Whilst that is true of many players who go low, and indeed is the main reason many players don;t go low, Monas actually does this very well in that he doesn't try and wrestle them or push them back. He is happy for them to go down as quickly as possible, and he does that by attacking their legs. This way they don't have chance to offload.



The only time he goes for the leg drive tackle is when he has supporting defenders with him.

You never seen Rocket Rodwell did you..

I'm not trying to be controversial but was Rodwell really that bad, or was it that the team stunk at the time?

Both.

The team stunk and Rodwell was guilty by association with the worst coach in our history. The neanderthals then had it in for him and that was that so to speak

Watch the video on the Wire site, Smith says Monas is here next year.

I thought you were banned?

That will be the hooking position then?

Rodwell was too good for the dross around him.

If its been proven that Michael Monaghan isn`t a good enough distributor to be playing at scrum half, and that his kicking game isn`t good enough then in my opinion he is a luxury that we can`t really afford to keep next season given the amount of money that he will be on, that could be spent better elsewhere.



Unless we are going to play him at 9 with Micky Higham as the impact hooker then we should release him, i`m not Jon Clarke`s biggest fan at 9 mainly because a lot of the key things a hooker is supposed to do is done too slow by Jon Clarke.



The try he scored against Catalan was a great try, if you remember he scored a similar try against Widnes when they were last in SL and that day i`m fairly certain he was playing at 13.



I would release Vinnie Anderson as his overall form for a fair while hasn`t been good enough, i would play Jon Clarke at 13 because i think he has a role to offer the team but not at 9, Jon Clarke has a decent kicking game and he could be a useful player to have drifting into the line rather than operating in the line. Some of J Clarke`s best Warrington form came when he was playing at 13.

i love smiths comment. "His energy levels are outstanding. Cut him in half and he'll have a heart the size of Ayers Rock."





love it.

How does that work? Contracts and all that.
