4 times Monas has said it. 1. When he re-signed with Manly, 2. July 11th when he said I'm happy to play where ever Manly wants me to play here's a quote from the man himself on that day "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.
3. July 21st when he welcomed Orford to Manly and stated that he doesn't have a get out clause in his contract here's a quote from him on that day "To be honest I don't want to talk about where I am going to play next year," Monaghan said today.
"There are a couple of options there for me. I spoke to the club today and they agreed they don't want to talk about next season until next year.
"Matt's a great signing for the club but he won't be here until next year - the club's really got to focus on finishing this season well."
and 4. August 1st when he DENIED the rumour that Manly approached Souths to offload him infact it was the other way around Souths approached Manly and guess what Manly turned them down they want Monas to stay a Sea Eagle, Monas even said he wants to stay a Sea Eagle. Here's a quote from Michael's manager and Manly about what Souths said Manly executive director Paul Cummings said Monaghan was contracted to the Sea Eagles for another three years and "that's the end of it".
"We have not approached Souths about Monaghan so basically that's the end of the story," he said.
"As far as we are concerned he has signed for three years with us and that's the end of it from our point of view.
"I don't know where this rumour has started but I can say to you that Michael Monaghan is contracted with us for three more years." and "Souths want Monaghan, Monaghan doesn't want Souths."
