ST GEORGE Illawarra's frantic search for a new playmaker has overlooked one very obvious candidate; former NSW Origin half Brett Finch.

Clubs struggling for direction are astonished that such an accomplished player is currently languishing in NSW Cup with the Melbourne/Cronulla joint venture feeder side.

But even if the suitors come calling, Finch is likely to stay put because the Storm have promised to take care of his post career path.

One option being canvassed down south is for him to coach the club's Holden Cup side next year.

The Finchinator and Steeden Cheeks Soward together as a halves pairing at the merge. lol

And here I thought the merge couldn't do any worse than Fien or Beale.

Make it so number one.

Chook.

I also remember the game against the dogs, we were down by plenty Morley was sent off and Finchy took control. He always gave 100%.

I still have that newspaper cutting from the SMH the next day. The headline was "Revenge of the Roosters" as it was the first time we'd played Canterbury after the 2004 GF. We were down 16-0 at half time and ended up winning on a Friday night out at Homebush in 2005. I'm still waiting for the NRL DVD archives to release this one. I emailed them to enquire and they said they would do me a special copy for $80 including postage..

Yet he is well loved amongst players of all clubs. He is often on the guest list for weddings etc for players from everywhere. He's like Where's Wally as always pops up in everyone's photos. Either that or he's an expert gate crasher...
