And most of those players are on near 1 mil a year. Foz at 350k is an absolute bargain. I'm confused why people don't want him.

Cust has only now got a half decent run at #6 through injury, and is doing a decent job... but you can bet he would be the first one demoted if Foran is signed. Likewise Schuster or Metcalf who were also #6 options.

It doesn't make sense to me when we aren't giving our young players a crack.

Strange when Foran got his debut at 19 and won a premiership with us at 21.

no way the shue will be a 6 definitely a backrower or lock.

Canterbury have signed Blake Green to a one-year deal and will honour the contract despite the veteran rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament for Newcastle last Sunday.

Green is Trent Barrett’s first signing in a homecoming of some sorts for the 33-year-old, who played 18 games for the Bulldogs in 2010.

The Bulldogs moved on Green prior to his injury when it became apparent Kieran Foran would no longer be at the club at season’s end.

Now the pivotal signing has quickly soured following Green’s long-term injury. The two parties have agreed to a one-year deal and both intend on honouring it.

The injury will sideline Green for between six to nine months which basically rules him out of the entire pre-season at Belmore. The best-case scenario is that Green is fit in time for round one but that would fall within the seven month mark.

Barrett and Green are familiar with each other after Green spent one season under the new Bulldogs coach at Manly in 2017 before Green wanted out to secure a rich long-term deal at the Warriors.

Green only featured in three games for the Knights after making a mid-season switch to join a record-equalling seventh club. As he has already played for the Bulldogs, the amount of clubs he has played for would remain at seven.

The Bulldogs see him as a key signing given the lack of experience heading into next year. He will partner either Lachlan Lewis or Brandon Wakeham in the halves after Foran rejected the club’s offer of a one year deal.

Green was to have faced his former club the Warriors on Saturday.

Canberra outside back Nick Cotric has been the major purchase for the Bulldogs heading into next year having added England prop Luke Thompson mid-season and re-signed the likes of Adam Elliott, Will Hopoate and Josh Jackson.

Yep, but Foz came into a side that were defending Premiers and subsequently a regular Top 8 side, a bit different to where we are now.
 
The Chemistry between DCE and Foran is as good as
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers

I would be happy with this, he still can offer a lot and would work well with DCE, it would be nice having two genuine half options, allows walker back to centre.

Having a player like Cust is still vital, need a good back up half and will get plenty of game time off the bench as a 14 as well.

I know but what has that got to do with it... Are you saying that we shouldn't play 19 year olds because we aren't a premiership winning squad?

I find it a little strange that some of the people on here putting the boot into Des for not promoting youngsters are also onboard with the idea of signing 30yo injury-prone Foran... but that's just me.

Once he signs, the Kieran love will ooze back from all the dark recesses of ST, what a ride hey!

Once he signs for anyone he will succumb to one or more of his multitude of existing injuries and the poor club will have to carry him in their cap and top 30 as he will never be medically retired. He will then miraculously take the field towards the end of his contract, play well and somehow conjure up a new deal. Rinse and repeat.
