A wise man (possible android) once said “Sometimes to love someone, you got to be a stranger...”

Be free Foz. We are best served by you being someone else’s problem, cap clogger.

If Des is even considering Foran the mad scientist has finally lost his mind.
Hopefully the board see it for what it is, without sentiment.

 

[Shoe1]

Sounds like a lot of speculation to me.
'Foran great mates with DCE?' Since when? Does anyone know if DCE was at Foran's wedding?
I can remember in 2015 Foran pushing DCE out of the way on the field. Foran and his possy clearly ostracising DCE with their body language, it was very evident.

Dce would have had to send a telegram from the nz tour.

No thanks to Foran.

I never want to see him in a Manly Jersey again, after his disgraceful efforts in Albury a few years back.
That was unforgivable.

 

[ManlyTragic]

If the bulldogs have s salary cap issue and they want / need to off load players I would prefer we take Will Hopoate off their hands than an aging injury ridden Foran.

 

[HappilyManly]

Good player, once great, and we got much better strength and conditioning coaches back at the club in Donny Singe and Matty Ballin (soon), so may keep him more fit.

Fiz doesn't lack fitness, his cartilage and damaged bone structures can not be helped by diet and exercise sadly.

3 Clubs' medicos and physios would have worked tirelessly on him but he still only managed a few months on the field.

Watching him last year it was obvious to the Commentators that he stopped running as soon as he could flick the ball on.

Hopefully Manly take a season or two to review his game time effectiveness.

We had Matai and Snake unable to get their bodies to respond to treatment and don't need to burden our reduced Cap any further in 2019

Des can mentor him off field, on his own time if he wants

 

[MadMarcus]

My opening offer would be for the Dogs to release Foz and Klemmer to us and pay both their contracts in full

 

[HappilyManly]

I’m sure this is just slow news day garbage but it’s still a scenario that scares the crap a lot of Manly fans.

[MadMarcus]

I strongly doubt Dessie is going to consider him unless A- We can get him real cheap, and B- He’s confident Kieran can overcome the problem with his foot and play to his potential.

Not sure it’s a foot. I saw him in the change rooms once and it looked more like 6 or 7 inches to me.

Before making a decision, I advise that silvertails re-read this thread from page 1.

There is enough material for a PhD thesis.

Got to admit I didn’t see much of him in 2018, and certainly aren’t up to date on his injuries. I thought it was his fitness mainly and just a few unlucky injuries here and there, but that changes everything seeing it’s an ongoing injury. In that case, if he’s like Hodkinson, he may only prove an ok backup, so I’m out

 

[Moops]

Oh God, what a backward step that would be. I hope the club has told Hasler a firm NO. Not even for a minimum contract should he be signed. At this stage of his career he is what the AFL would call a 'list-clogger' - he's done!!

 

[double hoops]

Not sure Mr Penn can handle any more investigations at our club.

 

[bob dylan]

Mr Matchfix.

No thanks. .

 

[Nice Beaver]

Eddie Hayson anybody?

Bloody hell, some have nostalgic glasses on and forget that nightmare of a situation.

1. Body - broken
2. Hayson/match fixing
3. Screwed us with the contract negotiations stringing along

I really hope his mental health is back on track and he is in a good place, but no goodam way we should entertain having him back.

DES Hasler wants to get his 2011 premiership-winning five-eighth Kieran Foran back home to the Sea Eagles.

It’s just a matter of finding the money.

Manly don’t have a penny to spend in their 2019 salary cap, which is $400,000 less than rival clubs as a penalty for being sprung last year rorting third-party agreements.

Foran is on more than $1 million a season at the Bulldogs for another two years. He joined Canterbury specifically to play under Hasler, who was sacked before he got there.

The Sunday Telegraph understands the Bulldogs would release Foran and even contribute significantly to his salary if he wants to join Manly, leaving Hasler to find about $500,000.

you left out the line from the article:

'The Kiwi five-eighth is now 28 and has had a tough few years with injuries. Yet he will start pre-season training in two weeks with a healthy body for the first time in three years.'

the same thing has been written about him in the pre season at parra, at the warriors & also last year at the dogs

 

[Woodsie]

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

With your Managers cap on would you risk a spot in your 30 and pay upwards of $500k for him given his past 3 years ? .... he might come good but the downside is too big for me ....
