Kieran Foran won’t backflip on Parramatta Eels deal, saying he is happy with his decision
Speaking with The Daily Telegraph on Monday, Foran confirmed he would play with the Eels next season and never considered backflipping before the NRL’s round 13 deadline.
As speculation mounts his Manly teammate Daly Cherry-Evans could renege on a Gold Coast contract, Foran said: “I can only speak on behalf of myself because I don’t know what is going on with Daly’s future but I will be honouring my deal.
“I am comfortable with my decision and happy with it.”
Asked whether he ever considered backflipping, Foran said: “No, it was something we spoke about when going through the process of my deal.
“I spoke about it with my manager (Paul Sutton) and with Parramatta. We were aware of it and spoke about the fact I was comfortable and happy with my decision.
“Everyone’s situation is different and, like I said, I can’t comment on Chez’s (Cherry-Evans) situation. But I guess for myself that is why I took such a long time to make the decision.
“I wanted to be sure about it. I knew once I had made it that I was comfortable and knew as of 2016 I was going to be at Parramatta.”
Foran said Manly had not tried to persuade him to stay since he announced his decision.
“I think Manly have been really great in respecting my decision and accepting it,’’ Foran said.
“They haven’t tried at all. I just have to get back on the field and play some good footy.”
While wanting to focus purely on this year, Foran praised Parramatta’s signing of Newcastle and NSW hardman Beau Scott, which was confirmed on Monday.
“It will be a great boost. He’s a quality player, he’s played Origin, played for Australia,” Foran said.
“He is a world-class back-rower and someone with his wealth of experience, he’s such a tough player, I am sure he will add value to that pack. I just have to concentrate on this year.”
And Manly need Foran too. The Sea Eagles are running last — a sight not seen at Brookvale for more than a decade.
Foran is hoping to return from a torn hamstring injury for Saturday night’s important match against Melbourne at AAMI Park.
Pressed on running last, Foran said: “It’s a different feeling. Ever since I have been in first grade we have always been sitting thereabouts. After seven rounds, to be situated down there on the bottom, it’s an unusual feeling. Unfamiliar feeling.
“But there is still a lot of faith and belief in the playing group and no-one has really been too down and out, which is great to see. I guess in situations like this you can get down and out and negative. But everyone is upbeat and positive and feel we’re not too far off. We just need to claw our way to that first win and then we can hopefully get on a roll after that.

On the radio heard he praised Parra for the Beau Scott signing. He is one player i'm happy won't be backflipping. He could have easily just replied "that's next yr and i'm just focused on this season, no comment"
fck him and close this thread now . I hope Kelly shows his worth and gets a third party deal going for the one that really wanted to stay and that is DCE
"Claw our way to that first win..."
????
doesn't he consider victories where he wasn't playing as wins for manly?
Lucky he doesn't work for his dad....because with his attitude..... "dcm"

Who cares what the prick is comfortable with? I'd be comfortable with him f**king off to another planet. I really don't want to see him in a Manly jersey ever again.

Shame we cant do a deal and be rid of him now. We better get used to having our noses rubbed in it by the Manly hating press.
I am at the stage when i hear either of them speak i turn the channel. They no longer are Manly its that simple for me.

And how convenient, he just can't play this weekend as he needs another week, just in time for a MOTM performance for the Kiwi's ( you watch him go, it will be the $oran of old in the Test Match on the 1st of May.
lol this guy is a real prick he has just praised the eels on signing Beau Scott it is obviously a backhand at our management what the idiot doesn't realise is we couldn't spend money we were saving it for you you selfish prick.
We dodged a bullet with this guy to consider some saw him as a future captain.

He certainly had a lot of discussions and thoughts and processes for a deal done in an hour supposedly.

Foran affirms he won't backflip. He really does want out. As he's never played for another club the grass must appear greener. But that grass is in Parramatta. He'll end up missing Manly as he enters his second year in westie-land.
He won't miss us and we won't miss him either.

Going to Parra for 4 years, now thats Karma 😀
With his untimely comments about how great it is that Parra have signed Beau Scott....I think Foran deadset resents being stuck here...Where is the strong leadership from our club regarding those comments.
The politically correct brigade can say it's only a game..but this charade makes me sick.

I get a feeling the club would be pissed off with that as well.
Who knows maybe a mid season swap, Foran for ?????
Apart from Lussick, who it's claimed is heading to the Titans , who do you think the Squeals would let go in return for $forme?

They hate Hoppa and Pauli Pauli seems to be in reserves
Both could work for us
Both could work for us
They'de probably gladly send Watmough back haha.....but I'd be OK with getting Peni Terepo. He's young and has plenty of grunt and I'm not sure they will have room for him with all the forwards they've purchased.
I'd like to see him in the team as a future starter with Jake T .
