Not sure this is 100% accurate he had lots of Hammy and lower back issues before he stepped into Belmore. He also had the shoulder injury that took him out for large chunks while at Eels i think...
Certainly not being the dominant playmaker has helped. the way he runs into the line and gets hammered you can only do it so many times before anyone would get injured.
He missed game one with the Eels due to an injury and played until Round 9 when he did indeed suffer a season ending shoulder injury. Had heaps of personal problems then and got done for alcohol drinking whilst on rehab and he was released before seasons end. said he would more than likely give up footy but couple of months later signed with the Warriors.
Debuted round 5 for warriors and ended up playing 17 games for them.
Worst year for Manly was a 9 game one, his first, then he pretty much had full seasons with them from 2010-15.
Foran will be in huge demand from NRL rivals. But he’s proven again why he’s a ‘massive risk’

Michael Ennis believes luckless Bulldogs star Kieran Foran is a risky proposition for prospective clubs to sign after he sustained another long-term injury against the Titans.
The off-contract 30-year-old suffered a ruptured pectoral in the 18-14 loss to the Gold Coast and Ennis believes it will hurt his chances of securing another deal.
“A bitter blow for such a tough competitor in Kieran Foran who has been the Bulldogs most creative player this season,” Michael Ennis said on Fox League.
“Off-contract and his time at the Bulldogs is coming to an end. He was in the shop window and it is a huge risk now given the amount of football he has played for another club to be able to take him on.
“I think if his price value is minimal then you would certainly take that risk given what he has been able to produce when he has been on the field.
“But in terms of the big money that we see some of the halves on in the competition it would be an enormous risk for a club given the injuries he has sustained over the last few years.”
Foran has had syndesmosis injuries, numerous hamstring injuries, shoulder problems and there was also a lengthy absence for personal off-field issues.
It begs the question can Foran go through another long rehab and return to his best to provide consistent value for a NRL club?
