Rumours and Stuff

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

What do you mean leaking it? It was common knowledge that Choc was busted and yet BA signed him and he ended up being one of our worst signings. It was common knowledge at Manly (and he was there) that Foran was a mind f**k yet he signed him on a ridiculous contract that had to be re- hashed after warnings by the NRL.

It was common knowledge that we had to move on from Hayne, yet he signed him. Forget about my nostalgia about wanting him back to piss off Bart. It was a dumb move.

I'm referring to the fact that you keep saying that the assistant coaches warned against some signings. That suggestion is not in the public domain as far as I know (though maybe I missed something).

See above. I don’t think I like you.

I'm sure I'll lose sleep over this one. I think you are forgetting where our club was when he took over. Let's sack another coach. Great insight.

 

[Agent0]

Ok now you're making shit up.

It was SEWARD who created the ridiculous contract for Foran. It's pretty much the whole reason he was sacked. BA wanted him, and rightly so, but Seward was the f**kwit who dreamed up that ludicrous contract

Stop talking sense. Old mate is only here to add nothing except push his agenda of sacking BA. For the 12000th time.

Just to teach you some history.

Brian Smith’s contract was not renewed. Jason Taylor left for Souths. Kearney, Hagan and Stuart quit on their own. The only one that was sacked was Anderson.

Better you listen and learn from me and stop reading the Telegraph.

Kearney & Hagen would have been sacked if they didn't quit...

By from what i have seen the first 5 rounds we need about 28 signings for next season.

I think we need to restructure our signings. I'm lost with why we bother with 25 players of our 30 man squad with roughly the same quality. We have 27 players with varying degrees of NRL experience, with only Niokora and one other (who I've no idea who is) in our 29 who have not played NRL. I'd have 21-22 players of NRL experience and then rest would be kids coming through. The last three premiers have all had a similar philosophy.

It's a risk with injuries, but at the end of the day you can still only play 17 in any given match.

...and my grandma would be a grandpa if she had a cock. Stop clutching dude. The dopes here have that covered.

So what is your grand plan moving forward? I'm intruiged. And I am looking for detail.

Coach? Assistant? Style? Roster who goes who comes in?

You are talking shit now!! But you will probably claim you knew!!

Anyhow if you check my posts back when Foran signed (it's probably around early 2016), I referenced a tweet about Foran. It was the only reference on all the internet and social media that indicated Foran had an issue.

Anyhow not one person including yourself even slightly suggested it was true.

If everyone knew about Foran why did the dogs under Hasler who you claim is better the BA and who coached Foran try to sign Foran a year or 2 earlier if he had issues - look at previous media articles, Foran states the hardest thing he did was say no to Foran!!

Additionally if everyone knew about Foran why did manly try so hard to keep him after we f**ked up his contract? Surely forans club would have known if your claim that "everyone" knew about Foran was true ?

So basically you claim Manly knew foran had issues, yet his previous coach tried to poach him and manly tried to keep him!! So did you know more then Hasler, Toovey and Fulton?

So really are you making up stuff about Foran? If not why was anyone that knew him so keen to sign him (including BA)?

I didn't know bro. I thought he was our best signing ever. He was my favourite non Parra player. But surely Arthur knew.

PS I did however think that DCE would be a better fit.

Come on answer the question?
How do you know Foran had issues but Hasler, Toovey, Fulton and BA (as per history showing they all tried to sign him before his issues were public) never did?

I need you to apologise first for jumping the gun about me and the bullshit statement about us sacking so many coaches.

 

[Bazal]

I note there has been no counter to my statement that Seward was the man who f**ked up the Foran contract.

I'd also be keen to know why mental health issues make a player lesser in your estimation, Avy?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

You have great hindsight!!

Anyhow, DCE and Norman are both natural runners of the ball rather then organisers so they probably wouldn't have been a good match.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

They all f**king knew but thought they could manage it. Mental illness isn't like catching a cold.

Really? So they all knew, so BA didn't do anything wrong then!!

 

[Avenger]

Given Seward was sacked for going rogue on that contract that's exactly what I'm saying.

Your understanding of mental illness is insultingly poor

Not with Foran it isn't. He is a shit human and hangs out with garbage.

 

[Avenger]

He did , he should not have signed him and history proves he f**ked up.

BA has plenty of records now.

Worst 2 signings in our history. and 0-5 which hasn't occurred since Beverly Hills 90210 debuted on TV.

Tell yourself whatever you like, mate.

 

[Bazal]

Foran is a garbage human and is best mates with gambling degenerate brothel owners.

Maybe if you say it three times, it'll come true!
