I know that some were opposed to him joining the club last year, but after reading this article, how could you not love him?

Interview with Finchy in the dressing room half way down page
Finch said the team's solidarity would keep him in Melbourne until the end of this season - even if he received an offer to switch to a rival with a live chance of winning the competition.

"The whole thing has just collapsed because of what's happened," he said.

"Footy is everything to me. I don't have a girlfriend, I don't have a wife, I don't have any family here. I don't have anything lined up for next year. Footy is my life and they've taken everything away.

"But I'm not going anywhere."

The players, however, would not elaborate when asked about guilty parties to the salary cap scandal.

Reporters were warned the question was out-of-bounds in the post-match press conference, and when asked if he could trust that all his teammates were innocent, Finch replied: "I can only speak for myself, but I know I can look everyone in the eye."

And when speaking about his admiration for Smith, the former NSW Origin pivot later added: "There's no way in the world that would ever enter my mind. I could not be any more proud."

Bellamy was angered when the issue was raised. "I can only go on what I know," he growled.

"And what I know is these guys are real. That's all I need to consider, that's all I need to breathe in. I can't control what other people think or say. That's all we are going to do: take one day at a time and go from there."
Awwww!

I gotta say, I wasn't a massive Brett Finch fan when he was at Parramatta, but when he came to the Storm, I began to warm to him and I now, I love him, thats right, I love him even more now!!!! It speaks volumes about the club and how tight knit the boys are. As they say, in your darkest hour, a person's true character is revealed and that is what we seeing now with the Storm. Even though a few rats have sullied this clubs name, NO-ONE and I MEAN NO ONE is gonna walk away from this challenge.

Proud Storm member of 8 wonderful years!!!!!!!!!

No way... everyone knows he was on minimum wage (55k) and if he was paid anything more than that it would mean that he knew something dodgy was going on.

quite sure he is on a bit more than that this year.

Still reckon Finchy is a great person and a core part of the team.
