Kieran Foran Officially Signs With Warriors 1 Year

[KeepingTheFaith]

No doubt we'll never find out what Foran actually said, but it would be interesting to know. Would at least give some extra context to the matter.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Foran is a grub and a garbage human being. I'm glad he is no longer at my club.

Foran is a lowlife scumbag

Eels fans with no axe to grind.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Rebecca Wilson was a heartless bitch and had no respect from the Rugby League Community.

Her personal attacks on some players was absolutely deplorable and most of her articles were selfish agenda driven bile.

But karma has a funny way of biting people on the arse.

She hung around long enough to see Fifita score the match winning try and Gallen hold up the trophy.

Then her porch light got switched off.

 

[POPEYE]

Boo f**king hoo . . . if you can't handle abuse don't give it

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Considering the nature of some of the rumors that were doing the rounds about Foran's issues with his ex, if Bourbon Bec was part of that I don't blame Foran for giving her a spray. The fact that her ex won't go into specifics about it says a lot.

Also I actually had no idea she'd croaked until now. merkin of a disease but she won't be missed.

 

[goboggo]

Without seeing the texts it's kinda hard to appoint blame here.

What I do know is that is about the 4th time I've seen comments where people say "Rebecca was tough but this really distressed her", all about different topics!

You reap what you sow.

Oh, and this idea that she was some wonderful journalist.... LOL. That is just her mates supporting her and trying to create some wonderful legacy. Revisionist history at work. Meanwhile true pioneers of women's journalism are left out. Maybe Debbie Spillane - who truly went into a man's world when there were no women around - should die of a horrible disease so that people recognise her efforts.

 

[POPEYE]

When Buzz passes he should be skinned and garbage bags made but he'll probably be bronzed and stood outside The Smellygraph Toilet Paper Co in the same way Ding Dong the Witch is not Dead, she's been made a Saint . . . some reap far better than they sow

 

[Iafeta]

Give yourselves an uppercut

Yeah she wasn't a journalists arsehole but condoning the alleged behaviour isn't on

Error give yourself three uppercuts. Where on earth did I condone it? Nowhere. The fact is you haven't seen or heard the conversation and neither have I. What I said was Rebecca Wilsons trash articles and media pontification were full of similiar vitriol often shrouded in lies and hypocrisy but because she's deceased and a member of the media all that has been forgotten. She was no saint.

 

[Iafeta]

Why is Lumby employed by the NRL? They haven't released what was said, and importantly what the context to the conversation was. What did Bourbon Bec do to him? If this all happened, was she reaming Foran as she was wont to do, on his family crisis for example.

So here you have Lumby criticising publically the body she works for and yet it seems she too doesn't have any evidence of the alleged conversation. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you and being convicted by a media haram jury.

 

[myrrh ken]

Has a complaint been made and texts shown to the Nrl? Hard to work on hearsay but that's assuming nrl is a rational organisation.

Has Foran been cleared of the integrity units match fixing"investigation" yet?

 

[Spot On]

It's obvious Lumby nor Hartigan have ever read this thread or the Bec Wilson thread on LU. Surely Foran's spray can't match the disdain displayed toward her on this site?

Someone email them a link.

 

[mave]

Beccy was a giver, not a taker.

 

[Meth]

Wilson kept the cancer pretty close to her chest. (no pun intended- ok, maybe a little bit).

I doubt Foran knew she had cancer. She probably deserved some abuse considering all the shade she threw as a journalist.

 

[Scorpio30]

Like some have said it's all in context....Did he abuse in a "sexist" manner?...or is the gender irrelevant in the abuse and he was just giving a poor journalist a spray...is just it because she is female that people are upset?

Is the fact she was dying relevant?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Wait. Wilson was a woman?

 

[TheDalek079]

Wait. Wilson was a woman?

You thought someone named Rebecca/Bourbon Becky was a guy?

 

[Canard]

Foran is a shit stain and hangs around garbage humans, and if it's ever revealed that he was involved in match fixing I hope he gets life.

But this text issue is a total beatup raised by a grieving husband who hates our sport.

 

[Canard]

Give yourselves an uppercut

Yeah she wasn't a journalists arsehole but condoning the alleged behaviour isn't on

Can you point to what the alleged behaviour was? Seems hard to get upset about one article with very little information.

Why are these muck rakers a protected species? You write about someone's personal relationship troubles in a national newspaper your going to have a thick skin.

 

[T-Boon]

She didn't deserve the respect of RL players because regardless of gender she was a grubby trashy "journalist" who never gave a damn about players as persons. I doubt Foran would have known about her illness.

 

[Brutus]

Mr Hartigan should put up or shut up. Give us proof.

Rebecca lived her life at the bottom of the trash can of journalism and with that comes some unpleasantries.

You reap what you sow.

Good luck in round 3 Kieran.

BTW, reports that Hartigan could be the next NRL commissioner makes me ill. Might as well put Gallop there.
