Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XX

[Jake the snake]

So Manly sacrificed Glen Stewart to keep DCE / Foran but then created the rift with Watmough hence he left and now they will possibly and not sign any of those players. I'm hap hap hap happy .... LETS ALL LAUGH AT MANLY.

The pessimist in me says this will make it very difficult to get Foran away from them.

Personally, I hope we don't get him. I think with Sandow and Norman and Matterson and the DeGois/Peats rotation, we don't need a five-eight quite so much any more. especially an expensive one. AND I still maintain the guy is quite over-rated.

I'm not really comfortable with Hopoate at the back (although I hope I'm proven wrong) so I'm OK with Foran as we can move Norman there.

Alternatively, if we don't get Foran, we need to invest money in a good fullback.

Ok. Two Manly fans get married and head to Central Coast for the honeymoon. They go to check in at a motel, and the receptionist asks 'Do you have any reservations?', to which the newly married lady replies 'Well I won't take it up the arse!'.

Foran just got confirmed on the radio. Apparently he's an Eel next year.

 

[El Diablo]

confirmed by who?

 

[Joely01]

It's on league central Instagram page as well.

Apparently he told team mates last night as well.... Imagine that dressing room last night, got dominated by 30 and then in walk the two halves that say "we are out" :lol:

wouldn't say they are reliable and i don't believe it

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Yeah sorry guys, I should have clarified, they announced it on Triple M. I can't see anything official so maybe its jumping the gun. Sounds like we are all but there though.

You're crazy.

But I agree with you.

 

[Avenger]

Foran and DCE were their best players last night despite their forwards being smashed.

 

[eels_fan]

Agree. Foran's little inside ball for the Stewart try was the only highlight in the game for them

Spot on.

Norman and especially Sandow looked great last night because our forwards dominated, but this is no surprise. Sandow was awesome behind a dominant pack in the two years before we signed him, plus in a handful of performances last year when our pack went forward.

But Foran always goes well. He was good in the first half last night despite his pack getting smashed (though they did have all the ball) and even in the second half he stood up right up until his injury. If Sandow had been playing for Manly last night he would have disappeared in attack and in defence he would have missed ten tackles.

Behind a strong pack Sandow is as good as any playmaker in the game. But when his pack gets beaten he is worse than useless. Meanwhile Kieran Foran remains solid even when his pack gets belted. Even with ruck parity he is very good. That's the kind of conditions you tend to get in big games (forwards cancelling each other out), and that is where Foran has it over Sandow.

Poo would you keep
Sandow and/or Hoppa if we do get Foran?
