I heard bozo on 2gb once say that he didn't rate monaghan and that if Manly released him not one other club in the NRL would pick him up. I think bozo is a pretty good judge of a player.
I also think that it was pretty obvious that the club didn't want to re-sign him and only did so when Max stepped in.
The whole saga was a shambles and reflected poorly on both the club and the player. It is no coincidence that our season fell part at the same time as this happened and Monaghan's form also fell in a heap.
Ask yourself would a good player let this happen?
Time will tell if he is still around in 2006.
