Manly move to bring Foran home
By The Mole

SECRET talks are under way to get Kieran Foran back to Manly in 2018 on compassionate grounds.
With Foran having all sorts of problems off the field, some of those closest to him believe a return to the familiar surroundings at Manly – and his old mates – is the bet thing to get the star halfback’s life back on track.
Foran is torn because he’s extremely close to Eels coach Brad Arthur but his life and relationships have spiralled out of control over recent months, culminating in a stint in rehab in Queensland.
Injury problems, the revelation huge sums went missing from his TAB account and questions about his relationship with brothel owner Eddie Hayson have only added to his woes.
If Foran asks for a release on compassionate grounds, the Eels would be duty-bound to at least consider giving it to him.
Foran is in the first season of a four-year deal with Parra – but has an option to get out after two seasons.
The 25-year-old, who is sidelined for the rest of the season due to a shoulder injury, was stripped of the club captaincy at the Eels earlier in the week for failing to fulfil his club duties.
