I'd be fine with Foran but only under a couple of circumstances.

- He is on a small contract (200-400k)
- He is on a short contract (1 year or 2 years)
- And there is a clause involving injuries meaning we can't be stuck with him on the cap for 2 years where he can't play.

If those were met I'd be fine with it, he is a good player. That one year in NZ showed that, if he can put a season together he could be the difference between finals.

Ultimately I don't think this will happen, mainly due to our cap position. Elgey will get the gig and will do great, building us into the future.

I wish him all the best just not at our club.

Fiz only had 29% winning record at the Warriors

High risk signing for Manly if ever there was one

 

[stoodamire]

If he does sign, let’s hope he turns out to be a Ben Kennedy like signing.

Everyone wrote him off and said his body wasn’t up to it.

We all know how that ended up in the end.

Dogs will be pushing big time for us to sign Foran to free up money to upgrade Klemmer

 

[wombatgc]

He can keep Hodko company in rehab.

Agree, so why help them out.
Do what the opposition least want you to do.

Has DT got it back to front. Is Des actually after Klemmer, not Foran?

I was referencing his form for NZ which was pretty strong.

Ok

His highlight year was 2016 at Parra, then his form/attitude fell away

I still think we can get him back to a quality 6 but I'm fine if we stick with Elegy also.

The only way that would happen would be if we lost Taupau.

 

[Briza]

The only way that would happen would be of we lost Taupau.

Straight swap, he can go to where he started and Clem can come play footy with his mate Jake.

Dam I hope this Foz returning concept goes away. All the confidence of DES returning, and actually looking forward to next year, the current excitement for the year ahead would loose some it's shine if Sorry gets the broken down dodgy Foz bloke back.

It would be a crazy signing. Arko would have found a way to sign Klemmer.

 

[mozgrame]

I'll be honest...I have not bothered keeping up with the Klemmer thing. I thought he wanted out of Sydney and was wanting to go to Newcastle???

 

[Briza]

I think it's an overwhelming no thanks to foz, and I also believe it's a media beat-up.
But just in case, can someone explain to Lyle gorman that if he signs with Manly we'll burn down the Jane try stand.
Actually might be a good way to get a new stadium

 

[Andyvb88]

Apparently it might be afb swapped for foz, I hope not

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Could play an organizing role similar to Blake green. Not what he once was, but could play a role I think, provided he stays on the field. A 50% Foran is probably better than any of our other options, including elgey.

He can't play the way he used to. But could he play the Cooper Cronk grand final role, just being on-field to direct everyone else? Probably.
But so much gamble would be involved in signing a player with such ongoing physical issues. And that is not even to mention the emotional dramas, gambling problems, criminal associates, and I'm pretty sure he has previously threatened to sue the club.
Rugby league never fails to surprise but this would just about take the cake.

I really can't see Des letting ether Tapau or AFB go.

Breaking news on NRL Rumours and Updates page on Facebook who is usually on the money !!
He said his received word from one of his inside sources that Kieran Foran will return to the Manly Sea Eagles with Addin Fonua Blake heading to the Canterbury Bulldogs to replace the void left by departing prop David Klemmer.

PLEASE NOOOO WHAT A DISASTER AFB WAS OUR BEST FOWARD !!!! I will be so pissed if this actually happens what is hasler thinking
