There's a fundamental reason Foran is enjoying the change to Parramatta while the likes of Stewart, Lyon and Matai have remained loyal and driven.
Foran came into a great Manly side in 2009 that was already established, and then enjoyed the spoils of playing in structures and with team mates that guided him and the team forward.
Stewart/Lyon/Matai were part of the original group that had to make it happen, pre 2007 and 2008 Grand Finals.
Simply, Foran is now enjoying taking a team that hasn't tasted any success forward. He hasn't experienced that before - the others have!
Just a pity he picked the worst possible club to do it at.
