^ Yes, consistently not as good as Foran. Cherry can do things Foran will never be able to do, but I'd always pick Foz ahead of him (and pretty much anyone else) in any of my teams.
Whether he'll stay or not, who knows? But you can't doubt his guts and commitment to winning. He also has a pretty handy skill set.
I want him to stay. I do worry, however, as good as Cherry is, that the idea of playing week in week out with Shaun Johnson has to be something of a lure for him. Johnson has been incredible through the Four Nations.
