Brett Finch will return to Melbourne Storm for the 2013 Season. GM of Football Frank Ponissi announced the return during his acceptance speech as the Mick Moore Club Person of the Year at the 2012 Player of the Year Awards.

The stand-off has agreed a one-year deal with the Storm.

His contract is thought to include a role mentoring young players.

Good luck to him. Would love to know how much effort we put in to try and keep him though.

That'll help the Storm during the Origin period when they took a massive dip in form this year - although it didn't really hurt them in the end did it

Very strange.
I thought Finchy had a fall out with all that was Australian Rugby League, hence his move to Wigan in the first place.
Why the sudden turn around to play there again if he felt so strong about it in the offset.

Finchy is a class act but at the end of this year started to fade so IMO he's leaving us at the right time.

Before anyone has a go a slating me I was one of the few who said he was a class act and stood by him when he was in poor form post injury at the beginning of his Wigan career.

A bit unfair,i doubt Brett will be a first choice half-back.I believe his job will also include other duties as well.

Looks that way doesn't it? I thought he said he was going into media? Then he was going to mentor young players.
Smoke screen?
