Maybe they were referring to the premiership where we got dudded by Hayne.

I still think there will be more to be said about that game.

Baffling how the Roosters were by far the most penalised team that year, yet somehow won the GF penalty count 8-2... with the last penalty that went against them being in the 15th minute.

No one will say anything for fear of being measured up for a pair of uncle nicks cement boots...

Look, it wasn’t personal.

It was, you know....business.

What about when Hargreaves head butted Kite and Kite got penalised.
I’m not one to harp on about refs as I believe if you are good enough you can beat the ref as well. But that game had to be one the worst examples of ref biased going around.

Article on Foran says he will not be dogs dominate half this year.
1.2 million well spent.

No different here. Our dominant pay packet wants to play second fiddle

'I was a ticking time bomb': Foran reveals incredible debt to Eels

Only people deep within Parramatta's inner sanctum will know this story.

Some Eels players still don't know.

How Parramatta coach Brad Arthur tried to be Kieran Foran's saviour. When the star five-eighth's life was hurtling out of control. When he was struggling to cope with the expectations of being the club's $4.8 million megastar. When he was just a couple of months away from trying to take his own life..........

A couple of months away from taking his own life??
Did he swallow a heap of slow release fertilizer or something ?

 

[HappilyManly]

But the Dalai fired Fiz - duty of care stopped quick smart as soon as he was injured 😎

Fiz how about 'Thanks Manly for managing my mental issues quietly behind closed doors for years'

I am a couple of months away from winning lotto.

Don't know the full story but I remember all the carry on about Foz being the next Sterling. Foz leading them to a premiership. For the saviour of parramatta. He was still quite young at the time.
His betrayal of Manly is all tied up in this. He was just another good player at Manly but he left to become parra's great white hope.
I think the parra club, media and fans have to take some responsibility for the pressures placed on him. They all went crazy for him. Part of their delirium was of course from stealing him from Manly.
These players are young men who can play sport. They're not superstars or heroes.

 

[The '47ers]

Still, no excuse for wearing a manbun

 

[Budgie]

A couple of months away from taking his own life??

In a very crowded field, that may well be the most stupid line ever written by a sports journo.

 

[Order66]

Bravo Foran hes playing very well today.. nice try we used to do that back in his manly days. Dont know why we dont any more

 

[Order66]

This is why Des wanted Foran the guy has a great footy brain. He leads the team he puts his body on the line and he tackles hard.. Good for him, he was always better then dce

 

[court83]

What the hell Is going on with forans hair??????

 

[The Who]

I thought he played well today in a beaten side.
But yeah, his hairstyle is shocking.

 

[ALinda]

I'd say a mid-life crisis...at the grand old age of 28

 

[BOZO]

At least he has hair .

Makes you wonder how they measure that????

 

[MissKate]

He was quoted as saying the current Bulldogs team is equal best to any side he has ever played in, including Manly 2011!
Get that up ya

Geez, if he thinks that then he is an even worse mess than we all thought
