My apologies.

Clark will be a top player in his own right, I'm sure with the right coaching he can improve the other areas of his game but as you say, some of that instinctive play is what can't be coached.

And me.

I see him in the Roby mould, he has that explosive pace out of dummy half and the good upper body strength to twist and turn out of the tackle. He has a nice way of bringing his forwards onto the ball like Roby does.

With the forward pack we are assembling for next year, he may well run riot.

No need for an apology RLIMR, we all want the same result after all? Given Monaghan's renaissance this year I hope that he signs off with the ultimate prize he fully deserves it, what a brain and pound for pound what a defender

'Best Aussie import' is a pretty subjective judgement, but for me he is by far away my favourite. He is a bit like an iceberg, yes you can see him making breaks / scoring tries / flipping passes out to support players, but there is also a lot that goes un-noticed to the casual observer. When you watch the game against Saints, then in a 3 man tackle you see big Roy, or perhaps Jammer get up off his man and glibly assume he has made the tackle. But invariably our last man to get up will be Monas (or perhaps Higham). They have made the initial tackle, felling the runner by taking his legs away. And can you recall one moment when he has lost his rag ? Or deliberately fouled another player ?

He is the complete professional. End of an era for me, I don't think we will see players of his class signed again for Wire for a long time.

Against Hudds the other week was the first and only time ive seen him lose his composure, that was with the ref.

James webster.......??

I think a player like Monas will have seen plenty of Coaching styles, player reaction to methods and personally commands enough respect to be a good coach. It's not a given but those qualties would surely get him his Badges. Come on TS get him on the course.

......Has been an assistant coach for the past couple of years.

exactly and before that was a player and he's Australian, so if he can retire from playing and become an Assistant coach and then a coach why Would Michael Monaghan be refused.........??
