Yeah who on here broadcasted his mental health problems, alleged match fixing links etc when he was signed ?
Who on here’s job is it to know those things??? You would of thought the coach who is signing him and had worked with him before would know these things. Toovey has said afterwards it was known at Manly for a while.

Well Toovey knew he had issues, why wouldn’t BA??? It was hardly the secret people on here continue to claim.

Really provide one media source or post on here that suggests Foran had issues pre 2016?

I suspect you are just making up shit to support your view on BA.

Anyhow if Toovey knew he had issues why did he try to re-sign him:

https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/amp...s/news-story/62f27f6ed21435b406842d828346029a

Doesn’t sound like Toovey had any concerns with Foran.

Huggie crew to the rescue!!

It was BA’s job to know, he worked with the bloke FFS!!


We could win the next 5 spoons with BA and you blokes would still make excuses.

Please rethink this post in light of a top 4 finish in 2017.
Our pack has been poor for years and one good year since 2009 does not a good pack make. We still copped hidings in 2017 and other factors led to our result, including the form of Semi and facing Storm and Cowboys without their best players.

Toovey said it on NRL 360 or whatever the equivalent FOX show was at the time

Rookie halves with fragile Bev and rookie hookers make us spoon certainties.

Yeah, a spine of a fullback who constantly gets rag dolled into touch or the in-goal in French, a five-eighth who is still eligible for the 20's in Salmon, some 12 yo kid called Brown as your general and Mahoney, a guy we're yet to even offer an actual Top 30 contract to, with the ball in his hands more than any other player on the field as our hooker.

As Pou Bear would say and Hineyrulz would mock. It's very exciting.

What was known ? That he had marriage problems? Something that happens to 30% of marriages so therefore 30% of married NRL players ? Then add to that NRL players that break up with GFs and partners ? NRL players who lose parents or have love ones with cancer ? Everyone comes with baggage and 99% manage to hold down a job. So what was "known" ?

So he said he issues at the time but still wanted to re-sign him? Doesn’t sound like they were big issues or he wouldn’t have tried to re-sign him.

So what were these issues that Toovey said?

Plus he has assembled the poorest and lightest (until this year) forward pack in the comp. Combined with his multiple poor or bad signings that still plague us today.
Actually until this year the pack was doing fine. It’s the slowdown by the refs that benefitted the bigger packs and took away our competitive advantage.

It amusses me how some are in absolute denial about 2017 and come up with all the excuses about what a shit side the team that came 4th was. :rolling_eyes:
