Trying to make some sense out of this post. From what i remember watching Monaghan played a hooking role at manly while orford was in the limelight..
And surely Hicks played as a winger & not a scrum half like you have suggested..? |

At the time Warrington signed Monaghan he was excelling at scrum-half and was being championed by Phil Gould to be NSW's answer in that position for State of Origin.
It was after we signed him that Orford returned from injury and Monaghan moved to hooker to accommodate him. |

Nick Fozzard I thought had disaster written all over it, same for bringing back Mark Hilton. I guess looking back, we had nothing to lose really given the budget that we were operating at etc.
It sort of works both ways doesn't it, I thought Rauhihi was going to be immense, in reality he had one really decent season.'" I think you mean he had one decent game, not season. Am i going to be the first to admit that i didn't want us to sign briers? Didn't not rate him, but at the time i thought John Duffy was top class(????) and i didn't want to see him replaced. What was I thinking??? |

| I wasn't sure about signing Des Drummond. Or John Woods. Couldn't really have been more wrong  |

I thought signing Jedward for the opening game was bad, but they put some sort of voodoo hex on the 'Quins team.

Greg Mackay, didn't really think this blokes not going to make it because when he signed it was such short notice. First game at Wigan played a blinder scored a great try. Legend.

Toa Kohe Love on his first spell came over as an unknown 19 year old so wondered who we were signing, then watched him in the alliance over the winter and he was brilliant and hoped he would do the same in SL. Thankfully he did.
Nigel Vagana was another unknown really but became top try scorer, shame he was only with us for 1 season.
You don't tend to get unknown signings these days.

Grose I'll grant you seemed a strange signing but proved his worth. Danny Nutley was one who I thought was too small to be an effective prop when we signed him - how wrong was I there! Mike Forshaw was another I thought we were signing too late in his career but gave us solid service for the time he was with us.
