Kieran looks permanently closer to tears than at any time over the past six years. And he coulda been a contender...for the 21st Century Ian Martin Prize.

I honestly think it started as a motivation issue. Unfortunately for Foran, his lack of effort is now a learnt habit. That will be very difficult for him to break. Once you learn how to quit it becomes very difficult to unlearn!

I won't yet label Foran in this way, but it sure sounds like Choc from his comments of late. Loss of motivation within a successful club, so he switches for a new challenge and is soon facing the same struggles.
Are the eels allowed to back out or is it just the player?If the Eels had any brainpower they would back out before the deadline.
He's broken, simple as that. Whether time will fix him is the million dollar question for the Squeels. At any rate, I doubt he will be the footballer he was at the beginning of his career and I'm bloody glad we didn't pay top dollar to get him to stay.I think that would be sad.
I don't disrespect Foran as much as I do Watmough, after, all he made a decision to leave but hasn't bagged the crap out of the club, albeit yet, if he does he's in the same vote as Anthony, persona non grata.
But I'd be sad for him personally if he never achieves any more than he has already, and it makes me wonder if in fact he knew his body was rooted last year, and Manly knew but Parramatta didn't , and in essence he may have bluffed the Eels into paying huge dollars for him knowing full well he'd only play at 60% for the rest of his career.
Who knows, only time will tell.
Both , remember Fifita at the BulldogsAre the eels allowed to back out or is it just the player?
Yes indeed that would be " Karma"Problem for Foran is that its one thing to be a bit over rated in a team of champions (no one notices). Its another thing however to be over rated and arrive as the 'saviour' of a club with a 30 year history of mediocrity who have just thrown a massive slab of their salary cap at you. This is when you get found out. Foran's not happy this year. I suspect he's gonna be in a lot more pain next year when the squeals realise they haven't got a Brett Kenny who's gonna singlehandedly turn games for them. I'm not sure Foz has worked this out yet. Karma indeed.
If he trys to Backflip, grab his ankles on their way past, so he can't.WE JUST DONT WANT HIM. He's gonna be ordinary for the Squeals too. Its not his fault, its just fate.
His most 'noble' choice would be to retire.
He'll be taking that money under false pretences.Not with 5 Million on the line
Maybe Marlon is his middle name?Foz: "You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it."
and a **** load of $$$$$ coming his wayForan is fragile, all he has left is his ego unfortunately.
