PM'ing me is lame.
If Micky Higham is in the same class as Michael Monaghan i'm queen victoria

no your ,stevie wonder pal.

Is renegade81 .. St Ives ?

no im renegade81

Spot on there!

i will answer that question after the season has ended.
we will see how far we have come on saturday, but like you said stop moaning and give them time , that is what i am doing., and getting behind my team.

Monaghan is miles apart from Higham, it's no detrement to Higham, none whatsoever. Monas is in that top bracket of hookers, in both SL & World RL. What he hasn't done yet is found consistency at hooker, just odd games, games where he's single handedly won us games and that's what puts him in that top bracket, as a matchwinner.

Higham is a solid, reliable, gives you everything SL hooker, we should be grateful we have both.

Agree 110%, Monas is light years better than Higham. When Monas turns it on he can win a game on his own...he is that good. And he can tackle...you cant criticise his effort or commitment.

You know what....

I'm still not convinced by Monagahan. I know he won the semi-final for us and he's looked good at times in a few other games, but he's not consistently controlling the ruck like Cunningham and Newton did in their prime, never mind Smith or Buderus (NRL version).

I wont take this post seriously. Think Chester Wire is stirring up some doo doo.

No, I'm deadly serious.

I know where you're at, I referenced consistency at nine, it's that we want to see. I want to see a MOS contender, that's what I want.

That said, there's no other nine in the competition that can do what he can do, when he's white hot, he's outrageous.

This'll sound like a dig at a player, I think you like him as well, so here goes, but I know what I mean, so shush.

When Monas is poor, like say Saturday just gone, he's about as effective as Clarke ever was, probably marginally better as his defence is cruel.

When he's hot, last week, semi final, hull at home last year etc, he's insanely brilliant, up there with the best.

Soooooo, he's a step forward for me. Some days, he's a leap forward.

I'm glad somebody else posted this. I was going to postsomething similar but have been pulled on here before for not giving Monas credit.

He is a very good hooker, but honestly, I wouldn;t be that bothered if he left and Higham was starting 9. Hope he proves me wrong during the season, because put it this way, at this stage last year I didn;t even want him in the team!
