| He's not the only one who thought Madge would be here longer when he first came! Delighted to hear he wants to stay  just needs to hone his drop kicking skills and I will be well happy and hopefully he can help our up and coming players get ready for the fray when he does eventually leave us.

| Great news!
An announcement of Finch and Lockers signing on for 2013 and beyond would be very nice.

| A two year contract would be ideal. I'm not normally a fan of keeping players after they are thirty, but losing Tommy and Finch would be difficult, and I wouldn't really like to have to rely on just Mellor and Powell (he could provide cover at 7 and 9) next year.
Further down the line we have the two England halfbacks in Williams and Hampshire coming through who will be putting pressure on Mellor and Powell in the next three years.

| Echo what's been said....let's get the guy a new deal ASAP. He's a leader and a dam fine player that will take the pressure of both our young halfbacks and future recruitment plans if he sticks around.
A one year deal with a years option would seem sensible and if he's happy enough long term that could extend further. He's not the type of player who will suffer from a lack of pace.
On a side note the guy has 'future coach' written all over him. He speaks sense and seems very tactically aware. I'm not saying that will be here but he'll end up coaching somewhere.

| This bit worries me........
Quote I haven't heard from the club yet,"I haven't heard from the club yet," said Finch.'"
Sensible management would have us identify the key positions already for next season, especially given we knew about Tommy's departure well in advance of the new season. It hints at a lack of planning, lets hope that isn't the case otherwise we may get left behind on any other targets we might need.

He looks quicker on his feet this year than last, surprisingly. For me that's the reason why he looks so threatening, because he's mixing the play up.
Totally agree about the future coach point.

When does Mellor's contract expire? Can't see him getting another one with Williams and Hampshire already playing for the u20s.
Can't see an issue with Finch's age if he is performing to the desired standard.
