Brett Finch (born 20 August 1981 in Maitland, New South Wales) is an Australian rugby league player for the Parramatta Eels in the National Rugby League competition. He previously played for the Canberra Raiders from 1999 to 2002, winning the club's rookie of the year award in his debut season. Finch then moved to the Sydney Roosters where he played until the end of the 2006 NRL season.
While attending Erindale College, Finch played for the Australian Schoolboys team in 1998.[1]
Brett Finch has played three State of Origin games for New South Wales since crossing from the Canberra Raiders. His most famous moment was when he was called into the New South Wales squad on the eve of Game 1 of the 2006 series. He then turned out to be a hero by scoring a try, setting up two and by kicking the winning field goal to push New South Wales to a famous 17-16 victory at Telstra Stadium.
Parramatta Eels announced that they had signed Brett Finch on a 2 year deal from the Roosters, commencing from the 2007 season.
Controversy
- In 2004, Brett Finch, whilst playing for the Sydney Roosters, threw a bottle back into the crowd after he was pelted by a Canterbury Bulldogs fan. The fan was banned for life from NRL Games, while Brett Finch was suspended for 3 weeks[2]
