MONAGHAN SIGNS FOR THREE YEARS FOR THE MANLY SEA EAGLES
Manly today signed captain Michael Monaghan to a new three year contract.


Monaghan agreed to a new term after meeting with his manager Jim Banighan,Sea Eagles Executive Chairman Paul Cummings,Head coach Des Hasler and major shareholder Max Delmege early today.


Monaghan and Banighan discussed the offer for several hours and then fronted a press conference with Manly management.


Both the Sea Eagles management and Monaghan and his management admitted the negotiations could have been handled better.


Paul Cummings said he apologised to fans for the manner in which the Monaghan negotiations had been handled.


"The club apologises to the players,fans and sponsors and is delighted the issue has been settled,"Mr.Cummings said.


Monaghan's manager Jim Banighan also said the negotiations got out of hand in the media.


"It should have been handled better and I accept part of the blame,"Banighan said.


Michael Monaghan told the media he was proud to continue with the Sea Eagles.


"I apologise for what I said about the club in the press over the weekend - if I had my time again I wouldn't say those things about the club where I am happy to play with a great bunch of blokes and under a coach I respect enormously.


"I'm determined this will make me a better person and captain.
"I never wanted to leave and I'm now going to concentrate on doing the best I can to be part of a premiership winning team with Manly,"Monaghan said.

I feel sorry for the other clubs they all thought they had a chance to get Monas.

Now that he's signed up, watch how crap he'll go for the rest of the season, he had absolute shocker against the Bunnies.

What, one game and he'll go crap all season......I guess the crap games Kimmorely had and the ordinary start Gower had means they'll play crap the rest of the season too

 

[Beaches Boy]

Even when Monas is at his best, he is still crap! he has the same amount of Attacking ability as the Fijian Army. Monas is a top class defender and that is about the best I can say about him.

 

[canteen worker]

Monas has been solid for Manly but I am not sure he is rated in the top echelon of halves. He seems to go missing when needed to drive his team around the park and lacks the big play that so many other top halves possess. His game does not complement Witt either. Defence seems quite good most of the time!

I hope that Monas can play hooker where he would be a sensation and that Manly can jag a top level half.

 

[Wobbygong]

I agree he offers very little in attack and will be sorely found out in the semis up against quality halves.

I hope that Monas can play hooker where he would be a sensation and that Manly can jag a top level half.

Spot on....I reckon he's doing a great job right now considering he's really out of position and should be hooker!
