Don't get to see you guys every week for obvious reasons but he must be one hell of a good number 9 to be considered better than Roby. I'm sure we are all alittle biased when it comes to our own players. However I'm sure if all Super League coaches had the opportunity to take a number 9 from another club Roby would get most votes, with tommy leuleui second Monaghan third. My opinion of course.

If you think Roby's better than Monagan M, that's your opinion, and you're entitled to it (I don't agree with you, tho)

If you think that Leuleui is better than Monaghan M, then you're either
1. a wind up merchant
2. stupid
3. clinically insane
4. breaking into mummy and daddy's booze cupboard
5. blind

None of the above. But on the basis he is a good number 9. World cup winning hooker not to mention mom in last years grand final and 4 nations winner, so u not telling me he doesn't have a shout at being as good as Robes and Monnas

...but John O'Shea has won countless winners medals in football....doesn't make him a worldbeater, does it

if you think Leuleu is anywhere near Monaghan, you need your General Election vote taking off you

loving hell, are you a wigan fan?

Re: Monaghan M...just HOW GOOD is he : Sun Apr 17, 2011 10:33 pm  

Not at all. Dislike the Pies as much as you guys. I'm sure the Wigan fans would say he is the best number 9 as he plays for them as you do with Monnas as I feel Roby is. it's all matter of opinion with alot of bias. I'm sure Monnas will continue to have a great season for u guys but I wouldn't swap him for Roby, may consider swapping him for Scott Moore though.

TL is bobbins.

1.Monas
2.Buderus
3.Roby

In that order.

Monaghan makes Roby look silly in general play but on SL site, Roby seems to dominate most stats.

TL and Buderus both rubbish now, would not want at Wolfs.

Year of wolfs !!!!!

Agree, and I did check to show Monas better.

Roby Monas
Tries 3 0
Assists 7 5
Metres 2049 774
Carries 381 154
Tackles 396 209
Offloads 20 16
Runs from DH 316 133
Busts 32 21
Marker Tackles 51 29
Clean Breaks 6 1
Missed Tackles 19 22

Roby looks gud on stats but Monas is one of best in rugby world and makes more kicks. If Roby keeps improving tho, he may be as gud as Monas in future.

Re: Monaghan M...just HOW GOOD is he : Mon Apr 18, 2011 9:50 am  

Monas and Roby are two completely different style of Hookers. As are John Clarke and Mickey Higham.

The Monas Roby debate is just down to opinion, but throwing Leuleui into the mix is just plain stupid. Winners medals, meh. As someone said, John O'shea, Wes Brown, etc etc etc. All got a sh*tload of awards/medals, but would they compare with say John Terry, Vidic etc? Nope.

Monas and Roby, if they were in the same team, what an interchange we would have!!!!!
