Its the 3 ply Telegraph so I choose not to believe a word.

Please let it be the usual tripe spun by these fiction writers.

Please.....

Loved Foran when he was here, but he ain’t the same player.
He played so hard for Manly taking the line on over and over again. He would hold the ball till the last second to draw the player then shoot off the pass only to be smashed in the tackle.
I’ll try and find the footage of him getting smashed by a Gold Coast player (who’s name eludes me right now). He got two of the biggest hits put on him that night. He did it a lot, and set up his outside players but he’s paying the price now.

If he could stay fit Des would get the best out of him

Gee we would be well stocked for halves. Between Foz and Croker and Hodko we could get 18-20 games, leaving Elgey to miss tackles in only 5 or 6.
By George, it just might work.

No thank you!

It was Sam Tagatese.

We cant go back to Foran, to me that is just fantasy!

You spelt Ryan James wrong

Foran was a quality footballer who spilt blood and got smashed repeatedly while playing for Manly.
That player is gone.
The mind is willing but he is a victim of his own toughness.
Sad.

Loved Foran when he was here but too much water under the bridge, to much baggage and to many hits.... I would not want to lose a couple of players for yet another half when we need wingers.

Fact or fiction I don't want to believe a word

Crazy to spend our limited funds on damaged goods

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

Yes Tagatese gets him on numerous occasions. I just watched the highlights of this game and our halves stood so deep and got such crisp ball from Ballin.

I’ve said it numerous times on this site but DCE stands too shallow nowadays. Maybe it’s due to the quality of the ball he gets from Api or it is what’s being coached.

Will be interesting to see how DCE goes when Des gets Api passing well.

Oh dear.

He was that good I’d give him a shot- such a talent even 1-2 season is worth a shot....simply not s long term deal...had a few tonight but this bloke was up with BK & the Stewart boys in our success

 

[manlyfan76]

He hasn't strung two good games together in five years.
It's a no.

 

[weev]

$500,000?

Isn't that what Mr Trent Barrett is asking for as a 'payout' - a payout for resigning, failing, and not having all his dreams come true?

For $105k he can have a run.

A cent more is stupidity.

In fact, $105k s a stretch, but its the minimum now (I believe).

Totally get the sentiment mate, but just think he is too damaged mentally and physically unfortunately.

 

[Jigzkiller]

Don't like it but no doubt Des wants it to happen. I can see him shifting someone on.
