I am willing to donate money, to get rid of the curse that Foran has.

What i want to know is do we get the 350 to spend now or after he has missed the 1st 13 games? Knowing the NRL we will have to wait for him to miss the 1st 13 before we can do anything.
There is definitely something seriously wrong when you only get 350 for a million dollar player when he is injured in a rep game.

Here's the statement from the 'Dogs the bit I have made bold is interesting

"Kieran Foran yesterday underwent re-constructive surgery on his injured shoulder.

The surgery revealed that there was new and additional damage to the shoulder that will require Kieran to undergo further surgery later this month.

At this stage the rehabilitation period for recovery has been estimated as being between 9 and 12 months."

That'll be the important part for medically retiring him. Needs to be a very frank conversation had with Foz. ASAP.

Lucky he got picked for N.Z. and got injured then. Much worse for the club if he did it round 1 2020

so its ends how it began. I cant think of a worse signing anywhere.....ever
Trex still worse imo. Paid him almost as much, and sure he wasnt injured as often, but it wouldnt have mattered if he had been. But Foz is a solid second worst signing ever imo. Both astute signings by supercoach Des, and both ex Manly players. I swear Des sabotaged us on purpose.

This is fucked.

As others have said he can spin it however he wants.

If he insists he is not done and won’t retire that’s great. Neutrally release from the contract.

People say why would he walk from 1mil ?

We have paid him 2mil for 20 odd
Games and he won’t put on the jersey this year. Not to mention he did this for nz not us...

If he has any decency he will do this because he knows we have been fucked for the cap
For the past few seasons and he’s done fucking nothing to earn this years pay and kissed on the doc the last 2.

Then again no Fucking club will pay him for the next few.
As someone said he will be 30+
With an average of
10 games a season or
Some Rubbish the past few years.

Do the right thing by us for fick sake Foran.

It really is a travesty, as he is one of the best 5/8's ever.
However his contract will have expired before his return.
He wont be resigned, so he really should call it quits and allow the club to move forward.

Yeh at least we have the offseason to work out a contingency for him being out for the season. It was a nothing tackle that did it to him too, so it could have happened in training or in any match. Hes also still the only player ive ever seen in FG to take half a season off with a toe injury. Has to be the most delicate player in FG now.

Even worse than Tony Williams!
$$ wise yes. But at least Foran played well when on the field. Trex got paid only a bit less, but cbf when he was on the field. So like i say above, for me Foz is the second worst to Trex

If he retires now he misses out on $1.2m next year. I reckon I’d stay put too for that much coin.

I dunno. At least we will have the offseason to work out the halves knowing hes out, instead of planning for him to be playing all offseason and then he plays half the season, like 2019 and 2018. Imo its more disruptive if he plays half a season, than if hes out for the whole season.

Surely they can work out an agreement or something to get him out. Maybe pay him a million for his first year as a halves coach.
