NRL great Cameron Smith believes his former Storm teammate Dale Finucane would be the perfect leader for the Wests Tigers to put them on the “right track”.
Finucane boasts an impressive career with Melbourne, playing in six grand finals and winning two premierships, many question why on earth a player of his calibre would even consider heading to Leichhardt during such a tough period.
Cameron Smith believes the answer is because the Storm captain could lead as the “perfect example” for the Tigers.
“Talking along the lines of the Tigers fans craving a guy to lead them, perfect example Dale Finucane,” said Smith on SEN 1170 Breakfast.
“He is a man that lives and breathes rugby league,
“And is someone that you would just chuck into that system and go, 'Hey boys follow this man right now, do what he does every day and we’ll be on the right track'.”
Finucane is off contract at the end of the 2021 season and a move to the struggling Tigers may not be too far fetched.
