Eels release Kieran Foran

[forward pass]

The very fact that the worth of Foran is being debating in here, is more an indication of the standard of posters in this forum than anything else.

He is class, a winner, a leader and a player that every club would love to have. We went from Sandow to Foran ! Seriously.

According to Gaz, you don't know what Noise and I know.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I know what Noise knows, but I don't know what Avenger knows.

I still reckon Foran is copping shit that, if it needs to be shat at all, should be shat at the blokes who signed him, not at the the current shittee.

 

[lingard]

Yes it was. This is why he polled top 10 in Dally M voting (an award based purely on attacking ability) despite not being worthy of an NRL contract at any club after leaving us.



His attack was erratic because it relied on quick play-the-balls to be effective, and quick play-the-balls have been thin on the ground for us (and still are). As for his decision making, plenty of NRL halves are in their teams for their instinctive attacking ability (including both halves at the Bulldogs). You don't need your entire spine to be full of plodding game managers. There is always room for off-the-cuff players as long as they can tackle.

Three false statements and two entirely irrelevant ones - but there's no point going there with you.

 

[Noise]

Gents, leave me out of this. I haven't said anything about Foran for a while because people get upset. A couple of PM's but that's it.

Not saying he won't have a great year next year (or the year after), but so far he has not justified the fanfare either on or off the field. A leader? A role model? A captain? A million dollar player? Whether he deserves all the shit or not - he owes this club plenty and I hope he can repay us.

All true, all relevant. You're right with the last bit though.

 

[Gary Gutful]

This.

This X 100. I couldn't give a f**k what he has done with Manly or NZ. He owes us big time.

 

[hindy111]

Foran = Bad signing.1.2 mill for 5 odd games.Crikeys.

 

[Avenger]

And before everyone gets their g string in a knot, I accept he didn't know he was to succumb to a season ending injury but his leadership off the field has been shit. Smiling in the stands during our games doesn't cut it.

He got injured FFS. Your hero Hayne missed 21 games in two years while he was our only good player.

Read all the posts before jumping. Like the one above your last dribble.

Not that I disagree with your assessment on Foz - but why does people criticising his signing or value speak to "the standard of posters in this forum"?

People are entitled to their own opinions.

I, for one, like him, and respect him - but we've gotten no bang for our buck out of him this year.

What else should he be doing?

 

[T.S Quint]

Frowning, it seems.

Do you want me to tell you what he shouldn't be doing? I've f**king said it 10 times.
