He's a very good 9 playing at 7.
I agree, that is a good point. Monaghan was a sensation in his last season at Manly but he was playing at Hooker. He was replaced by Orford at 7 a few seasons ago.
The big question has always been how good is Michael Monaghan. He is a strange player to work out. He has touches of brilliance at 7 but seems to lack consistency and seems to go missing in some games.
The position he is consistently good at is Hooker and that is not what Warrington need him to be. A return to the NRL may be the best move for him.
Maybe Warrington need to sign a good Stand off to replace him rather than a scrum half.

The sooner a lot more follow him back the better for the future of the game in GB and the more spaces for home reared talent and a lot better value for money!

Monas played one game at stand off in 2007 and one game there in 2006. I think you will find Lyon replaced Travis Burns.
Anyway, his form for Warrington has been poor but he's little more than a sideshow when Briers plays. Wire would be much better served by keeping Monaghan and replacing Briers with a less dominant half back.
Monas is a fine player whose best position is at hooker. If Tony Smith started Monaghan at number nine and rotated him with Higham they would be a much better side.
Correct
On Sunday Briers was on the bench and until Monas went off injured he was completely bossing the show with his best game in a wire shirt by a mile.

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

so losing your place to jamie lyon (which he didnt anyway) is nothing to be ashamed of.

Lyon won he MOS as a centre - as you say please keep up?
Mark O'Neil won an NRL trophy does that make him a good player too - you really need to think before you post
Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.
