Parramatta stand down star halfback Kieran Foran

[Bearfax]

I've never resented Foran's decision to move to Parra because in League that is just business. Didnt like what he had to say about Manly but that's no major issue. I've always had a high opinion of Foran as a footballer and given I have a young nephew who is going through a similar marital issue with a baby child, I can understand the pain he must be going through. Add to that the troubles Parra is going through and his injury issues, I'm not surprised he's having a tough time coping.

I'm no lover of Parra but that has nothing to do with the players, especially the ex Manly ones. I wish him well and hope he gets through these serious personal issues and get back to his best personally and as a footballer... but dont play too well against Manly though, please

It's interesting in a purely coincidental was that his best mate is due back from rehab right when he has to go address his own demons.

Bugger Foz and his problems......Gutherson as a replacement WTF!

For the life of me, I cannot understand why this new material was not added to "The Kieran Forum" . . ?? Dan, ? Merge. The cynic in me says the reasons offered by the club are utter fabrications as to what is really going on. The empathiser in me says " "Toughen up Foz" ! Shut happens .

So many rumours. ah well.

For one rumour, maybe he should have been the one to sign with the Gold coke titans.

And for the other, I refer him to these links for Christmas ideas:

https://store.seaeagles.com.au/kids-/sea-eagles-baby-dummy

Don't know if he still gets member pricing though.

But....just rumours though!

Parra fans claiming an addiction to painkillers

No need, I now have control over my emotions. It's the abdominal pain from the hours of laughter and giggling that is the problem now.

There is more to this story and it will come out in the weeks ahead. He has a kindred spirit in Hindmarsh & Sandow who will help him through this.

I would believe it. Ive been out and seen players on the gear. Not manly ones mind you.

Believe it about manly players too.

I heard that he was addicted to crack - Brad Arthurs

 

[Garts]

Believe it about manly players too.

Of course. I am just saying I did not see them. As some said, young cashed up 20 somethings on party drugs. Wow.

 

[cherry_poppins]

Is it what did his now ex say? Karma? Eat a dick foreskin

 

[DVS Matt]

The Betty Foran Clinic for him?

Addiction is addiction, whether it be drugs, gambling or whatever floats your boat. Very often additive personalities suffer from both addictions at the same time.

His ex partner posted on Instagram that she's now a single mummy "through no choice of her own". Sounds to me like someone, and I won't speculate who, has been groping for trout in a peculiar river.

If it was the parramatta river no wonder he was in hospital

It's kinda sad that whenever we're fed stories about rugby league players being stood down for "personal reasons" or family issues we automatically assume it's a cover up for a more specific reason or incident. Perfectly understandable, of course, because it's happened time and time again and it usually does involve a cover up, or at least an attempt by the club involved to spin the story in a particular way. It's very much the Greenberg way, and he now runs the NRL.
Plenty of jokes and mileage to be had here and I don't begrudge anyone the right to a little schadenfreude, but here's hoping he's able to right the course of his life and find happiness somewhere, even if it's in Brad Arthur's loving arms.
