Finch is coming, no he's not

The mystery regarding Brett Finch and his possible shift to Parramatta has only got murkier this morning. While the Sydney Morning Herald that Finch is "set to join Parramatta next season", Ricky Stuart told ABC Online that the Roosters were not negotiating to offload Finch.
"Finch has a year left on his contract with the Roosters, but it is understood the Roosters would not stand in the way of his leaving...

The Eels, having missed out on Melbourne's Scott Hill, who will play out his career in England, desperately need a five-eighth and see Finch - with his utility value - as capable of filling that role.

"The switch would only come off if Parramatta were prepared to at least match the money Finch is on for next year, but it is anticipated that will happen," the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
