It has been runoured for a while.
When I spoke to Michael at the end of one of the NRL semi-finals last year, with the Manly players, at the Sydney Footbal Stadium, he indicated to me that he wasn't too keen to be in England. He was very lukewarm. Well now we know. He is looking hard for a spot in the NRL for next year.

And maybe Warrington won't miss him.

| Says a lot about the standard of the 'Superior NRL' when a below average player like Monaghan could walk into any team in the league.
World class competition. No, really.

| IMHO Mick has been the most dissapointing NRL signing SL has ever seen. Remember round one against Hull last year, he looked magic. He was the reason Manly cruised towards the NRL finals in 2007, at hooker along with Orford they looked unbeatable. It's tragic how poor he has beeen this year, no more can be said.

| Monaghan is playing badly because he doesn't want to be there, its not complicated.
There are any number of players that have proved themselves at top level including Test matches against Great Britain's best and not performed in Super League
Brad Clyde.
Mullins.
Matt King.
Not every player adapts to the game in England with the expectation on them of carrying the team.
The life style and weather would not suit some or the soft slow fields.
How many "star" English football players move to European clubs and look like garbage? a lot more than the ones that are successful.
Life in England would be like moving to a third world country for some players.
What did old mate say about Castleford? they are drunk all the time with rotten teeth.
Compare Manly/Sydney as a town with Hull, Bradford or Warrington or pretty well any town that has a SL team and its simple.

| I think it would be fair to say that at that moment Michael Monaghan wanted to leave Sydney.

| What I don't get here is that everytime an NRL doesn't live up to the hype it is because he is unhappy - what rubbish.
If the NRL is so far in front of SL these supposed top NRL players Monaghan and King should stroll it in SL - their have only been two in recent times Jamie Lyon and Trent Barrett that have really took this competition by the scruff of its kneck and shook it up.
Players like Monaghan and King look great in a great side if either of them went to a lesser in the NRL would they be thought of in quite the same way?
Monaghan was so good Manley brought in Orford to replace him which speaks volumes for what Manley thought of him. As soon as they could offload him they did.
From what we see of the NRL there are some fantastic player far superior to their counterparts but these are the minority rather than the majority. The players we get in SL come from the majority and it shows. Monaghan's defence is a joke and is exposed almost every time he steps on the field no wonder he wants to go home.
Graham Murray was inverviewed on a rugby phone in last week when asked where he thought the top sides in SL would finish in the NRL he said they would not be challenging to win the comp. but they would not have a problem making the top eight.

| Murray is a retired coach, good bloke he may be but its just his opinion and he may one day want to Coach in England again so he is likely to be polite
He had just over 50% win loss rate in the NRL and was sacked from 3 of his 4 clubs with the one other Club being rubbed out totally.
Leeds were wiped out by Manly in a 10 minute flurry in the WCC where are Manly now in the NRL?
You don't rate
Matthew Gidley
Brent Webb
Shaun Berrigan
Scott Donald
Clint Greenshields
Adam Mogg
Pat Richards
Kylie Leuluai
Ali Lauitiit
Amongst others.
None were on the way up in the NRL when they left but most are better than the local player they replaced.

If wigan or Leeds wanted a player from NRL any player they would get them and there would nothing any NRL club could do about it they have money than any NRL sides.

This isn't true, the same year that Manly signed Orford (2005) they also resigned Monaghan on a 2 year deal. They moved him to hooker and he was one of the top players in the NRL there.
He hasn't performed at halfback for Warrington, no denying that, but his defence isn't a joke, defence is about the only good thing he does. He's one of toughest tacklers from halfback in the game...problem is Warrington brought him over wanting more than just good tackling.
