Yep he was

Everyone came from somewhere.

Ballin left the Broncos in 2004 after Wayne Bennett told him he didn't have a future there.  He made his NRL debut for us in 2007.

If we picked him up just before he made his NRL debut I might accept that he was "developed" by the Broncs, but that didn't happen so I think it is fair to say we were the ones that developed him into an NRL player.

You'd take McCrone/Williams over Foran?

You laughing as much as me ?

I was until I realised this dude was serious. That made me sad.

I like McCrone, he is a good guy and a competitive player. But Canberra fans absolutely gave it to him last year. Williams is a good kid as well, but come on - he had a good game against an awful, awful team.

Sit tight for a bit! Foran is a first choice half (along with Benji) for his country for f*cks sake!

 

[The Eagle]

Foran is supposed to set up 50+ tries a game

Definately think you're on your own there Greg. Is it lonely in your pessimistic cave? The only thing for sure this season is that your opinion sux!

 

[The Eagle]

Its not a cave Fonz,its a love nest he can take Ryan into and cover it with a rock for some good privacy

 

[Andrew..]

That's the beauty of footy.... it can be a short trip from the penthouse to the ****house, but it works both ways.
For me, living so far from Brookie I'm just happy to have a place like this where we can have a laugh and kick around our thoughts on the team we all support.
I just hope I get to catch up with a few posters from here when we play at Brisbane or the Goldie later on in the year.

Pessimism or realism I guess we will see by the end of the year, as for the lovers of Foran I don't give a rats what he does or doesn't do for the kiwis it's what he hasn't done for this club since the hype kicked into gear. Let's not forget Olsen Filipaina was a star for the Kiwis but delivered nothing to the people paying his wages.

So...... Would you still take Josh McCrone over Kieran Foran mate?

We've got a winner, a leader and a damn fine footballer in this 20-year-old.

Sterlo rates Foran the best young player in the game today. 

Sterlo knows nothing about the game in your view Greg?

 

[Duff]

Where you at, Greg? Ya prick.

Troll.

 

[lismore_fan]

I'll take 4n's MOM effort today over any 5/8.
Well done Fozzie.

Greg's Choice... your best example really stuffed your example, today.

Ordinarily I think I'm past the stage where I dredge up old posts to make people look stupid, but this was a special case because Foran has copped a surprising among of criticism from a lot of corners - and this bloke took the cake.
