Kieran Foran Officially Signs With Warriors 1 Year

[Scorpio30]

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.

But, but...."Foran's threat's to dying woman"

 

[_snafu_]

If Hartigan wants to blow up about these texts and phone calls, then he should publish them. We all know what a gutter snipe Bourbon Bec was when "reporting" on rugby league matters.

What I got out of this article:

1 - Tokenism in the NRL

2 - Who the f**k is Kieran Foran?

 

[big hit!]

Regardless of anyone's thoughts on Wilson, how this dickhead walks on this but Pearce get 8 weeks and a ridiculous fine compared to this dill is another glowing endorsement of Greenberg.

If you are a mate of Greenberg or there is a vested interest, do as you please.

because there was vision of Pearce headlining news bulletins and web pages all over the country.

decisions are all reactionary based on the impact of a story on the NRL's brand. without the actual texts and voice messages being released, the NRL will sweep it under the carpet until that happens.

Eels fans with no axe to grind.

Tends to happen when you bullshit your way out of a 3 year contract.

 

[T-Boon]

Radicals like Catherine Lumby always seem to be appalled as well. Which Football team does she support (I am guessing Swans)? Has she ever said anything positive about a rugby league player? The NRL should dump her and replace her with a feminist with demonstrated history and passion for the game who isn't just interested in promoting her own brand.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

How much is this woman paid by the NRL and what the f**k does she do for it?

I'm guessing one of those answers is "nothing"... and not the right one.

How did he bullshit his way out of it? This should be interesting.

 

[taxidriver]

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.

did you actually read the article?

are you saying it's acceptable behavior to make personal threats to someone's well being, let alone a professional male athlete to a middle aged woman?

Wilson is one of the worst journalists to ever put pen to paper, no doubt about this and I had zero respect for her in that capacity.

her deficiencies in no way condone what has been alleged

 

[Incorrect]

I love the picture they've used of Foran for the article above!!!

Feel good stories about him overcoming his mental health issues, they use something like this;

This time around, he's abusing shit merkin journo's and they go with a photo that makes him look like a cross between a rabid wolfman and pack rapist;

LOL

Do tell.

Yup. It was the same with Pearce. They always chose pictures that made him look worse than he was.

That's the media for you though.

I dont agree with the comparisons with Pearce.

Pearce was caught on camera being a lout and dry-rooting a dog. It got splashed in the papers. He also had form groping the girl in the yellow dress. 8 weeks and a big fine might be a tad harsh (especially compared to Jimmy the jet antics), but he deserved something.

Nothing has been proven against Foran thus far. Did a bit of a Jamie Lyon on Parra but that's about it. Unless the text message is shown there is nothing in this. Hartigan obviously didn't hear what Foran allegedly said to Bourbon bec.

 

[Tommy Smith]

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.

Whilst I don't think highly of Foran, mainly for what he did to the Eels; Lumby is a whole different story.

She sounds like one of these crazy leftist man hating creatures. And the NRL obviously employ her as an 'adviser' to keep the calls of 'patriarchy!' and 'misogyny!' at bay.

This woman called for Pearce to never play in the NRL again, and for what? Having a laugh and getting drunk in the privacy of someone's home!

It's the outrage machine and political correctness gone completely mad. It's infected every institution, the NRL included.

That being said, I can't condone Foran's actions in messaging a dying woman IF that is what happened because as of now we've only got a baseless accusation.

Bec Wilson was a vile human being and the most stellar example of hypocrisy you'll find - and the act of dying doesn't change that - as much as Lumby would like to glorify her 'legacy'.

But still, I just hope Foran wasn't aware that she was on her deathbed. Which is possible because it blindsided most of us I believe.

Grope? He didn't grope her at all that was just sensationalist bullshit that the media pedalled.

He reached out to get her attention but that's it. Though these days that constitutes rape in some peoples eyes.

Lumby's website says the work she does with the NRL is pro bono. Thats why she never bothers saying anything good about NRL or its players. Her only interest is promoting herself and her feminist agenda. The NRL should get serious and actually employ a woman in the roll who likes the game and who can promote the game to women and drop any links to this Lumby individual.

Haha - there was contact on the second go. I speculate it was a downstairs grab from the vid, her reaction and the fact that the dog-rooting vid shows Piss has the propensity to get a little grabby with the ladies on the sauce.

whlie the vid might be inconclusive about the grope, what is conclusive is that he's a knob.

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Who gives a shit, she deserved it.

Boo hoo someone in the NRL actually had the balls to give some back to the nasty old hack

Spot on, she only ever wrote with intentions of hurting players images, the game itself, and the family of players. Digging up dirt on their personal lives, regardless if it was true or not, and just publicly shaming them.

So who gives a F*K if Foran called her and gave it to her, good on the kid. If she wasn't dead, no one would give a shit what he had said to her. Karma....

People have convinced themselves that Pearce has a Carney-like list of heinous offences.
In actual fact they are:
Kicked out of a club for being a bit of a pest.
Kicked out of a party for being a complete goose.

For these earth shattering crimes,
he missed 3 Origin games ($75k ?), 1 NRL game, $20k fine
8 weeks of a season, $125k fine.

A grand total of $220k in lost earnings for what?

You forgot his worst offense, he had a 4 on 1 overlap in an important origin decider and decided to grubber for himself.
