at the end of the season?

Just seen his interview after the final, had a really weird feeling that it was a goodbye speach, dont know why i felt this. I would be gutted if he did leave, he is the world class no. 9 that we so sorely need.

He's staying.

And that fella in your av's coming, right?

did you ever see *** **** do his farewell wave at the end of 2004?

Cant see it, visa.

He said in one of the rags that he didn't know where his footy was going but he never thought about going home. Based on that I would say he is staying.

hope the lad stays...he`s been brilliant since his switch to hooker...

and who could blame him if he left. The so called fans would have carried both him and King on their shoulders back to Aus 6 months ago. Reminds me of the Liverpool fans who wonder why Alonso left this summer.

Smith said he's going no where months ago I put the video on here as well

Winning the Challenge Cup will have changed a lot of the players' feelings about the club and the team. There will always be a bond within that team which played at Wembley, in twenty years time there will be something at the HJ where they do a reunion of 09 thing and the players will be presented at halftime or whatever, angry blokes in their early thirties will get Les-Boyd-esque excited at the presence of Adrian Morley and grumble to their mates that Hicks still looks fitter than the current shower they are watching.

I reckon Monaghan will stay now not least because he's got 2 more years to go of a good contract (depending on how much the tax loophole changes have eroded that) and whilst there will be interest in Australia who knows if it will be financially worth more than us.

We stayed in the same hotel in Brigend as his dad when he was over a couple of months ago, He is Staying!!!!

'Kinell, I can see it now.

please stay

Now that's a turnaround. I'd never believed 6 months ago I'd reading posts begging Monas to stay!

Staying. Makes you wonder about the future of HIgham and Clarke though.

Last time I checked I thought this was a RL forum?

But seeing as you have made a totally incorrect comparison I will try and explain it to you.

Imagine if Smith had been touting Morley to other clubs in the hope of trying to bring in someone else to replace him - naturally you would think he would be annoyed and would want out and you wouldn't blame him.

LFC fans left the manager in no doubt at a pre season friendly and the 1st few games of the season last summer what he could do with Gareth Barry - it involved shoving him somewhere where the sun doesn't shine sideways.

After Gerrard he has been the best player for the previous 18 months and held in such high regard by the fans.

So just to summarise, a major factor in him leaving was down to the manager and not the fans wanting him out as you have tried to compare incorrectly the treatment of Monaghan by Warrington fans as the same as LFC fans with Alonso.

I follow LFC home and away and it was the 1st game I've missed in a long time on Saturday to go Wembley watching Warrington. So to everyone I apologise for the long winded football related post but I have to correct totally inaccurate posts!

to be honest i'm not one for getting on the back of players. He had a high reputation plus moving to the other side of the world, if he say it has taken longer than thought for him to settle in, then i believe him.

These last few games he has been world class. the semi in particular and i felt sorry for him that he hadnt got MOM as that was his best game by a mile in P n B. though he also had an imense game in the final and was so pleased for him.

Im quite impressed that as a Liverpool fan you managed to write so much text without quoting a "Shankly said" comment. Well done.

No logical answer, then?

if you want. Both were examples of players who were unwanted and have then since delivered the goods so it isnt a shock when they leave. I'll give you that there is a slight difference in who they were unwanted by.

Always been a class act, just needed a decent coach to get the best out of him

Ever wondered why they were unwanted?

but the point was how fickle fans are and how quick they change their tune.

er no it wasnt because you said:

and who could blame him if he left. The so called fans would have carried both him and King on their shoulders back to Aus 6 months ago. Reminds me of the Liverpool fans who wonder why Alonso left this summer.

your saying that King and Monaghan had received stick from sections of the Warrington crowd and the same for Alonso at LFC

so what you were implying is that LFC fans had treated Alonso badly and then wondered why he left???

as stated this was not even a factor for him leaving

how have LFC fans have been fickle? how have they changed their tune?

im guessing by your first educated and witty response to my post is that Liverpool isnt your team.
