Come on Pou. It's time to admit something for once in your life. Foran is a flop, isn't he? Makes Hayne seem like a bargain all those years ago.

If he never plays for us again he will have been a flop. If he plays 20+ games next year as well as he did this year then he's worth every penny of what he would've earnt under the cap prior to our TPAs being added.

I cannot believe how hung up some people get over trivial things.

The club gave a player a $5k fine (slap on the wrist) for missing a rehab session and take the on-field captaincy off a bloke who won't be on the field for the rest of the year and this place goes into meltdown mode.

Breach notices and fines are common place. Hayne got one for running late for training once and I am not sure if his shopping trip while injured got him fined or not. No one is immune it seems.

I understand some people on here don't want Foran as our captain (or even at the club) but geez, if he leaves the toilet seat up will he be hung for that too?

Cause it's only one rehab session. :sarcasm:

This season is just awesome!

Can we invoke the mercy rule yet?

WTF?!? We've won nine games. We'll probably win another half dozen. There will be teams playing in the finals who won't have won that many. This year is a massive success for our new era. The future is bright.

Reminded me of this classic image, just couldn't resist giving it a *bump*

As for Foran's fine... meh. And the on field captaincy while he's out for the season... meh.

Get behind the guy ffs, he's an Eel for 2017. (That's Foran I'm talking about - not Hayne.)

I need to be stuck in the desert with you. :lol:

It is both good and bad. The good is that our defence and attitude has been outstanding and is great for the coming seasons.

The bad is that we will have won more games than at least half of the teams in the 8 and we won't be in it!

Yes you are. This is a supporters forum. Deep down you know that I know plenty. Most of it I cannot write for one reason or another but my opinion of him as a player and leader of our club will always be displayed. He was a very good player at Manly. We paid too much and were duped with his multiple issues and if it was up to me I would throw him out on his ear but only if it didn't cost us anything.

I suspect we will have to put up with his shit for another season and then he himself will see the light back to Manly or the Roosters or anywhere except here. The pressure will intensify and I cannot see him lasting here for 3 more years. In all seriousness can you?

I'll say it again seeing as you are insisting, until you prove that are this all knowing club insider that you claim be, you're full of shit. Opinions are fine, that's what the forum is for, but you claim to have inside information, but you may as well be Danny Weidler or Josh Massoud at this point.

I honestly believe that Foran will be the leader that we bought him to be, as long as he gets his shit together, which I hope he will. Of course, if he has another season like this one, I hope he does exercise his option to move on. You can chalk most of this seasons problems to "just bad stuff that happened", but two years in a row would be a pattern. I honestly hope he turns it around and becomes a club fixture and hero until he retires to be honest. I've hoped that for pretty much every player that has pulled on an Eels jersey. Except Luke Kelly, F**k that guy.

Again, I. LEARN. NOTHING!

Yeah true, it sucks balls. But at least it isn't because the team is hopeless, so it bodes well for next season. That is the take away here.

Yeah but the good thing is that your description of bad still had a lot of good in it.

Will we have a team next year or 1 that can challenge the top teams. We have basically lost half our team in the space of 6 months with no replacements currently been lined up or at least announced.
