The Kieran Forum

Admin on fb page ? What does that make him ? King What ?
[/QUOTE)
Im a member there like most Manly groups - why not....but the bloke just throws darts at the board with a blindfold and its hit and miss
Lost his integrity soon as he claimed Turbo was not coming back in 2021....always was and aimed to return R16.....he gets called out and says "Oh I was still right, because he played so bad it doesn't count"
Truth is the bloke had no clue

 

[castle eagle]

while reading this it dawned on me that i had a similar feeling back when we signed ben kennedy, 'the bloke was injury prone'
'he'll never be on the field'
etc.
looking back i think everyone agrees that it was a great signing by the club.
not saying foran will be the same, but i guess we are about to find out

 

[Heckenberg]

If the Shoe actually felt this way (and it is a massive if) how is his behavior any better than AFB?

So far he hasn’t bashed his mrs, called officials something real silly or acted like a degenerate Just yet.

 

[Cioran]

The Silvertails forum is the greatest forum anywhere feathered friend !!!

Worth saying twice 😀

 

[Disco]

Whatever happens Schuster must stay

 

[Sheikheagle]

From what I'm told YEP in a big way

If that’s the case they must have kissed and made up as both he and gift were at Forans wedding in Terrigal a couple of years back.

Understood however that is not the main issue most posters have with AFB (unless I have missed something everyone seemed to make peace with his past actions - the main source of angst was him wanting to not honour a contract)

 

[The Wheel]

Dean Ritchie just said on BSB that he has heard nothing about Schuster wanting a release if Foran is signed

 

[Shoe1]

Foran might have some chance of not being injured if he is a bench interchange 9. Is that what Des is planning? 30 mins of impact a game. Won’t have to tackle all day in that role.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Is that what Des is planning?

What is Des planning? Some of Silvertails greatest minds have been grappling with that question for many years. And no closer to finding the answer.

The ballad of the Manly people .......
Every one in their own way wants this club to be successful
Its a shame we are not all moving in the same way

Yeah but that just means we get a cool patchwork pattern... be boring af if we all agreed...

Yeah I had exactly the same thoughts

 

[frank stokes]

Ye no skin of my back mate either way im happy. If Schuster wants out then we need to tell Foran no chance. Cant lose that kid he's gonna be a gun. Foran playing 9 would be ridiculous even if its only 20 a half

Did i just read this right? I agree that we have more chance of a premiership by fostering our kids than we do from a return to the (distant) past... but KF is an excellent passer or the ball and he reads the game VERY well and makes good choices so I think the 9 thing may work - better than Croker anyways (i had such promise for that guy but he has been very ordinary)

That’s a good point BUT whilst BK was at the end of his days and had experienced a few injuries when he joined us he wasn’t chronically injured like Foran is.

I think it’s different ( but yes similar in the scenario).

 

[frank stokes]

The biggest question I have regarding Foz to 9 is would his shoulder survive all the extra tackling? I know its been reconstructed at least once and he has injured it multille times since... is it a smart choice to put him into the middle of the ruck? Id say probs not but Des must have a master plan i guess...

 

[Simonmyers11]

Just sign Foz as a back up hal

That’s a good point BUT whilst BK was at the end of his days and had experienced a few injuries when he joined us he wasn’t chronically injured like Foran is.

That would actually be the main reason I would sign him. For his leadership on and off the field. Were ever he goes, he does seem to build a good bond with all his team mates. DCE would benift with another leader on on the field in a key play making position. Please just move Crocker on and have Foran at least in the squad as a back up half and have him train with the squad and help guide Shuster. Im sure the club thinks Shuster is an absolute priority moving forward. But with Cust moving to hooker, Walker a centre, Metcalf moved on, bring foran into squad as another half option. Move Crocker along. If DCE or Shuster gets injured, much rather have Foran still there to help guide the side than Crocker or Cust at half

Yes maybe but I doubt he’d want to just be a back up boy

 

[jbb/james]

if schuster is that good, he will make the team
If foran stays fit he will make the team

Maybe in time as the season rolls by we might see
Foz to 7 , schuster to 6 and chez to 14 or 9

Regardless of my views, or your views . If des wanted to push chez and his contract out , next year is the option year

Maybe a move to hooker might be a bridge too far for touche turtle

Just a theory to add to the mix. Not a campaign
Mull it over

 

[Simonmyers11]

Might have no choice if he doesn't get an offer anywhere else?

 

[Ned]

Fainu coming back next year a few weeks b4 the semis.

Dependant on the verdict, then there's the issue of match fitness/not playing for 2 years etc.

Foran can come and give him guidance and tips in a
non playing roll.

Don't we already have coaches, halves coaches and DCE to help with this? What will Foz add?
