We need to buy someone else that has enormous potential with the ball in his hands
Sweet now that you've endorsed it I'm happy for the club to resign him.Nasheed here,
8 out of the last 11 games we have played with Foran have resulted in wins.
When he doesn't play with us, we lose. When he does, we win.
This is Joey like. The last person that's presence resulted in an 80+ win rate and almost a certain 100% lost rate (and a belting) was Andrew Johns. His presence made Newcastle premiership contenders and when he was out for a long period. Spooners.
The only players that have come close are Smith for the Storm and Trbojevic for Manly, but they aren't as striking as this lift rate by Kieran Foran. His presence simply equals wins.
Therefore,
I am officially announcing my endorsement of re-signing Kieran Foran on a further (one year) deal, in the vicinity of 500-600k provided he isn't too injury affected.
Anything less And the other NrL gamblers will swoop in, there's not a huge amount of world class talent in the game atm. Teams will circle. Nasheed.
Don't think yesterdays win had much to do with Foran, the whole team was on song after the first 10 mins, if we continue to play like that and Pay makes the obvious changes to the team, we could go all right this year.Nasheed here,

I agree with what you are saying but Milford is a terrible idea. He seems pretty toxic and lazy to me and Hoppa can do the job at the moment.Wouldn't have signed Crichton.
I would ensure we get Bateman. Then make a play at ryan Hall and Jake Friend from the roosters. Then I'd secure Holland for 3 more years on a deal that is satisfactory for him. Then resign Foran and look for a big angry forward, probably from the broncos. We must hang off broncos discards due to their monopoly. I'd also hope for Milford as FB.
Sign him 300k one year he will help wakeham big timeHe should retire from rep footy.
If we had a better half back to pair with him, his job would be so much easier. Would have to do less and probably won't find himself injured as much.
Even Averillo .. anyone but Lewis or Cogger.Sign him 300k one year he will help wakeham big time

Completely agree with you on Averillo and Wakeham. See your point re Lewis, but at the moment, loaning players to other NRL clubs isn't really a thing at the moment?Definitely resign Foran at the right price... unless another marquee half comes up available.
It is TOO much to ask for two Rookie halves to develop next to each other, whether it be Cogger, Lewis, Wakeham or Averillo. Teams simply do not succeed when two rookie halves play with each other... The last instance was actually in 2011 when Manly won with Foran (2nd full season, approx 50 games) and DCE (rookie season), however, they had a well established forward pack and a top tier fullback (Brett Stewart) and hooker (Matt Ballin). We don't have any of these conditions.
I think the most promising half should accompany Kieran Foran (or the marquee half if we get them, will probably have to be an cheaper older fellow for salary cap reasons) and develop their game. Don't overburden them with responsibility and pressure. I think this half is Brandon Wakeham.
Averillo can play centre, develop the running game and transition into a running five eighth (like Jack Wighton, Brad Fittler, Laurie Daley).
Lachlan Lewis has excellent fundamentals. For Halfbacks, you have to work your way up from the basics (according to Cooper Cronk). He has excellent defense, and a decent kicking game. We should loan him to a successfull top 8 team where he can take his game to the next level.
+ No other club would even consider playing him in the halves.Completely agree with you on Averillo and Wakeham. See your point re Lewis, but at the moment, loaning players to other NRL clubs isn't really a thing at the moment?

Paying overs is the only way for a club in our position to attract players that aren't opportunists or rejects and can't get a better team. When it comes to top players we have no chance if you want to sign them for what they're worth. That's how the market works. There are three contracted top players (marquee) in the spine positions we could pay overs for and be a top eight team which is our goal for next year.I believe that paying overs for players too often does more harm than good. One clear example is Hunt, all that money was he worth it, I'd say definitely no.
I believe that St George's problems are caused by the fact that the remainder of the team are pissed off by the very fact that he is been paid all that money for very little contribution.
I would bet my house that St George are in the poo because of player attitude.
