Monaghan played with the Canberra Raiders from 2001 to 2003. He made his first grade debut in round 16 of the 2001 NRL season against Cronulla at Bruce Stadium. Monaghan's last appearance for the club was Canberra's 17-16 elimination finals loss against the New Zealand Warriors during the 2003 NRL finals series.[7]

Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles

[edit | edit source]

Monaghan joined Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in 2004 as halfback, but changed to hooker at the start of the 2006 season due to the purchase of halfback Matt Orford from Melbourne Storm.[6]

He played in the 2007 NRL grand final defeat against the Melbourne Storm. This title was later stripped due to the Melbourne Storm salary cap breach.[8]
