Watching him now and taking into consideration he is 35 it makes you wonder what it must have been like 10-15 years ago being able to watch him week in, week out.

The guy has class and even at 35 is probably our best player. He should get into the dream team at the end of the year if he keeps up this form, but will probably miss out as he's not playing one fixed position.

Caught and cover tackled Offiah in a test, top try scorer for Manly - he was awesome

When you watch him, he seems to do everything right and have great balance. Maybe we're only beginning to see his influence in other players?

These are the kind of imports SL needs, not average journeymen. Menzies is a class act even at 35, which is truly incredible. Against Wakefield the other week I felt apprehensive every time he had the ball.

Remember it well. I'd just jumped out of my seat thinking we were about to score and this Aussie back rower with a stupid helmet has the audacity to catch and then tackle him!

It was a shame that the commentators didn't spot his "Gidley" style flick pass to Sheriffe with about 5mins to go. Menzies just making the point that there are more than 1 superb Aussie centres in SL!

For "The Beaver 2009", read "The Penguin 1997". Hopefully.

What is it with these Aussies and their silly nicknames?

If we get another one - will that be a menagerie a trois?

Menzies was unbelievable on Friday night, as he has been for most of the season. You have to consider as well how quickly he's slotted into Super League rugby, and I imagine we didn't bring him over to play 80 minutes every week, but he's had to do this because of injuries!

Very pleasing to hear his recent comments in the media about wanting to stay. Go Beaver!

Seeing as i don't get to Odsal much these days, i can only assume the club shop has introduced a smart line of "I LOVE BEAVER" merchandise.

Is this so?
