Foran won't help with defence, unless he's back to 100% health and stays that way for the whole season. He was a sieve in his last year at Manly.

Yeah there are doubts, that's the problem. Nobody knows his mental ability, legal state or fitness (wtf?!) but Foran himself. As if he doesn't have time to turn his fitness around anyway. The ONLY issue is the legal issues - which admittedly is massive, yet i'm sure the Warriors didn't go into with less knowledge than LU posters.

Fitness was referring to his recurring hamstring issues. He has a rep for injury prone.

I'm sure the Warriors did their homework, but it would be a pretty f**kn boring footy forum if everyone responded to every signing as "well im sure the club knows best :) "

And ?

Our defense is still the worst in the top 4 but it is improving

How will the warriors go from conceding 600 points to "fearsome " in the space of a year by adding a half

The point is exactly what I put in the initial post. Nothing lasts forever. Canberra changed massively with the recruitment of an excellent five eighth and hooker, amongst other things. There are many things that need fixing at the Warriors, not one acquisition will change them but hopefully an accumulation of changes will. They certainly couldn't sit back and do nothing.

Fair point.

can any auckland rugby league buffs answer this for me...

If he makes it to the field would he be the first ever Ellerslie Eagle to play for the Warriors??

As I think his brother Liam didn't actually play first grade while he was at the club.

For a pretty big Auckland club I can't think of any Warriors they have had...

Logan Swann and Glenn Fisiiahi were Eagles, from memory

Have the inventions of the telephone, e-mail and electronic transactions over the internet hit the land of the long white cloud yet?

Also, you liked my post one minute. Now you're criticising it? Maybe things do move slowly over there.

To be fair, you'd really have to go looking intentionally for the Sydney media when you're in NZ.

Good move, he should settle down somewhere that is beneficial to his current lifestyle, like South Auckland.

Foran getting his career back on track and playing for the warriors in the 1 sentence, now i've seen everything.

The Warriors don't have a great track record with blokes with issues. Not sure if Foran will be good for us. Not sure if we'll be good for Foran.

Are you sure it wasn't a monkey on the path to eventually typing the works of Shakespeare?

Possibly. Didn't help that we were all throwing him peanuts to see if he could do a lil dance.

I don't think you need to defend the Warriors here. They're obviously taking a punt and hopefully it works out for them.

Kieran's not the only one who likes a punt.

If he gets a lifestyle section on the outskirts somewhere it would do him a world of good. Can say that from experience moving to a decent sized place with hills, animals, awesome sunsets etc in pukekohe (south of South auckland) from a shoesized apartment in the city in Australia.

In the city in winter is a grey, wet, cold miserable place is makes uplifting your mood very difficult. It's basically Brisbane with a tower, has a world famous sports stadium but besides that is a total shithole

Good for you moving to Pukekohe. Good to hear.... I imagine Foran will move somewhere closer to Mt Smart. The last thing he needs is Auckland traffic.

Yeah that is the other thing that isn't good for your mental health
