EXCLUSIVE BY MICHAEL MONAGHAN "I DON'T WANT TO GO ANYWHERE"
Manly captain Michael Monaghan says media speculation that he would seek a release from the club if the Sea Eagles signed Melbourne Storm halfback Matt Orford were unfounded.
"I have just signed a new contract with Manly and I don't want to go anywhere - I am a player and it is up to the club to sign who they like.
Ï have no problems with Matt Orford coming to the club or any player that management thinks can help us win a premiership.
"I'm amazed that someone has written that I will seek a release when I have never said such a statement"Monaghan said.
Monaghan told coach Des Hasler and executive chairman Paul Cummings late today that he was totally committed to the Manly club.
"I have a new contract with Manly and intend to fulfil it to the best of my ability.
Ït's not my position as a player to tell my employer who they can and can't buy and I would never do that.I'm happy at Manly and if Matt Orford comes to the club it is obvious only one of us could play in the number seven.
"Where I play is up to the coach as it is every week.Sure I prefer halfback but I have played elswhere.
Ï want the Manly fans to know that I have never threatened to seek a release and won't be.
Ï love it at Manly and right now am excited at the remainder of the 2005 season with the club.We have a lot more of a noise to make yet and are seeking a couple of wins to ensure a finals position before resetting our goals,"Monaghan said.[/font]
