Wire player injured.............what a shocker

Injured by association. You couldn't make it up!

How do you know that?

Common sense alone tells you that Matt King will be on a far higher contract than Michael Monaghan, Matt King was a current origin and test international when he signed for us and by leaving Australia he was giving up rep football and all the money that goes with it.

Michal Monaghan has yet to play any origin or test rugby which means Matt King had a far bigger bargaining tool to negotiate a far higher contract in what he was giving up to come to the UK, i`m suprised you even aksed to be honest. And before you ask as i`m sure the question would have been due, no i don`t know the details of players contracts as my assumption was based on common sense of the above.

Mickey Monaghan was awesome today.

Got concussion then came back on he was on brilliant form.

Hope he can bring this to Wire next year, im sure he wants to play 7 but could he go in at 9 instead of Clarke?

Lets hope Cullen dont F*** this up like he did with Sullivan.

Reasonable assumptions, but are just that. I could also say that Cullen's top priority was a halfback and he moved to sign Monaghan pretty early.




And I could just as easily say, let's hope Monaghan doesn't **** it up like Sullivan did.

And 2 trys today for Matt King.

Willie Talau and Matt Gidley are much better players.

Of course they are, their both world class after all.

Going off previous years it would be wise for you lot to not take the pi$$, keep shtum, and wait until your player comes over here and does the business first.

I remember all this happening with Rauhihi V Cayless and I remember it with Gleeson and Lyon and I remember how Morley was going to boss any other front row combination. I also remember the raving that was done about Michael Sullivan too.

I don't think anyone was taking the pi$$ out of the players ability, it was more having a pop at the Stains fans arrogant attitudes toward how their players are percieved.

Saints fans dont claim these things though. It is an imaginary view that stems from bitter opposition supporters.

?????

I think you might be in the minority of one there.

come on, fess up. Before he came over It was "Sullivan can do this and Sullivan can do that"...."ooh I watched Sullivan today and he's quality, he will rip SL apart".

If i'm being honest, I had never heard of him prior to us signing him. For anybody to say he was loooking the mutts nuts at seven would be total fabrication, the times I did watch him after we announced his signing was always coming off the bench at hooker.

I liked him to be totally honest as a player, he brought a dynamacism around the PTB not seen for a good while, however he was very much an 'individual' player.

PS

Piss off derailing threads.

I was being deadly serious.

At the end of the day we have signed 3 players for next year that are now grand finalists, and at least 1 will become a grand final winner.

People talk about losing Henry but in King we have signed a player who has scored 19 tries in the NRL this year, and set up a lot too. Monaghan will take a lot of pressure from Briers with the organising of play and the kicking game, he is a player that we've wanted and needed for a long time.

Roll on 2008

i only saw the second half today but i was cringing that king got sucked in 3 times in the first 10 minutes in defence, he'll get crucifed on here next year for that.


What was them rumours about us signing brett white earlier this year? feck me i'd have him in a shot!

and as for sully, hardly anyone on here had heard of him, even the nrl watchers amongst us, most of the props that he got was people reporting from the sharkies forum, on about him being best impact hooker and the white preston campbell and so wind yer neck in alright!

It's good that Chris Hicks will be playing for the final. I can't believe 3 of the players we have signed are in the NRL grand final.

I know its great isnt it Get in

your on glue then. He's a great player its just that he has to come here and do it otherwise he's no use to you!!!

He was all those things but I thought he also lacked composure and made crap decisions. Its a shame really because he would have been pretty good. It also didnt help him being played in the wrong position and then being made an (e)scape goat
PS



you lot love me really

Does Cullen like big tools?
