Who replaces Foran if you were Pay? Why?

[Flanagun]

Jesse Sue to 5/8....you heard it here first, folks.

The Cog-meister will play....obviously.

 

[K E]

He only had his first game of the season on Sunday so he is still a few weeks off at the very least.

True but is he capable of nabbing a bench spot in place of Lichaa once he's match fit?

 

[Mr. Ditkovich]

Really Cogger? We havent seen enough of him to judge yet.

He meant Cogger replacing Foran, with Lichaa to Antarctica

 

[dogsballs]

Yep Cogger in for Foran, thankfully he had some experience at Newcastle. It is so disappointing though, Foran literally had his best game for the dogs and looked to be getting back in his best form and then this. argh! credit to him though he toughed out the rest of the game to get us the win got to admire that.

For sure but he is on Pay's shit list so he will really have to hit form to force his way into the team.

lol...sorry misread it

Cogger comes in and we shut Foran down for the season. No point in playing the $1m man made of glass in our last 10 games, by which time we will almost certainly be out of the hunt for the 8. Only reason i'd bring Foran back is if we are in a close battle for the spoon.

I got no doubt cogger will play well. The only thing that worries me is the defence. Foran raley missed one on one.

Cogger is a very good defender for a 7. Reminds me of Hodkinson. Not the most dynamic runner of the ball, but a good organiser and a very willing defender. Will very often make the tackle off his own kick.

Last time we had a HB who would make the first tackle off his kick was Kimmorley.

 

[Scoooby]

Cogger Lol, because that’s the only correct choice! And I see he will be and good luck too him. All the young guys will have to put in an epic performance to keep Storm at bay.

Maybe not but this year is a developing year. Let’s see what he has.

 

[Grunthos]

Cogger, no pressure son, no pressure at all...

 

[GA45]

I would prefer to leave CHN in his preferred position like last week..

Time to draw straws between:
Cogger or JMK to partner Lewis..

I can see the merit in trying both though till Forans back.. same as how Bellamy gave different halves a go last year..

If you are moving jmk who’s playing hooker...and don’t say lichaa

 

[Bad Billy]

Cogger was bought to play half. Why would you play anybody else ?

 

[Novdoggie]

Fair enough but going in against Melbourne down there with an equally inexperienced halves partner can make or break him. If the experienced Foran was partnering him like Pearce did last year I'd say OK but this could be a confidence breaker if it goes pear shaped and he has a shocker.

He was bought as a half yes but not under these circumstances with such limited NRL experience up against the guns of Melbourne. Anyway I hope he has a blinder and it be the beginning of good things to come.

 

[Realist90]

Ok so we have to live without Foran for a period of time.

Your Dean Pay, who fills Forans' shoes this week?

If Cogger is not ready I say we have to take a gamble. Now, we need to be defensively good to beat the Storm but also need a ball player to fill 5/8 (Lewis to half). I'm throwing CHN in at 5/8 and bring back RFM (hopefully he has woken up since being dropped).

JMK has to kick from dummy half to take pressure off Lewis which he is capable of doing.

We can't think conservatively if we are a chance of beating the Storm.

I thought your title said who replaces Foran if you were gay lol. Sorry my dyslexia is in full motion

 

[Robert61]

Cogger to 7
Lewis 6
JMK 9

Lichaa to Warrington

Foran to Centrelink on disability pension

How about Lichaa to centrelink he is used of doing nothing

 

[KiwiDog7]

Cogger replaced him

Close thread lol

Yeah its a blessing in disguise. Insurance policy for Foran was paid out round 3. Better now than later.

its ok , he copped a fair few floggings in the newcastle first grade side, im sure he will shrug it off..

 

[Howard Moon]

I actually think Cogger and Lewis will be a good pairing so long as the forwards do their job. People have judged Cogger playing behind a shitty Knights pack but he's looking pretty sharp this year
