I think I've figured out the real underlying reason behind Avengers Foran hate.
He sees it as an either or situation, in his opinion we cannot have both Hayne and Foran, it's one or the other.
Now, as he obviously has blinkers on for Hayne, He's gonna choose Hayne over anyone else. And he sees Foran as a barrier to Hayne's return, so Foran has to go. To justify this, he craps on about how useless Foran is, and that we shouldn't have singed him because it means we can't sign Hayne now (that's the part he doesn't say).
Comparing Hayne and Foran is silly IMO. It's like comparing a drill to a hammer, both are useful and have value, but you can't drill a hole with a hammer, and you can't bang in a nail with a drill (not effectively, anyways).
Would I swap Foran for Hayne? Frankly, no. In my opinion, I feel that Hayne owes it to us that if he were to come back, he should take whatever we can afford in order to keep the rest of the squad intact, and then be the biggest god damned team player the NRL has ever seen.
How and why he did it is irrelevant, he buggered off on us when we needed him. That left a bruise on lots of fans, and he needs make a gesture to make it right.
Now, before you jump on me, I love Hayne too, one of the best to play for the Eels, and the NRL in general, his natural talent is mind blowing. I rate him over 99% of players.
If he wants to prove to us that he truly loves the club, come back on what we can afford until we can upgrade him later.
