Tahu out, Monaghan in and Andrew Johns quits over racism row before S.O.O. II

[Vic Mackey]

Lol what a joke monaghan is a geniused ranga. The bloke is barely first grade standard anymore. Lawrence, Jennings, Merritt, burt or either Gordan would have been better options

 

[Snoochies]

Joel is someone who may actually be able to contest the high ball against Israel. It's no secret that Queensland will put up the high ball to Folou so you need someone who can compete under the highball. There are better attacking wingers in the comp but that's useless if they are easy pickings against Folou.

while being happy joel is in the team im not sure with he's injury he has shown enough to warrant this selection.

but I hope he has a blinder for nsw's sake!

Monaghan will play on the right wing, marking Boyd. Morris is on the left marking Folau.

 

[ANTiLAG]

Any news on why Tahu left?

 

[gronkathon]

So Joel and White are sharing the "my form sure as sh*t didn't earn me a rep jersey" suite I take it?

Knowing NSW we will see Hayne to wing, Gidley to start and Monas to the bench anyway

 

[hellteam]

Probably a good thing for NSW really. Tahu has been average this year.

 

[Evenflow]

Meh, a spent force.

 

[Moffo]

monas will go alright, he is mr reliable

 

[aussies1st]

Monaghan should do just fine, been in good form since returning from injury and is good under the high ball.

 

[Lambretta]

Well Monaghan has three days to learn how to leap 60 metres then. No problem!

I stated earlier that I preferred the Monaghan selection over Tahu, but honestly it wasnt much of a difference.

Monaghan has played three games so far this season. In those three games he has scored 0 tries.

This blistering form and his stability obviously convinced the selectors that he was the man for the job.

Woops my bad, I thought Tahu was marking Folou originally.

I need to check facts before writing.#-o

 

[innsaneink]

At least a real wingers now on the wing

 

[schnitzel]

Monas had a real strong game last round, he'll go well.

 

[Tiger_Tim]

Any news on why Tahu left?

Apparently had a blue with one of the players, according to Triple M. They're having a press conference shortly

 

[innsaneink]

....even tho he's done SFA this year...

 

[God-King Dean]

SFA is better than a guarenteed 4 Tahu mistakes.

 

[MightyBronco]

What a soft c**k.

What a silly situation.

What a stupid replacement.

What a stupid footy team.

 

[Ike E Bear]

Mysterious.

It might be something like a death in the family.

You'd think it'd be significant, since it probably marks the end of his Origin career.

 

[Paullyboy]

Bugger it, why did they have to take Mona's away from the Raiders. Surely there is a bulldog or dragons player they haven't tried yet
