we all know what will happen! someone will ''get injured'' and surprisingly finch will be fit again and come into the squad as a replacement and start at 6

Finch explained the situation very well, and no doubt it's similar to the situation with O'Loughlin last weekend. Finch hasn't trained all week so can't have been passed fit to play before the squad was announced so wasn't included. He was back running yesterday, will hopefully train today and if he's fit enough he will be added to the squad today or will be given until the last possible moment. It was the same with O'Loughlin last weekend.

He asked him, but Brett didn't tell him, he said he wasn't sure what he's doing yet.

Finch is a blow but Powell did a job for us last week and will step up again

Really glad Finch and Hansen played...I'm not sure many Wigan fans would say the same!

If they weren't fit, they shouldn't have played. Wane said he had to play Finch as Sam Powell was unfit. Why was Powell warming up then?? I would have preferred that we played the younger lads over anyone who is injured.

Shades of the semi final again, players coming back after a number of weeks out who just didnt look up to speed. They may well have been fit but they obviously werent match fit and up to playing in a game of that intensity.

If Finch hadn't played and Powell or Lockers had played 6 and we'd still got beat convincingly people would have been slating that decision. Wane took a risk with Finch and it didn't pay off.

In my opinion Powell was fit, Wane is just covering his back as to why he played Finch.
