Has anyone ever been handed as many opportunities in RL history as this clown?
He debuts at 17 at halfback for the Raiders. His halves partner in the first 2 seasons? One of the all-time greats, Laurie Daley.
Daley retires and Finch gets the keys to the car. He doesn't live up to his potential, packs a sad when his Daddy gets sacked, and after 2 seasons pisses off to the Roosters to partner who in the halves? Another all-time great Brad Fittler. Fittler carries him to his Origin debut in 04. He plays like shit and gets dropped for the decider.
Fitter retires and he regresses back to the shit player he truly was. Sticky shifts him to hooker and benches Craig Wing who had made the 9 jersey his own. After about 5 other halfbacks go down injured, Finch gets another Origin start in 06 and pulls off one of the biggest flukes in RL history by kicking the winning field goal. He goes back to his normal shit self in game 2 though and is dropped again for the decider.
Roosters fans get sick of him (FOFF), he tells them to kiss his arse during a post game interview. Sticky sacks him and he's sent packing to Parra.
Finch brags about how the Eels had the best backline in the NRL (lol). They win SFA. Daniel Anderson comes in and gets rid of him right away. He ends up where?...Oh Melbourne right next to Cooper Cronk in the halves.
He's carried to an illegal premiership in 09, playing the Eels in the GF no less. Somehow Melbourne thought it was a good idea to breach the salary cap to obtain him.
As soon as they're caught, Finch is obviously the first to go. He joins the biggest club in the UK, the defending premiers at the time, Wigan. They carry him to a challenge cup win in 2011. He returns to the NRL in 2013 and somehow gets re-signed by the defending premiers, Melbourne.
He retires at the end of 2013, gets a job with channel 9 and gets sacked for no-showing due to being a drunk and a coke fiend.
He somehow gets a job at Fox and somehow f**ks that up to. He gets sacked after looking like he's coked up and tweaking on the Matty Johns podcast.
He also gets a job on the Radio with Hadley and no-shows that to snort coke all day. He gets sacked from that gig too.
How does this guy get so many opportunities?
