The guy Is awesome... outstanding yesterday in both defence and attack he's a great tackler... Best 9 in sl bar non

His out the back door pass for the first try and kick for the last for Hicks were superb.

Why oh why did Cullen ever play him @ scrum half?

I think he left Manly because he wanted to play at 7. Couldn't keep the shirt when Orford came back from injury (not getting on with Hasler was also a factor). Presume Cull had assured him he would play at half-back when he signed. Bet he regretted that later.

if he carries this on he will be one of the best Aussies to ever put on a P+B shirt IMO

Didn't Smith also play him at scrum half for a few games when he came? then he played at 9 and was different class.

He is worldclass

Why oh why did Monaghan throw that wild pass yesterday which led to the Bradford break which led to him being stepped by L'Estrange?

Because we didn't have a scrum half? Both Bridge and Grix were pretty permanently injured for the time Monaghan was here in Cullen's time.

Why did Canberra and Manly play Monaghan at scrum-half?

I think the hooking role is getting similar to a scrum half role by the day, this guy is pure class, i hope we can get him tied down to a new deal soon or Saints might come sniffing, unless he goes back to oz that is

Anyone remember the type of threads we had to endure about Monas 18 months ago?



Great asset to the team at 9.
