Monaghan didn't look fit - he was having mini fitness tests throughout the warm up. He didn't play well, a marked contrast from how he played against Hull KR when he was excellent.
He always puts in though and he doesn't die wondering - you've got to admire his effort, particularly if, as I suspect, he wasn't 100% fit.

Them nasty furriners coming over here and taking our kids jobs. 
Next time you're at the Halliwell Jones, you might see a wall dedicated to a certain Brian Bevan. Not too bad an import was he. |

Agreed on both points. Aussie half backs don't seem to fit well into the English game and we badly need to develop young centres within England. |
