Kieran Foran: The woman who saved me and my NRL career

Foran: The woman who saved me and my NRL career

www.foxsports.com.au

NRL star Kieran Foran has opened up about how his wife saved his NRL career.
The five-eighth has previously spoken about his out of control lifestyle and gambling problem during a torrid 2016 in which he wrestled with addictions and mental illness.

His private life and career had disintegrated around him until he sought solace back in New Zealand with a career lifeline at the Warriors in 2017.

Foran then met and married mother-of-six Karina Ormsby in 2018 — who he now credits as having been the lifeline to his NRL career.

Yeah, I was guilty of bagging her at the time ... but credit where it is due ... she appears to have been a positive influence in his life ....

Who’s Kieran Foran?

He is the early 21st Century Nik Kosef, aka Kierik Foref.

Possibly the parental guidance he needed...?

Sounded like that but the interviewer actually mumbled 'Tolman' just before Pay said 'yeah he'll play'.

Ah, well I must have misheard it, but they were talking about Foran up to then.

That is a pretty incredible achievement for a small guy who has put his body on the line as much as he has.

I can only think of 1 small guy to top that... and we all know who that is. And he made probably less than 1/4 out of it than Foran has.

I recall someone saying in his first or second year in first grade that he would burn out his body quickly, the way he played. Seems to have been a good predictor.

I reckon Victor Radley is in the same mould. Love the hits, but I’d be surprised if he’s around by the time he’s 30.

Yes very similar and agree he can’t keep it up the way he’s going.

Radley tends to dish it out more than cop it. Fozs' bravery was/is all about taking it to the line and passing/kicking at the last possible moment, leaving himself vulnerable to late shots when he isn't braced for impact. Radley puts his body on the line in defence but is almost always prepared for the impact. Big difference IMO.

I was talking about Tooves, not Radley mate.
