Yes. But if you want to get any talented player to your club from another, you have to pay overs.

That bit OA said about Manly's forwards is so true.
He has looked good behind their relative weak pack. If our pack plays to its potential then he will just be that much better.
i hope that was tongue in cheek. given they left homebush with their arses in slings after the gf i'd say the dogs could have done with a player like foran. i think hodkinson is a great kicker in general play but only a so-so ball player. foran can create space off the back of good go forward and lead players into those spaces.Or be overpriced cause we wont need someone of his skill level, just like how the Dogs didn't last year.

i reckon hayne would have hearted to have a player like foran to help create space for him while he was with us. i don't think we've had any genuine ball players that can create opportunities since mateo, and before him, tim smith when his headspace wasn't so messed up.
i am very hopeful the grapevine is on the money with the foran signing. i've thought highly of his playing ability for a long while now.
fair enough. manly seemed depleted by injuries but have still given the comp a fair shake the last two years.Not totally tongue-in-cheek.
3 things Souths and Dogs had in common last year - neither had Foran, both had a better forward pack than Manly and both made the GF.
Where do you rate Foran against all other halves in the comp because only one club can have him at a time?
that was why morts and robson were in such high demand in early 2010. it would also mean shane perry should have had contracts being thrown at him after winning in 2006.So the only good players in the NRL are the 34 that competed in the NRL grand final last year and we should only be after their signature?
If we don't sign quality players the same people bitch and moan that we aren't doing enough to recruit them to the club. Foran is worth what ever he is being offered. Particularly given the cap increases. To wait for the academy players to mature and not sign someone like Foran if he is available based on that is even more ridiculous.[
This is the most sensible comment on this topic, agenda driven waste of a poll :crazy::crazy:
It's common sense. Something that is in short supply.

There's only so much you can improve each year though.
Overpriced? Of course he is. They all are...
