He had a great game against Wigan last night 3 tries and man of the match performance. He brought Bradford back from 20 to 0 down at halftime to a 22 to 20 victory at fulltime.

i can remember 2-3 last minute field goals to get manly home. and a few more big plays over the yeard as well.

manly's record with him was probably a win % of 80% or more - did you want him to lead them to 100%.

he is judged more than any half in the comp.
Again I am not saying he has a good skill level or anything I just said in close games he tends to go missing. There are 3 that stand out for me the first one was v Parra in 2006, the second was the Bulldogs I think it was 2006 and the best one was probably the Storm in 2007 at Brookie. There isn't a lot apart from that 3 is a pretty small number

There are plenty of examples though of him not getting his side over the line in those style of games.

Round 2 v Warriors 2009, Round 22 v Melbourne 2008, Round 7 v Cowboys 2007, Round 16 v Dragons 2007, Round 1 v Sharks 2008.

There are more but they are the ones I can remember

In regards to Foran, I do rate him but he's 19 years old, how many 19 year old halfbacks have guided a side to a premiership?
I think Manly will struggle because some of their players who looked like world beaters in 08 have come back down to earth.
Guys like Wolfhack, Robertson, Matai, Kite and Perry have been only a shadow of what they were in 08

I agree. Foran has potential. But you won't see his best until he runs out as halfback for the Central Coast Bears in 2013.

As for 2010, as always, most people are hoping the Manly scum come last and their inbred supporters end up crying into their light beers for months on end. Die Manly Scum!

A young half like foran taking on the line with toovey at the back directing the team around the park will do wonders for manly...

But if the NRL cracks down on waterboys like tovey, you lot are in a lot of sh1t..

He didnt need anything but his own talent when scoring in his NRL debut last year. From memory it took less than a few minutes.

Clearly, yet again you have forgotten to take your medication or you would have remembered that the useless Bears were the laughing stock of the rugby league world for nearly 100 years before they where rightly confined to the rubbish bin of history.

Please don't wish upon the fans of the Central Coast a re-hashed team of losers........time to move on and let the fans from the Central Coast get thier own team, which hopefully for thier sake is not the Bears.

The 2nd half on Friday night was the 1st time he's done anything all season over here. In fact the Bulls fans had been dissapointed so far. Kearney has been the better player for the Bulls so far.
