Quote: matt king's cat "Not impressed with the amount of folk slagging off Monas. The guy puts in a ton of effort and works tirelessly in defence. Yes he certainly isn't the finished article as a half back and should in at hooker but no one can fault the guy for his 100% effort. How many RL players would have taken a shot like he did in Barca and still come back for more. The guy has got guts as well as loads of ability. We signed him to play at 7 in a position which he isn't best employed and the club should cop the flack for that.'"
Nobody on here is criticising his effort and commitment, so what is your point?

Clarke isn't a 7, but he does a hell of a better job than Monas, who has had a hell of a lot more experience in that position in the NRL.

Dave My point is that some fans seem to want to lay all the blame for sides lack of attacking options at Monas. Without Briers he seems to be expected to set up and dictate play on his own and some of the others have to start taking some of the burden off him.
Also when Monas was playing at 7 for Manly when Orford was injured he was playing behind the best pack in the NRL which would make anyone look pretty good and if its a choice between him and Clarke I'd take Monas every time.

He was 7 at Manly before thy signed Orford. He wasn;t just somebody covering at 7, he was a 7.

He is a kay player for us, no doubt on a decent wage, and it is right that he should be stepping up and delivering. Briers steps up to the plate often enough.

Clarke at 7 is a much better option for me (without Briers playing), in that he is perhaps less explosive, but he does a better job of organising the team and delivering quality ball out wide.

Take your point about Monas money but in my opinion he does a good job for us. Maybe the swap Smith performed on Sunday is the way to go until Briers returns who we undoubtably miss. When I watched Manly on the box when Monas was there I only remember him at 9 until Orford got injured but maybe I'm wrong about that.

IMO Monas has shown on a few occasions this year the value he can add to the team at 7. When Briers is there playing well, Monas can come in and do the little things, allowing Briers to run the show, and it worked well at times.

Without Briers, Monas can't do it, he needs a strong 6 with him, so I agree, perhaps Clarke and Bridge need to be at halves until Briers returns.
