Kieran Foran Officially Signs With Warriors 1 Year

[AlwaysGreen]

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

He owes the people of NSW ten times that figure.

Kicked out of a club for being a bit of a pest. [and alleged groping]
Kicked out of a party for being a complete goose. [and liney lines]

The video is there for all to see on the alleged groping.

Liney lines were unproven after an investigation, so whether or not it occurred (and I dont really doubt it, half the NRL is on liney lines) can't really punish him for it without evidence.

You guys are gonna be a joy when Loz and Sterlo name him in the 7 again

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....

I can't say I read her material a great deal, but if you publish false allegations in a newspaper, there are means of redress. It appears to me she was paid to do a job, which was to make the NRL look bad and the AFL look good, and was extremely good at what she did.

Not surprising then that she didn't get much traction with the NRL when she went to them with her complaint. She and her husband probably should have realised that grudges would be borne and gone ahead with the invitation to press police charges.

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.

Absolute oxygen thief.

She'd be Exhibit A on things the modern NRL pisses away money on instead of giving it to clubs or grassroots or national/international development

 

[POPEYE]

Be nice to see Foran win the Warriors a cup . . . instead of being crucified for telling a journo to mind her own business he could be Jack The Ripper and NZ'ders wouldn't care

No doubt all the innuendo was taken into consideration:
- grope
- getting kicked out of the club
- police infringement order for refusing direction
- pissing on himself
- dry-humping dog
- unwelcome kiss on girl
- liney lines

I agree he's no carney, but its a bit more than being a pest.

Who hasn't argued with cops after getting booted though lol

Anyway Pearce is not relevant to Foran. Since Foran wasn't suspended or sacked, he was released by his own request, so the argument is neither here nor there.

reading some of the posts in here and the celebrations around the treatment of people (let alone women), no wonder there is such a stigma associated with our game

We're lucky RL players are targets and not people

How did Bourbs treat the Mannah family?

If she was abused I doubt it was in her capacity as a woman but in her capacity as a rugby league muck racking gossip journalist. You don't get to spread horrid, vicious rumours about people and then hide behind your gender. No deal.

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

who said anything about hiding behind gender? our game has a horrible history when it comes to the treatment of women, I'm sure you don't need me to elaborate.

no chance of removing that stigma as long as people think its ok to abuse and threaten people, regardless of gender.

lucky?

if you chose a life in the public profile, be prepared to either live your life to a certain standard or run the risk of shit coming out

you do realise this isn't contained to RL players?

 

[T-Boon]

our game has a horrible history when it comes to the treatment of women, I'm sure you don't need me to elaborate.

This is just gibberish. Women freaking love footballers and rugby league has a great history of being perfectly respectful to women. Good lord, where do people come up with this stuff.

how many of these so called targets took the opportunity to square the ledger with other more reputable journos?

how many of these so called targets called a press conference to call out the falsehoods?

how many of these so called targets took legal action?

she was doing her job

I detested her as a journo, detested what she represented but she was doing her job

abuse and threats are not ok

you are in denial

 

[T-Boon]

you are in denial

Yes, I deny your allegation that "our game has a horrible history when it comes to treatment of women". I deny this. Its a bizarre statement and you cannot back it up.
