Foran - Johnson at NZ Warriors

[Brutus]

DCE should sign with Valleys in the re-vamped BRL comp.

 

[POPEYE]

I would much rather see Foran remain at the Eagles Long with DCE. Eagles developed them ect.... an the game needs more one club players

You think the NRL should do it's utmost to encourage and even subsidise one club players in an endeavour to strengthen the game . . . what a novel idea

I think the problem for Manly there is the whole Glenn Stewart business...

From the sounds of things Manly had a culture of the players taking unders to keep them together... And DCE obviously has done something to change that.

There's obviously some issues there that need to be resolved amongst that playing group. At least they have sorted there shit out at boardroom level though.

That's just an observation from the outside looking in...

Sorry you can't have him! Please leave my Manly team alone, we've been pilfered enough thanks.

From everything that's happened end of season, I'd say things have been sorted.

I really wan't to disagree with you but sadly you are right.

From memory Foran was a highly recruited kid from when he left the Bears for 2008 season and debuted the next year. Bit rich for Manly to cry about his development.

Who has cried about his development?

Best I can tell is people are saying it would be great for him to be a 1 club player.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Would be nice to see Foran at the Warriors, but I think he'll re-sign, and that "could" be a blessing in disguise for the Warriors if they use that money to sign a couple of quality forwards up front for 2016 as that's the area they're really struggling to compete with the top teams.

 

[LESStar58]

Best half back pairing in the world. To see them together at club level would be amazing.

Still won't win the Warriors a premiership.

 

[butchmcdick]

Foran is playing for everyone in 2016!

Great combo they are for NZ. So are Cronk and Thurston, So were Lockyer and Thurston.

Doesn't mean they will be for club.

But I will concede the Warriors is the most likely if Foran decides to leave the Eagles.

Cronk to NQ

Make it happen

I'd be happy to give the storm Robert Lui in a straight swap

Or Glebe or Sydney University in the new revamped NRL comp involving every foundation club

But 2 sets of contracts and a boat should be able to do it...

Anyone who'd believe Manly players are taking unders would certainly believe that

 

[Ike E Bear]

From the sounds of things Manly had a culture of the players taking unders to keep them together... And DCE obviously has done something to change that.

If that was true, the older guys wouldn't have been on hugely backloaded deals. More accurately, there was a culture of taking unders in the expectation of a huge payday later. Given the fickleness of fate and the realities of running a successful club, I don't blame a guy like DCE not wanting to sign up. Players get inured. Players get moved on. I don't think Watmough and Co had reasonable expectations.

But 2 sets of contracts and a boat should be able to do it...

I don't recall two sets of books and a boat being responsible for the 1999 and 2012 premierships.

Well Smith stayed for one of those fancy 2/3 separate contract deals.

Think 2012 would have come off without the bum chinned accountant?

 

[Bobby DIGital]

They are the perfectly balanced halves combo.

 

[Perth Red]

Only thing I would like to see, which will develop if they play together, is both being on one side occasionally, they mostly played left and right which worked for the straight running attack of Kiwis, be amazing to see Foran get on his shoulder ready for the offload a bit more.

 

[Juju]

Is it true Foran hates DCE?
