O/T: Foran, Rothfield and Hayson

[Gronk]

Paul Kent said last night that we have to wear some of the blame for Foz signing elsewhere.

“Bare in mind Parramatta was caught cheating the salary cap, and part of that was cheating payments made to Kieran Foran which are no longer legal,” Kent told the show.

“So Kieran’s contract going forward, part of those clauses in the third parties that he thought were independent third parties, he can no longer receive.”

Yet we all know that in 2015 we were forced to include his TPAs in the cap.

The NRL will now include all of Foran's $1.2m, or $4.8m over four years in Parramatta's player payments.

I think he conveniently forgot the bit where Foran quit the club

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I reckon Foran was pushed.

I reckon Foran was pushed.

Good.... we should have kicked him as well....

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I reckon Foran was pushed.

Of course he was, BA wanted him to meet his club requirements / continue with rehab ( probably to push him out, but also its what is expected ). Foran just wanted time out to f**k around, have time out. The rest is history....

If I'm paying you 1.2 Million dollars, you do whatever the hell I say or GTFO. Pretty simple.

I agree, but some other clubs may just let their "superstar" do what they want!!

Great work by BA, sets the culture he wants for this side!! No one is bigger then the side!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah it's fair enough. I just don't think he 'walked out' on the club like some merkins are saying. From the moment all the TPAs were added to our cap we would have been looking to trim the fat.

 

[Twizzle]

yeh, that was it

nothing to do with his mental condition or his gambling mates

If we were looking to trim the fat, BA could have backed Foran to come good in 2017 and let Norman walk instead of paying him ~800K or whatever it is taking to keep him at the club...

Fact is Norman outshone Foran in just about every game they played together this season and Foran has things other than football on his mind that he'd seemingly like to pursue - ie hang out with shady characters and get on the piss and punt every chance he gets... this lead to him not meeting his football/club obligations and he decided it was all too hard when the club was coming down on him for it.... probably backing himself to attract another million dollar offer when Heyson sucks him dry and the party leaves town

I always thought signing Foran would mean we lost Corey Norman.

 

[Twizzle]

careful Pou, you made an allegation that needs a source as there are implications

 

[Gary Gutful]

I think he's a shiner of knobs but I don't have a source.

 

[Chipmunk]

Foran did indicate in his interview with Buzz that he has been mates with Hayson for 10 years. He also has probably known his brother since the day he was born, but I don't have a source for that.

I just got a sausage roll from the shops but I don't have sauce for that either...

sad about that.

This comprehensively proves things are pointless without appropriate sauce

absolutely.

Sometimes chutneys are more appropriate.

Sometimes chutneys are more appropriate.

Relish is certainly more appropriate most of the time.
