His decision making doesn't seem up to it. Unbelievably given his last couple of years in the NRL.

He was playing hooker at manly so the pressure wasn't on him as much. Think it was Orford who was leading the team around the park.

Maybe Monaghan cant operate under real pressure

Weren't Huddersfield after him before the news broke about Image rights?

edit: Yes after reading the article it says so...

I was speaking to Hairy Barry (who has good contacts) last night and he said this might be a goer - 2 year deal apparently. Monaghan is deffo going back to Sydney.

I like Fien but I would rather push the boat out for Myler.

He was exceptional for them at halfack over a period of a couple of months when Orford wasn't around.

I just think it's the structured style of play in the NRL that suits him, and other NRL halves that come here, as oppose to our 'off the cuff' attack orientated game. Lee Briers shines because he has an insanely quick RL brain, his speed of thought is uncanny, possibly too quick for his own good at times.

Jeez, how quick would it be if he layed off the beer?
