Is he definitely going back to Oz next year?

Or will he stick around to team up with Orford once again?

I think Matt King will stay on and obviously Hicks has commited again so maybe Monaghan will be more settled especially now Gleeson has gone and also Briers will be sent packing too come the end of the year.

There would be a nice irony in Orford being forced to hooker to accommodate Monaghan in the team.

Tbh i would love to see Monaghan at Hooker and Orford at half back.

Manly were awsome in 2007 with that combo.

But they lost the Grand Final, and then beat Melbourne 40 - 0 a year later with Orford at 7 and a different hooker, Matt Ballin.

Still wouldn't mind seeing this combination for Wire.
