The Kieran Forum

[pjayz]

Nope, I'm here but you're there!

Psssh, then you wouldn't have gotten that "like" you begged for! lol

Ahh you always tease the ones you love the most Moosie-pie ;-)

And I prefer "humbly implied" rather than "begged"...

How long will Foz last. Of course I’m hoping he reunites with Cherry circa 2011.

 

[Captain Moondog]

Probably about 2 weeks but the Foran Forum will live forever.

 

[Blake A]

My guess is he will injure himself in pre season and not be fit for round 1.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

The optimist in me took the last option.

 

[Briza]

I predict 6 games

The best ever and just can’t die AND to think it’ll probably have another 250 pages added in 2021 , 1000 pages isn’t out of the question at some point.

If he plays 15 games for the whole season ill take that as a win..That gives him 9 weeks on the sidelines lol

 

[tookey]

Schuster will accidently run into him during the off season training and he wont play again ala Watmough's knee injury

Yep ... if he plays 13 games I will take that as a good investment ... you can make, or miss the top 8 by one win ... and I believe he still has the ability to make a difference in games ...

 

[robbiea]

Until the 80th minute of Grand Final.

 

[maxta]

I think he will be wrapped in cotton wool and get through much of the season...his OFF field presence will be as important as what he offers on the field.
His winning attitude and determination will be sure to rub off on his team mates.
Any sign of injury Des will nurse him and not play through it....if it is more serious I think he will be integral as an extra set of ears and eyes for Des and will ensure the players as individuals, will be as good as they possibly can, great signing imo.

 

[XV-1]

Will Foran play more or less games than Turbo?

 

[Ned]

Even that depends on him going 13 in a row I think. If he's in for 2 weeks out for 3 then back for 4 etc it causes more disruption to the team. But I'm hoping the first time he's out Schuster grabs the 6 and Foran becomes a utility for the rest of the season..

I actually see Foran as the super sub from the get go ... brought on to ramp up or stiffen up when needed ... but it will be interesting to see how he is used ...

 

[Loobs]

Should be two polls:

1. Does he make the bye week without an injury, and
2. Over/under on games played (think 10 is a good number)

Maybe a third poll with another over/under on the "number of Foran looking the best he has in years/training the house down" pre-season articles. Maybe set the line at 3...

My gut tells me Des brought him here to play at 6, that hooker/utility stuff was just a Des smokescreen.

I am 100% certain that's where Foran wants to play, he's not a hooker.

That's part of the reason I didn't want Foran because we have halves and backup halves already but no recognised hooker, well none that are allowed to play anyway. I reckon that money could've been better put to that position, but what do I know.

I agree. I hope I’m wrong, because I just want us to win... but I really really don’t want to see Schuster held back for a broken down, old man. I don’t see Foran as a success as a hooker... absolutely no chance with his lack of speed and busted body. I also don’t see him as a modern day 14. He is going to be our 6. I will support him for sure. I just hope it all works out.

 

[double hoops]

Fair chance the answer how FOZ goes and how long he is fit a firing will determine how MAN performs in 2021.

Let's be optimistic best year since 2011;-)

 

[HoldenV8]

Hopefully all season would be the honest answer. His on-field experience and leadership can do nothing but help the younger players in the team.

So this is what we're reduced to? Almost taking bets on how long one of our players will last before injury sets in?
