Just now on BSB, Jamie Lyon said: They were nervous before their first game this year with all the new faces. Their first training session since the Warriors game happens at 9am today. Having the youngsters in the halves is making him feel ten years younger. Broookie's had an upgrade - they've fixed a couple of seats. He's been working with a kicking coach - Damian Hill. Coincidentally, his golf swing has also improved. He hopes we give Foran the same welcome he gets every time he goes back to Parramatta but minus the coins maybe.
Ah but according to Sterlo on Triple M on Monday night - Manly fans should be giving Fozzy Bear a "very generous reception" at Brookvale on Thursday night.
After the way Foran played in his last 18 months here following the decision to let Gifty go.....they expect us to warmly welcome this clown back to Brookvale even though he will be playing for our arch enemy? What drugs are these people on? Remember, Manly didn't want to lose Foran. He chose to leave.
Last year, when we had Gifty return in Souffs colours, he went out of his way to rough Sooky Pants up. Not sure why, but Foran laughed it off in the post game interview Matai may get him on his zig, then Kapow on his zag
Gifty was welcomed back regardless of the Freddy Kruger jumper because despite the circumstances surrounding his departure from Manly, he left in a dignified manner. And if any ex-Manly player had the right to publicly unload on the club, it was Gifty. But he didn't do that. Foran should not be given the same courtesy.
Killer is a champion and is worth 10 of Forme! All I am interested in tomorrow night is that our fans do what they do really well and make Brookvale a fortress and make it an extremely uncomfortable place for our eternal enemies.
If Jamie says give Foran curry then we really should step up and support our team. Write those banners now! Didn't gift put a crusher on choc first chance he got?
You mean do the Benny Hill slap on his bald head? Or the Alexei Sayle insult? 'Hey baldy slap head, you look like an explosion in an ugly factory'.
G'day all,Nor did he publicly unload on his brother, Foran,Watmough or Matai who were openly firing bullets on his behalf,and happily destabilising the team and undermining Toovey in the process. cheers mike
Why did Gift have a right to publicly unload on the club? The guy played 45 games from the last 3 seasons at Manly. His pro rata rate would have been over $1M a year - the club had every right not to offer him a decent contract given his history, he had told them what amount he was after and there was a huge chasm in between. Souffs did offer him about 600K and got half a season out of him. Sure the guy was great but his body was past it unfortunately, right call by Manly, right call by Gifty to go grab his super OS. Look forward to seeing him back after retirement in a year or 2
I thought it was Matai who copped it from Gift, not Foran. Matai went off dazed and with a smashed nose if I recall, though they shook hands after.
