He's just gone past Simmos 311, next stop Pup on 329.

All jokes aside, this kid was on a 1.2 Million dollar a year four year contract, that's 4.8 Million, more than most of us could earn in a lifetime.

AND

He ****ed it up!!

I worked for 42 years, raised two kids, schooled them, and am able to retire comfortably if I'm very careful.

In the 10-12 years he may have been able to play, invested wisely, and still with some sort of normal job to do afterwords for 30 years he could retire like a king.

Just ****ing stupid, absolutely ****ing stupid!!

Mark, this bloke's dad made 15.5 million - last year - and that's in US dollars. So he's probably not too worried about saving the pennies and planning for retirement the way other players might.

Don't knock it. With an off-season as long as Manly's got we're going to need all the topics we can find.

Can't we get back to bashing Trent? That was heaps more fun

Kill it I say - kill it!

With fire?!

Now that he has screwed parra and joined the Warriors a lot of my animosity has disappeared

While I'm sure they all like the cash, I believe the great athletes are driven to achieve by their competitive nature more than they are driven by money.

Foran seemed to be the epitome of this 5 years ago. It is incredibly sad - and almost unbelievable - to watch the train wreck his life has become.

Every case has a star witness, and when it comes to the NRL's investigation into Kieran Foran, the league's integrity unit wants to talk to Rebecca Pope.

That name may not mean much to many straight away, but those who have followed the Foran story closely will know Pope is Foran's former partner and the mother of his two young children, Emerson and Jordan. The couple's relationship breakdown is central to what Foran has been through. Both parties have been through hell.

Kieran Foran hits out at 'prying' media

Troubled rugby league star Kieran Foran has lashed out at the media for prying into his personal life, assuring fans he has done nothing wrong.

The New Zealand international last week signed with the Warriors on a one-year deal for 2017, putting weeks of speculation to bed, though the NRL must still approve the contract.

Poor Foz. Bloody media won't stop forcing him to be BFF's with a former brothel owner linked to match fixing!

 

[globaleagle]

The boofhead is a delusional narcissistic over entitled ****wit.

I fully expect the nrl (mainly greenbribe) to huff and puff slightly saying that he cant waltz back in to playing footy....but maybe he can play if certain conditions are met.

Which I reckon in reality is when he signs a contract (which he has done.)

The old 'we all want him playing footy and it's what's best for him line' will be trotted out.

However surely the nrl can't expect foz to adhere to any conditions if he wont stay in rehab when he needs it and will only say he'll keep away from certain 'colourful identities' if told too!

The media may report that foz playing next year 'is remote' but I cant see any universe in which the nrl wont register his contract in time for 2017.



(he'll probably sue the nrl if he doesn't get permission to play....then he'll sue his ex to get custody of his kids, then he'll sue air new zealand if he has to pay for airline tickets, then sue ferrari if they dont give him a car.)

Less than 40 to go before he passes Beaver.

Now that he has screwed parra and joined the Warriors a lot of my animosity has disappeared

And he is also supposed to have rejected Des and the dogs for a third time as well.

Don't Kill it, Don't. I love this thread.
We NEED this thread !
Its what gives meaning to our lives
(in the off season - - its the Off Season now isn't it ?)

The media may report that foz playing next year 'is remote' but I cant see any universe in which the nrl wont register his contract in time for 2017.

If they don't register him (and I don't think they will), I think it means they have something big on him.

 

[yokahontas]

If they don't register him (and I don't think they will), I think it means they have something big on him.

Even if they don't have anything big on him *yet*, I wouldn't be surprised if they hold off on registering him anyway - one of those 'take 12 months out, satisfy criteria x, y & z and we'll clear you to play' type deals a few other players have been subject to. Buys the investigators time to really get some iron-clad dirt on him.

Would be pretty embarrassing if they allow him to play and then it comes out in the wash that he's been fixing matches left, right and centre...not to mention other naughty, illegal behaviour.

 

[manlywarringah]

Serve himself right if he gets caught but it would be hard to prove (throwing matches).

I think the NRL will register him as he would be innocent until proven guilty.

I'd imagine he would just have to satisfy certain criteria (Hayson) and it'll all be hunky dory

The Warriors will have a hell of a team next year.
