13 Minutes gone and he's made 1 break that nearly led to a try but Orford dropped the ball, 1 40-20 attempt that just went out before the 20 and 1 40-20 that was succesful and absolutely huge.

He's now gone off on 16 minutes with a concussion.

Monaghan has had a stormer, can't wait see him in p&b.

He played the whole second half with a concussion and he was still impressive, can't wait to see him play in the P&B.

Monaghan was the stand out player in the game, he was virtually untouchable before he went off with concussion in the 1st half. His kicking game is also very good, this is why i have said in the past that Monaghan will have a far bigger impact for us than the more expesive Matt King.

The winners of the GF will come from tomorows game, Manly were good but i think they were made to look very good at times through some dreadful tackling from the Cowboys, they missed numerous one on one tackles which lead to manly getting some good field position.

I agree. In Monaghan and Berrigan i think our 2 clubs have made 2 of the best signings since the SL era began. Personally i cant wait to see both of them do their thing (although i dont mind if Monaghan has a couple of off-days against us )
