I've never really wanted to see Monaghan at hooker before, I've felt that was to be avoided, but it's now obviously not working with him in the halves, and arguably his best form (over a sustained period) was at hooker for Manly so he needs to go there. If he doesn't go well there, we have two pretty good hooking options, so he can be told that he won't be in the seventeen, although I do wonder whether he'd be too bothered by that 'threat'. He may be a halfback, well no, he IS a halfback, but he's a halfback that isn't producing in SL right now, and hasn't for a long while, so a positional change should be tried, if this doesn't have the desired effect, he doesn't warrant a place in your seventeen.
In terms of the Reserves, they've scored over 110 points in two games, so somebody must be doing alright, one of our halfbacks must be playing half decent to rack up those number of points, get one of those lads training with the first team, as another visual aid to our incumbant halves, Lowes should be showing them that he is willing to give their jumper to somebody else.
