Michael Monaghan is a good traditional irish name

i actually felt sorry for monas meself yesterday, i know he was crap, but can just tell that he has got the class but not bein able to use it with our current shower, i actually thought penny deserved mn of match yesterday, looked confident, went inside looking for the ball and the thing that caught my eye the most was the fact that he was following quite a lot of drives up waiting for the offload, (classics saints play), unfortunately he didnt get an offload

Monas has no class. He is probably the worst 7 in Superleague ATM.

thats because he's a number 9
playing scrum half he can't dictate play,set up moves etc,when he played outstanding for manly in the nrl semi final victory even though he played at scrum half he played the whole game like a hooker would doing most of his work from dummy half.

But even when he did get an offload from the forwards, as he would get playing 9, his decision making is still so slow, and usually wrong.

I don't know what his best position is, but I'd like him to find it away from our club.

i have a sneaking suspicion that Richie Mathers isn't going to be our new full back. We have riley and hicks
I think he'll play him at 6/7 watch this space.

Are you TS?

Did you read my post?

hence the wink



it's been said a few times

Hey, heard anything about Briers going Halifax?

No

you mean Widnes and Barrow stopped bidding

Nah he just wants to o to a winning team.

agree with every word!!! well said, so many 2 faced fans on here!!

I wouldn't bother. Opinions on this forum will only prove to irritate you.

"half head fans" - I like that.

Smith doesn't feel that Riley is strong enough at Full-Back hence the singing of Mathers.

Ive talks are still on going with Barrow, from what i hear he is very freindly with andy breack who is at barrow now!!!

He is a good friend of Martin Gleeson but he isn't going Wigan, i know let's put Halifax in because of Mark Gleeson, Widnes because of Gaskell and K-Love and Hull FC because of Craig Hall.

When the truth is he is actually going Hull KR.

Signed for Barrow. Done Deal.

The issue most of us "half heads" have is that they can seperate the undoubted on-field ability of the player from that which they know of his off field character and behaviour.

Have you ever seen Briers 'out on the town' when he shouldn't be?

As a follow on has anyone who HAS seen him out noticed what he was drinking?

It's all a load of e if you ask me. I've never yet actually spoke to anyone that has witnessed it first hand.

I would imagine he doesn't go out any more than any other rugby player.

No wonder he wants to leave. Who can blame him. If we are to say goodbye to Lee I for one hope he stays til the end of the year so he can get the send off he deserves.

1st answer, Yes.
2nd answer, Yes.

There was actually a picture of Briers in Panama Jacks the night before a game, drinking VK Orange posted on this forum a while ago but the picture was deleted.

Ok then when exactly was it you saw him what was he drinking? Where?

I have seen him "represent" the club at a number of functions in a surly, disinterested, unprofessional and sulky manner. I have overheard his conversations with his pals from Hattons (relating to getting tatered after the game and being dismissive of his role with regards to his player appearance to sponsors) which dissapointed me. I also have a family friend involved in the dressing room on matchdays whose opinion I trust. Finally he holds a criminal conviction for drink driving which I think speaks volumes about his character.

Lets wait and see what happens over the next few weeks.
