RE: the "Kieran Forum"

Mr I and Rambo are still to come, that's sure to add another 100 or so, speaking of them where are they???

 

[MadMarcus]

When we hit 1000 posts are we going to have Millenium Bug style issues? Does it mean my microwave will start thinking it's a fridge?

Reynolds is quite good. It's their halfback that is crap. I reckon Des wanted Foran to play 7.

I reckon this whole pursuit of Foran has been a ruse from the beginning. When the dislickers wanted De$ they intentionally spread the rumour that they were chasing Ricky Stuart.

I reckon their real target all along has been T-Rex and they have sent Manly on a wild goose chase after Foran, bumping up what we pay him so we can't then match them for T-Rex.

 

[swoop]

Im devastated, I don't know what we are going to speculate on now

It will be T-rex, the Stewart bros, Matai, Ballin, lussick, etc,etc,etc even the ones not off-contract. Then the media will then hone in on our "fractured board", then senior group apparently being at loggerheads with the board and blah, blah blah. Oh, wait a minute that's already starting to happen.

Well done for Manly retaining Foran (if indeed true). Of course it will come at the cost of a few other high profile players (I dare say) and potentially his brothers career.

Just goes to show money is stronger than family !

Might help having a strong halves combination, but with a few players to be pushed out, an ageing side, and very little NSW Cup/Toyota Cup depth, sooner or later there will be bigger issues than signing up 3 players on huge contracts.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ricciardi and Foran (Liam) look elsewhere now, as theres no space for them in NRL at Manly short of an injury. That also means an injury to either halves player for Manly could be bad.

Interesting theory - a bit convoluted, but interesting. If they get T-Rex they will seriously have to adjust their forward pack balance, too many "power" forwards IMO.

69 to go people

Thanks for your input on OUR TEAM you should be more concerned about your coach getting sued now admitting in the media of enticing players to sigb with ghe dogs while still contracted to Manly but please now go back to your kennel to discuss with the inbreds

Thanks for nothing. Today I'm happy, tomorrow I'll be happy. Get used to it.

Your post shows just how much class you have Mr Invisible. You and the Bulldogs are a perfect fit.

Yes - we need an abundance of quality halves in the team "just in case"

Liam has not made the grade - because he doesn't make the grade, he is a journey man at best IMO. A bit of sour grapes with that money v family statement.

I've been on the fence with you and your posting but I think your facade cracked a little in that post

What a mean spirited post Mr I - where is your "reasonable man" persona now?

We may well lose a couple of players, but don't discount us keeping Liam if Matty Ballin is forced out. Also Higgins can play.

Manly coach Geoff Toovey confirms Kieran Foran's three-year, $1.95 million deal with Sea Eagles

He's laughing: Kieran Foran (left) has knocked back the really big bucks to stick with partner-in-crime Daly Cherry-Evans (centre) at Manly. Picture: Gregg Porteous Source: The Daily Telegraph

MANLY coach Geoff Toovey has this morning confirmed star five-eighth Kieran Foran has re-signed with the club.

Ahead of tonight's blockbuster between the Sea Eagles and their former coach Des Hasler's Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium, Toovey said it is an incredible show of support for Manly's post-Hasler administration that both Foran and halfback Daly Cherry-Evans have re-signed with the club this year.

The Daily Telegraph understands Foran has rejected a massive offer from the Bulldogs and agreed to a three-year deal worth about $650,000 a season with the Sea Eagles.

Speaking on Sky Sports Radio's The Big Sports Breakfast this morning, Toovey said Foran is capable of taking his game to another level with the Sea Eagles over the next few years.

That is very disappointing. This could be a major stuff up...

So Manly should have let Kieran go just so they could keep Liam? LMAO

Most clubs have pretty crappy back up halves. So thanks for pointing out the bleeding obvious that if we get a injury to one of our key play makers we might struggle. Next you will be saying if the Storm lose either Slater, Cronk or Smith they will struggle.
