the manly board should be shot. Monaghan should not be leaving, i hope they get Orford and i hope he fails miserably, teach them a lesson...
Seconded. Or even better. Orford stays with Melbourne and Monaghan decides to 'retire' mid season, then they'd be screwed.

they want a big name player, Monaghan isnt exactly a headline name....
Manly are stupid. Big name players don't exactly equal performance. Monaghan is mostly part of the reason the Eagles are at the top of the table, why get rid of him? Dorks!

Exactly.

Why do clubs want big name players? So they perform well. What are they doing at the moment with Monaghan on board?

Clubs want big name players so they attract other big name players. Monaghan has been brilliant for Manly, they are idiots. Couldn't happen to a better team IMO.

the problem is that if they dont get Orford they are then in the position where they wont have a halfback. There are very few off contract... Berrick Barnes is one of them though :-O

Yeah, and he has plenty of options Western Force, Queensland Reds, Queensland Bulls :D and he will still likely get picked up by the Broncos.

Unless it's a crap club like Souths, it's all about the money.

It's not always about the money. Hodges wanted back in Brisbane because he preffered the lifestyle in Brisbane (who could blame him!). Kimmorley wanted out of Melbourne because he wanted to be back in Sydney. Morrison wanted to move back to Sydney to get more exposure to get a game for N.S.W. Lyon hated Brian Smith so he quit. Not always about the money.

The sides for the second origin game will be named today. There will be some interesting selections I think, with a few Queensland players under injury clouds and NSW to sought out some postitions.

Now Manly want to sign Monaghan for 3 years. Gee, manly really have no idea about player negotiations do they?

Manly to sign Monaghan
That what you call fan power, i heard that there was people calling the football club all day after it was announced that he wasn't going to get a offer. On a side note they seem to still want Orford and they are thinking about moving Monaghan to hooker. Could mean bye, bye for favorite son Chad Randell if that the case.

Kimmorley and Watmough dumped, anasta into 5/8 with barrett moving to halfback and Menzies onto the bench.

Watmough extremelly unlucky. IMO Kimmorley deserved a second chance but it's no surprise to me that they went with Anasta and Barrett.

Menzies won't let them down and has been playing great footy.. deserved to play in game one.

I want to see Eric Grothe Junior play Origin.

Dispointed that Watmough got dumped he did nothing wrong and has been in better form then Simspon. Surprised they didn't go for another front rower, Kite starting to play really good for us, coming back to his Dragons form of last year. Should be interesting to see how Anasta and Barrett combine.
