Melbourne Storm forward Dale Finucane (pictured) says his decision to abandon his contract with the Bulldogs has been vindicated as he prepares for Sundays NRL Grand Final against Cronulla.

Finucane made his Origin debut for the Blues in 2014 and signed with the Storm shortly after being granted a release by the Bulldogs.

With the ultimate success now just one win away, the25 year old says the move has worked out exactly as he’d hoped.
