The Kieran Forum

[Mark from Brisbane]

To be honest I'm surprised the NRL would endorse the contract.

Surely with everything that's gone on he needs more time to recover.

And then of course the rumours won't go away!!

 

[ALinda]

I thought playing again was the furthest thing from his mind and I'm surprised he's in a fit state to even contemplate his future. Wonder how long he'll last this time.
Aside from this, I pity his kids. Its sad, just sad....

 

[niccipops]

The integrity unit mustn't have much integrity.
The warriors should have to pay as much as parra.

 

[robbiea]

Living overseas away from your kids couldn't be good for your mental stability.

So Foran, who's apparent market value according to Parramatta is 1.4 mill per season, has a contract registered with the NRL for 600k.

Glenn Stewart on the other hand, who the NRL perceived was worth XXXXX, was not allowed to have a contract registered by the NRL, as they believed he was worth more.

**** me dead Greenburg - no wonder people aren't watching the game anymore. Go give some more cash to Hayne, so he can steer it to his Bikey mates.

 

[robbiea]

Worriers are denying they signed him.

 

[Ryan]

If they continue to keep Hayne registered, who has just done a deal with a Hells Angel's motorbike member, they sure as hell should register Foran.

Won't even go into the fact that Norman was re-signed

Greenberg has signed the Hells Angels as the official outlaw motorcycle gang of the NRL. It has caused great controversy among home grown gangs such as the Gypsy Jokers and the Black Ulans, and rightly so. Why has the NRL gone with an American-import outlaw gang??

NRL: Warriors' bid to sign Kieran Foran could be blocked by 'Israel Folau' rule

The Warriors are confident of signing Kieran Foran but could struggle to afford him.

The NRL's 'Israel Folau' rule could prevent the Warriors from signing troubled Kiwis international Kieran Foran.

The Warriors are believed to be close to securing the former Manly and Parramatta playmaker on a one-year deal for next season but the possibility of the NRL enforcing a notional value rule could see the Auckland-based outfit struggle to fit him beneath the salary cap.

The same rule famously prevented Parramatta from securing the signature of former Kangaroo and Queensland State of Origin star and current Wallaby wing Israel Folau when he considered a return to league in 2013.

Folau was priced out of the Eels range as the NRL attempted to thwart potential cap loopholes with heavily back-ended contracts and numerous third-party deals.

The Warriors prospects of signing Foran hinge largely on the fact he is reportedly willing to sign on for much less than the multi-million dollar contract that he was on at Parramatta prior to being granted a release on compassionate grounds in July.

Warriors managing director Jim Doyle is confident of the Warriors chances of snaring the 26-year-old five-eighth but said they would not be able to afford him if the NRL classed his value in the vicinity of $1 million per season.

"If that's the case then he won't be here at the Warriors," said Doyle.

"We've got no contract at this point in time with Kieran. That's still a work in progress. We continue to talk to him on a regular basis.

"I would say I'm confident but, as I say to some people, if I would say we were the favourites but the favourite doesn't always win."

Come on Mark ...... it's the NRL you're talking about. They'd be too scared to do anything. They talk a good game but do nothing.

 

[Wombat Legacy]

Foran is on the nose with the NRL-expect him to be blocked. Once the betting scandal mud gets thrown, it usually sticks

... unless the dogs ask nicely of course

 

[HoldenV8]

Apparently the Dogs are going to table an offer to Foran as early as today.

I have to laugh at the Speels fans on social media who are blowing up about the prospect of Foran playing anywhere next year (especially another Sydney club). Those dummies actually think that he shouldn't be allowed to play unless doesn't-matta get compensation for it LOL.

That rabble signed him to an insane 4 year deal that as it turned out didn't even last one single year. Not to mention that he was signed when they were already over the salary cap.....and their feral fans think the club should get some sort of compensation for it?

They can have Wiliame or Lewis Brown if they like hehehe.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well whoever steps up and signs him could well have an interesting time , he comes with an extraordinary load of baggage attached and he's no guarantee to even lace on the boots in 2017 anyway.

Would you take him and Des back if they were both on the table?

 

[HoldenV8]

IF he's the player at the centre of the alleged match fixing he won't be playing regardless who he signs with, if anyone.

And lets face it, whether he is actually guilty or not right now he would be one of the chief suspects in the investigations that are supposed to be on-going.

Would you take him and Des back if they were both on the table?

Foran no. Des maybe.

At least Des still did his best as coach and took us to a premiership even if he had signed with the Dogs by then. From the time Gifty wasn't offered a contract (or a decent one)....how many good games would you say Foran played for Manly in his last 18 months, which includes the time after he had signed with doesn't-matta?

 

[ricardo]

If Kieren is cleared of any wrongdoing, gets his head right and apologises unreservedly for his behaviour prior to leaving us then yes I'd have him back.

It would seem the (Bec) Pope has inherited the beaches though so he may wish to be as far away as possible, hence the NZ move.

What if it's a blackjack table?
