I would second the OP, and watching him this year has been all the more pleasurable given that there have been moments over the last two years when it looked as if the flesh was willing but the body was weak. Great to see a player coming back like that.

According to Jon Clarke Monas' defence isn't that strong??!! Don't try coaching Jon

He has options of staying at Warrington in a minor coaching role or moving on to Bradford Bulls as a first team assistant. So I heard some weeks back.

Took another heavy one last night, looked really bad at first. Can't blame it for wanting to pack it in with all the blows he's taken lately, and although he looked out of sorts for large parts of last season he's been unbelievable lately. His legs might not quite be up to his peak of 2011 but everything else is. What a player, will be very sad to see him go.

He's been fantastic and he's in some cracking form, I hope he gets to end his career on a high.

We have the great richard agar on board next season ,so monas wont be staying .Great shame as he total respect of the players ,and will make a great coach .Pity we cant cancel agars contract ,and keep monas on board.

But we have 2 assistants leaving ,Marshall & Poching (HKR) so there may be room for the lad.

He's a bit of a genius. I hope he stays in some capacity, if only to pass down some of that genius to Clarke, who at the moment is only a runner.

To be fair he's a bit better than RL's Forrest Gump!

I agree with the praise being heaped on Monaghan back to his best let's hope he goes out on a high

Should be commended for his reaction to Grix's injury on Thursday too. Total love and respect for his team mates and he should stay here as a 2nd assistant coach for definite.

If he does go off elsewhere I hope he returns as a head coach when TS moves on (hopefully a good few more years away).

That's not what I said. Maybe I should have said that Clarke is a completely different hooker to Monaghan, he doesn't possess the skills that Monaghan has when it comes to being able to unlock the toughest of defences. Hopefully that will come over time.

What happens regarding work permits if we or anyone else want to appoint Michael Monaghan as a coach?

As he's not an EU citizen he's going to need a new work permit if he changes jobs in the UK. He's not got any coaching experience so will he be able to get one?

Just echoing the above, you do all realise he has no coaching experience whatsoever?

Yes I'm aware. I think he has the tactical brain to make a good coach though.

"....Clarke, who at the moment is only a runner" praise indeed, I bet Clark can't wait to wear the P&B
