Foran just plays so direct and that’s what suits DCE best as well , with those 2 together the team plays with less sideways movement and credit to Foran for that

I'll unveil the elephant in the room then after today's performance, seeing nobody else has done it...900k Jake who? Shock/horror.,,we lost nothing in the middle today but saved 2 or3 6 again's.

i was thinking exactly the opposite at halftime.

Yep ... I was there watching and said the same thing to my m8

Croker has been very good for us most all year. Egg on a few peoples faces round here with that one.

Including mine. He is a good part of the machine.

 

[Bearfax]

Got to give credit where credit is due. Foran played very well against the Titans, best I've seen him play since his return. He looks fit, works off DCE and Turbo well and keeps a cool head while setting his backs up. Though I think Schuster is the future, Foran for now is doing what we've missed for half a decade...getting the backs moving. As a result Manly's play is flowing and the tries are coming at an amazing rate.

Yep mine too. Very key part of the machine now. We have great halves and weapons in the back 3 and in our edge runners. Our centres are defensive minded and ball distributors. Very good balance in the side right now.

Agree with this completely and this team balance is the reason why Walker remains on the bench. He is going great as an impact player and obviously provides cover for most backline positions as well. There is no reason we cant win the comp this year, IF we retain the balance we have right now, manage to get our best team on the field, and also be blessed by the injury gods for a change. Big ifs I know (and am a few drinks in - so another big call), but on our day we have shown that we are the best attacking side in the NRL.

The passing game of Foz on Sunday was sublime. He has the ability to pass at several speeds while still running to the defence.

The passes he does where they seem to float, and the centre or Turbo just run onto the ball at full speed are almost works of art.

If he continues this form, with Schuster in the 2nd row and Walker off the bench gives us attacking options everywhere.

With the article Booze wrote yesterday, the proof is in the pudding on how well the support staff are doing.

To get as many games out of Foz as they have has exceeded most people’s expectations.

Foz is playing well and the strapping on his body has decreased significantly from when he started the season.

Credit to the fitness team, they have had a role to play in this.

 

[Kevinward777]

People here will refuse to admit it and try find fault in any little part of his game but Frog has actually been quite good at 9. His defensive efforts in the middle are outstanding. And his starting to pick his moments better.

He sure has, and I am very happy to admit the fact that I got Frog's ability to play nine wrong.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I tipped Foz to last 3 months. So glad I was wrong. I tipped Croker to be workmanlike and he has done that. But having said that he has well exceeded my expectations and deserves congratulations. He is definitely a better 9 than a 6.

How long will Foran last? One day after Grand Final day............2022.

 

[ManlyArmy]

The key to Tom having so much room on the left side is Foz and Schuster playing 6. They both are happy to run deep into the line putting their bodies on the line to create space out wide.

Or the back to back in ‘23.

 

[Captain Moondog]

I'd say he's got a solid 1,000 years still in him.

Oh no, the Captain Hindsights and Major I Told You So's are going to have a field day with this post...

There is only 1 true captain hindsight haha

 

[AshfieldBazza]

One of my all time favourite players, was gutted when he left for Parra. So glad he’s done well for us and that the broken hand didn’t keep him out long and he’s back and had mid season break so ready for 2nd half of season
