We all knew it was coming, but still sad when it's announced officially. Good luck and thanks Mick.

Monas has been without doubt one of the very best I've seen in Primrose and Blue. Hope he finishes this season and his career with more medals around his neck. Big boots to fill when he hangs his up. Hope he gets a coaching gig with us.

Am I famous (or infamous) ???

Best of luck to him, he's been a fantastic signing and I would be happy to see him stay on in a coaching role. The experience of him and briers in terms of breaking a defence is second to none.

I hope he continues last nights form until the end of the season, you never know with him playing like that then we have every chance of another final or 2.

Tremendous signing, tremendous player and another who will be sorely missed in the future.

Fantastic player, and my favourite. I don't know what to say, we knew it was coming but I am gutted he is going, it simply won't be the same without him. I thought he had gone on a season too long when he extended for this year, but he has certainly proved me wrong. If I go along to his swan song I will need at least two boxes of extra strong tissues to get me through. A real privilege to watch you Monas.

he is the best hooker ive seen at the wire... around the play the ball he is simply breathtaking when on his game.

I will always remember the way he utterly destroyed wigan in the CC semi final at widnes.

also he is probably the best technical tackler ive ever seen.... you could have put Lomu in full flight at him and he would have chopped him down with a shoulder to the thigh.

A truly majestic rugby league player.

Is Monas, given his length of time here, the best import (modern age) we've had?

be hard to argue against it.

i cant think of a better overseas signing.

In terms of value for money, I'd say he's up there

with who?

FMC means you've got to exclude Langer and Johns.

But I agree - up there with Hicks and Hodgson for me.

So was the club right to extend his contract a couple of years ago then?

A few weeks back on this board that was listed as one of Tony Smith's mistakes....

...I'd say Paul Cullen's biggest mistake.

TS was criticised for having too many older players in aggregate, with the risk of them all leaving around the same time. It was a gamble and could easily have paid off if we hadn't had all those injuries at OT. But it didn't and we are now into a period of rebuilding, waiting for the youngsters to gain match time and trying to find top class imports to build a team around.
