the problem with bridge is that he wasnt moved on in the first place for football reasons. He left due to off field issues, which I seem to recall have also been an issue at warrington. If he still has the same off field issues, Is he an influence we want round our younger players?. Falls in a similar bracket to paul cooke for me, good on field but potentially very disruptive off field. Thing potter has to look at is does need for a half outweigh the off field stuff.

Whilst I agree with most of that, I think you have to consider that most people do change as they mature. Some don't though, of course!! If he has a different attitude to the one which caused him to move from Hudds and then us, he might be a good capture. As someone else pointed out he always seems to play well against us.

from memory wasnt the reason for us moving bridge on, less to do with his attitude, and more to do with his alleged recreational habits. Something he was still rumoured to be doing as recently as last year on wire board iirc. I'd agree though, provided we were convinced that side of his character was a thing off the past, then he would be a good signing for us. dont think he's likely to be available though.

I understand that the reason Wire could get Monaghan under the cap is because most of his package is in the form of Image Rights from an "Unconnected Third Party".

I believe its The Canine Defence League...

I thought someone of your pedigree would have been a little less ruff on the chap.

Is the reason Monaghan joined the Wolves is because of Wolfie or because Wolves look like dogs?

jokes already been done....and a wolf is a type of dog....thats why it looks like one!

I always thought a dog was a type of wolf?

That looks like a very "licky" wolf

Tut! Tut!
How low can you get.

(Will people wishing to respond please form an orderly queue and no cutting in line.)

OK I'll start. Think he should have come to Bradford as we need a bit of mongrel in the side.

Oh come on! The man's been hounded enough. Can't we stop these shaggy dog stories and let sleeping do..............

BTW, anyone running a sweep on the exact time someone starts a verse of [iWho Let the Dogs Out[/i when Wire appear at Odsal?

We may have some news today guys, rumors circling that the deal could be done - Orford to Canberra and it could be announced later on today.
