13 Minutes gone and he's made 1 break that nearly led to a try but Orford dropped the ball, 1 40-20 attempt that just went out before the 20 and 1 40-20 that was succesful and absolutely huge.

He's now gone off on 16 minutes with a concussion.

Is Hicks playing?

Injured mate

Only just missed out, was in contention.

Monaghan has had a stormer, can't wait see him in p&b.

He played the whole second half with a concussion and he was still impressive, can't wait to see him play in the P&B.

Ray Warren "Great effort by Michael Monaghan, but we're losing him to Super League!"

27 Tackles
2 line breaks
2 Offloads
15 runs for 176m
4 kicks for 140 metres including 1 40/20 kick
8 tackle breaks

He was superb.

The match is repeated on Setanta Sports at 2pm anybody know if this is free to view? The live one wasnt for me!!

Monaghan was the stand out player in the game, he was virtually untouchable before he went off with concussion in the 1st half. His kicking game is also very good, this is why i have said in the past that Monaghan will have a far bigger impact for us than the more expesive Matt King.

The winners of the GF will come from tomorows game, Manly were good but i think they were made to look very good at times through some dreadful tackling from the Cowboys, they missed numerous one on one tackles which lead to manly getting some good field position.

I agree. In Monaghan and Berrigan i think our 2 clubs have made 2 of the best signings since the SL era began. Personally i cant wait to see both of them do their thing (although i dont mind if Monaghan has a couple of off-days [size=75against us[/size )

who are ''OUR'' clubs ... well what is your .idiot

In English please?

And should you not know who Berrigan has signed for, see my sig.





No need for name calling, and apology accepted. You can stop going red now

Monaghan is f u c ki ng World class what a player we have next year

Ive not been this excited since Chelsea signed Shevchenko

And look what happened to him









I cant believe you came out with that



FWIW i dont think Monas will suffer the same fate.

maybe not but I hope the coach does

Stop it.

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.
