Foran is a Freak

[jbb/james]

I reckon like des pacing the team, as to with Foz. I think he might chuck the kitchen sink at it over the finals campaign .
he is also making everyone on that left side better. they are really starting to gel,

Not imagining, it's been building all year.

It (the comp) ain't over till the fat lady sings...

Foz has complemented DCE superbly this year and it's one of the main factors in us getting in the top 4. So glad he came back home 😀

I meant rolled up into the one complete footballer. Foran has all those things DCE lacks.

But I agree with you, Foz has been great and I don't know how to find stats to confirm or deny, but I've got a feeling that our left side attack has been more dominant over the last couple of months. Foz just seems to be able to make better decisions, isn't afraid to take the line on and has a better passing game. Look how he got the value out of Suli when he came in for Parker. He also uses Parkers fearless line running beautifully to create opportunities. I think that left side attack will be the key going through the finals. Tommy seems more effective on that edge.

DCE has been relying more on kicks for try assists it seems, and it's great to see his attacking kicking game working well. It gives us that extra attacking option that we struggled with earlier in the season. It also makes the best use of Wasabi's skill set. If DCE can get it to click with Guac on that edge we'll have a massive threat there. At the moment it's a bit inconsistent and clunky, they haven't quite got the timing.

Was a big fan of being Foz back where he belongs, he has exceeded the high expectations and stayed on the field for the majority of the year.
He has directed our attack, straightened and fearlessly launched himself into the opposition when required.
The young guys can learn alot from the old fox and not just with skill, but mindset and passion.

Very glad to see Foran on the rise again. Much like Will Hopoate, he reached great heights early on with Manly before ruining a large portion of his career by leaving.

Foran has been great this year at setting up a platform and letting our more dangerous players do their thing

 

[Kevinward777]

Imagine if you could put Forans ticker, composure and leadership with DCE‘s skill set. We would win the comp.

He has been very good, plays direct and gets the best out of those around him. I’m glad we are hanging onto him for another year

Haha - still spewing out the anti DCE diatribe, and appearing more foolish with each passing week. Do you see the tackles our little halfback makes each week? Go Chez - go Manly!

Foz is a champion - and we've got him at a bargain.

Chez's kicks were top notch last night. The boys need to chase better

DCE's kicking game has gone to another level this season, the side ways grubber kick on the run for Tommy to score the last try was brilliant.

My only criticism of his kicking game is he isnt doing enough of them. when you see our chase it seems that no one knows he is going to kick. The whole line is way behind

I could be wrong but the uniformity of the non chase is what im going off.

Someone mentioned that little outside kick for the last try. Skills

Does he get an upgrade next year? He's signed on at bargin bottom this year so probably deserves some extra coin....

Great question... which is hard to answer without being Des or club management with salary cap and roster insight. If there is legitimately spare cash then i would give it to him.

 

[KaZa]

I liked the signing of Goran initially but was concerned about his fitness. How he's managed to play so many games I'll never know. Good fit manly and foran for both parties. Fair play foz and coaching staff

I believe the club have taken up the option on Foran for next season, on how much ? upgrade warranted for sure.

 

[Jerry1]

Foz is just a good fit and perfect partner for turtle.

I am so glad he came back home to finish his career. We needed him and he needed us.

 

[Eagle 1]

Loving Foz's creative mindset atm, those inside balls to a rampaging T Turbo are so lethal, and work because it's all done at speed. With Foz calling the shots on most plays it frees up DCE to freelance a bit and concentrate on his tactical and attacking kicking game. I can't remember the last time we have had such a potent attacking side as this one, probably are last Golden period you might say, but we have so many options this season.

Goran always played his best games for Croatia.

He had a great first serve as well

ill admit ive fallen back in love with k foz. if only he stayed. what would have been.

An easier pass if he knew how . If Foran has half the possesion that Evans get, we would win by 50 every week .
