Eels release Kieran Foran

hindy111 · Jun 21, 2016

Id ask everyone this question - Like watmough if you where given a Foran get out of Jail card- Get your 1.2 mill back for 2017 would you take it?
Honestly I have to say yes. He was always a HUGE gamble at that money. I reckon we would be a better team with a half like Benji for 300k and 900k to bolster out forwards. We could swap an alvaro and Terepo with Tamou and Klemmer.
Benji-Klemmer-Tamou
Foran-Alvaro-Terepo

Like you said Pou Hayne was costing a lot. So squad balance is better. But atleast he played FFS. Foran was known to have injury problems and we took a gamble. One that didn't pay off.

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

And there's more than a few people that wish you'd stop now.

Just like you wish others would stop pointing out the oractical concerns of trying to re-sign Hayne.

Sorry Hindy but no way would I swap Foran for Benji, regardless of which forwards we could potentially get. Tamou has signed elsewhere.

I would think about it if we had a time machine and could get Benji when he was good (like 5 -10+ years ago), but not 2016 Benji, no way in hell.

For our club yes it is. Put Hayne average wage for games played and it would work out very reasonable
Put Forans and its more like 200k a game.

Foran was riddled with injuries last year also

Foran played 19 of 24 games last year including the last 14 in a row.
He missed 2 games in a row twice and 1 other game. No doubt caused by injuries caused in games which can happen to anyone and doesn't make them 'riddled with injuries'.

If you could go back in time you would sign Ash Taylor for less than half of Forans contract and none of the off field shit. Hindsight is a bitch though, I bet Manly wish they did that too rather than sign DCE to that ridiculous 10 year contract.

People with Mental illness are not weak but perhaps do not need the added pressure of leadership and extra responsibility so they can worry more about themselves and not have to focus on others as well .

You're confusing leadership with management.

We won't know whether it did or didn't pay off until the end of the contract.

Foran is not our team manager, someone is confused.

Exactly. He's a leader. Coaches do the managing, and hopefully some leadership too.

He was on contract to brisbane for this year bennett released him to titans i doubt he would have released him to a sydney club.

If i could go back in time i would freeze Sterlo in about 1986 and thaw him out every 5 years for a shot at the title but i can't so who gives a shit about who we coulda/shoulda/woulda f**king signed.

We signed Foran and whether he was worth it or not, whether we paid overs or not doesnt really matter. He is ours now until end of 2017 at least.

What if you could go back in time and make sure Beau doesn't injure Watmough at training and Foran doesn't take too many sleeping pills and Corey doesn't go to the Casino and Ricky doesn't sign Junior and our Board and former CEO's don't get caught cheating... would everyone then be happy?

I don't mind if you still let Beau injure Watmough....

Avenger · Jun 21, 2016

If possible you only get rid of Foran if there are viable alternatives. Right now there don't appear to be any. He stays for another year and we re-assess at the end of 2017.

Please. He has been dribbling for years. Does it with every discussion. Always takes the opposite view. Just for the sake of it and the minority squad that he represents. But anyway.

You might not agree with what he says but there is no doubt that your input on anything he has to say is clouded by your supreme dislike of him. You can't even disagree with this as you have admitted it multiple times and have even suggested on many occasions that he should leave the forum.

Despite this you still have the audacity to caution someone else about their "agenda driven input". Don't be surprised if their response isn't particularly complementary.

#Hypocrisy

Avenger · Jun 21, 2016

His shit is repetitive bullshit that he does just for the sake of it. I don't think he's all there. At least Phantom only hates Suity and Jarryd Hayne. Pou disagrees with everything said just to create argument. He contradicts himself constantly. It's noticeable and he should be pulled up on it everytime he does it.

Gary Gutful · Jun 21, 2016

Yeah you're right. It is all Pou's fault and your behaviour is completely acceptable.
