I noticed how loud he was during the warm up. Like as soon as he came out he was faaaarken into everyone. He paired up with the commodore, Berrell and a few other youngsters for the wrestle stuff which was cool to see.

I cringe every time he goes down low though.

No wonder his voice is so f**ked!

Did anyone notice at the start of the game as the Sharkies were about to run out of the tunnel, the mermaids and young kids were milling around the entrance for the players to run in between as they cheered them on. Dale come flying out of the tunnel on to the field at a thousand miles an hour and nearly trampled half a dozen kids and mermaids. f**k it was funny, man that guy is intense! Love him!

 

[txta2]

He has one fricken hard skull

 

[Weaponhead]

Already the heart and soul of the team.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

That was fkn funny the way he charged out of the tunnel like a viking going into battle

Someone sent me a video of DF running out with ultimate warriors music. It is gold but dunno how to post it.

love him. I also love how the players love him even ones you wouldn’t expect like at the end him and Trindall having big hugs. Two total opposites

What's the vid format mate? Is it a link? Can it be uploaded on YouTube?

While he's known for his defence I was f**king impressed with his post contact meters. Made the defence really work to put him on the ground.

Interview with Dale on ‘Bloke in a Bar’ podcast…

Good stuff!

 

[chewsta]

Listened to it last night it's a really good interview. Seems like such a good bloke too.
I Highly recommend it boys.

 

[Special K]

Chucked it on this morning on a flight and it made the trip go super quick. Loved how he said Nicho had a shit eating grin when they both put the jerseys on the first time.

Great leader. Wish they asked him about the Sharks story where Ennis and Flanno had a chat to get him but that would be super specific for us and it sounded like his manager is f**king fantastic and knew where he wanted him to land.

Do we have a male cheerleader? A Merman?

So, what flag would they be bearing…?
