You're all surprised?

i hope we keep him for next season i just think the player we all know he can be is just starting to appear.As for Matt King today was one of his best in a wire shirt imo

I actually agree with a fair amount of your posts on here.... but surely this post has gotta be the biggest mickey take i'v seen on here in a long time pmsl...

that was Craig Teitzel that played in the side that finsished top of the league in 94....?


talk me through Monaghans positives today without mentioning his tackling ...

okay then ...

He threw out a ridiculous interception pass his kicking game was a complete disgrace we even lost yards on a simple kick to touch...??

He created nothing, thank God Matt king is well over 6 ft because he had to take a monaghan offload that hit his shoulder for Christ sake......

If all those people criticsising my post can show me something positive he did other than "tackling well" I'll have it, other wise stop being soft.....

this is an NRL scrum half that can not play scrum half never ever ever

Everyone seems to be slagging Monaghan off, he made a couple of bad errors first half, but on the other hand he shone, one of the best players on the pich second half IMO (maybe overstatement)
Anyone else want him to stay next year with Myler/Matt orford etc

And think briers should be offerd new contract? IMO he shouldnt

I rest my case

good night and god bless..............

and you couldn't put any of those points in any of the various threads already on here about those subjects?


threads merged.

First of all why can't we mention his tackling? In Smith land defence is everything and Monas is a machine. His tackling technique is near perfect and he must clock the most tackles? No doubt you are first to criticise Briers when he doesn't do his fair share of tackling.

Ok his passing was a little off at times as was his kicking - although I thought his kicks were ok today. I would like to see the interception again as the Hull player was WAY out of position and had the pass been just a couple of seconds earlier said player would be left standing and we were in for a certain try. One of those 50/50 things I reckon.

He made woods try - a turning point in the game I think. To point out one kick to touch is ridiculous - most players will duff the odd kick to touch. Although I agree some one could probably do a better job of that.

Give the guy a break - he continually puts his body on the line. Took a shoulder injury early - but you wouldn't have noticed as he waved the physio away.

I wouldn't mind Monaghan as our starting hooker, with Higham coming off the bench. Not sure who would take Clarke off our hands though.

Monas man of the match,This is yet another game i was waiting for monas to grab the game by the scruff of the neck!!It did nt happen,
He must of been pushed all the way for the m.o.t.m by,
Moz,mathers ,ben harrison,and even king,
Very poor hull performance,Only scored off our mistakes (twice)
very average wire performance,won the game in a 10 minute spell in the second half.
If we would of played any of the top 6 today at home we would of struggled to get the win,
But eh,2 points is 2 points,
In Smith We Trust...

You are way off the mark. He made that passing mistake in the first half but didn't play any worse than many in the Warrington shirt. In the second half he was superb and was the key factor in that excellent ten minute scoring spree.

Yeah, I thought he was pretty good for a spell in the second half. He was in a acting half role, and he kept going back to the Hull right & looked to be tearing them to pieces. He got a bit over excited at times and gave the ball away cheaply early in the tackle count, but I think that was because he was actually enjoying himself & confidence was flowing really.

If it was a marks system, he'd be like 1st half 5, second half 9.

Yet again, been said before, the diffwerence in him when switched to nine from seven is massive. It's just like he's a billion times more comfortable, and he sees the games from a position that he's able to interpret the game better, andtake better options & run better lines. He's ten times more creative from hooker than halfback.

i was begining to think i was the only one that could see he is crap.

his passing is shocking he doesnt even look half the time, then stands there hands on hips thinking why did i do that, then does it again. as for his kicking from penalties we hardly gain yards.

he needs to go he is not the same player for us. as he was in auss.


sooner he goes the better. miserable git.

There's only one disgrace round here and that's you. I suggest you stay at home as this club would be infinately better for it. NO NEED FOR THE NAME CALLING THANKS LETS KEEP IT FRIENDLY
