The Warriors environment, attitude, plus copious amounts of delicious Kiwi food does this to almost every player who arrives at Mt Smart! I mean what player has gone there of late and actually played just as good or even better than they did when they were at their previous club?
Ryan Hoffman played consistently better when at the Storm, RTS played 100% better when at the Roosters, Isaac Luke (for the most part) played better while at the Bunnies and even when Foran had all those 'issues' still played better while at Parra than he has done for the Warriors this year when he hasn't been injured! Shit, even Lillyman plays better after being in the QLD Origin camp!! LOL
I think the only player that has improved per say is Blake Ayshford and you could probably put that down to the Tigers being such a shitfight!! hahaha
Foran will be back to his Manly best when he arrives at Belmore........ as long a Hasler is still the head coach that is....... and I wouldn't be surprised if Foran has an exit clause in his contract in the event that Hasler is no longer head coach!!
Which could make for an interesting off season if the word on the street is correct and Hasler is sacked in the coming weeks!!! And I highly doubt Foran would hang around at Belmore if a total w**ker like Todd Payton was to replace Hasler.....
