Ch 9 News (inc DannyW) Foran being shopped around

[KLil]

I'd honesty take a straight swap with Koroisau or AFB joining us and being done with it...I'm just totally sick for the Foran saga.

I like that idea.

 

[086]

Are we at the point that we'd accept a medium 1/4 pounder as a direct swap?

I'd take AFB for sure. But Des won't let him go as he rates him more than Taupau. I'd much rather Fainu than Koroisau. Api is way better than what we have but has missed a tonne of games the last two seasons. Fainu has the best running game out of any hooker in the comp aside from Cook.

Yh i'd defenitely rather him but I highly doubt Manly are going to release him and doubt he has the desire to leave. Koroisau on the other hand just seems far more likely.

Straight swap for Kade Cust

The bloke is young and a talented

Yh Cust is decent

 

[Teddybear]

I wouldn't put it past our incompetent board. Des might finally pick him up for a bargain.

If they let foran go next year, I can assure you the 2020 wooden spoon.
We are nothing without him.

We aren’t doing well with him either

All wins from memory were off the back of a fired up foran

 

[Noeasyday]

I'm not entirely against releasing Foran, but after all the time and patience we've put into getting him healthy(ish) I'd hate to see him have a good injury free season at another club.
It's a risk either way, but I'd say if he's having a positive influence on Wakeham, Cogger and Lewis then we bite the bullet and persist with him.
We need his experience in the side and we look like a better team when he's there and fit.

Not really we beat the Cowboys and Knights with him out injured.

Unless we can replace him with someone with the same skill set or greater then I would not be offloading one of our stars of the season along with hoppa.

If Foran was playing the majority of games I’d agree but he’s missed lots of games again this year. If we can find a deal that suits us we should take it.

 

[B-Train]

If anyone wants to pay over half of Foran's contract for his 10 games a season then that would be a blessing and the club should jump at the opportunity.

Theres no point having $1.2 million sitting on the sidelines for most of another season.

Hasn't the club stated that we wont pay players to play at other clubs? Personally I agree with this stance. Players hold all the power. They start playing poorly for whatever reason, get moved on to another club who only has to pick up half the salary, and then the club that let's him go has to operate under the cap until his contract expires, while the other club is effectively fielding a team over the cap.
I know the fantastic players are what makes this sport, but without the clubs they would have no one to play for. I just think clubs that have underperforming players get screwed, and this is unfair on them.
Personally, I dont want our club to be paying anyone to play for a rival. No matter who it is.

Another broken promise by our 'broke' board

 

[TABOO]

He's going back to Manly with Tyrone Roberts joining us next season, mark my words.

HAHAHAHA GTFO!

What makes you pin point Roberts not that I have a problem with that. Roberts is the 720th player in premiership history to play 150 games, a milestone achieved by just 7.5% of the 9,535 players to run out in first grade since 1908. He would be an asset moving forward especially for our young haves. He could also fill in as hooker or fullback if need be.

Yuck, I hope you are joking! Otherwise you are cooked.

You call it brown paper bags while others call it smart and capable business people.

One and the same.
The brown bags are good business when its keeping a gun squad together after winning a grand final.

You speak as though it has already happened.......
Yet it has only been mentioned by a useless reporter.

Pretty sure we paid for part of woods salary last year. May be mbyes as well

 

[bcmf]

Swap him. If des loves him so much give us api, and a few other parts we need.

 

[Flanagun]

Would love for it to be true but Maloney is a competitor and he pays special attention to the forward pack of a club before signing. He said he doesn't sign for clubs with a weak forward pack.

If it's about extra money he's better off going to england

This is his perfect chance to play with Rugby League's true man of steel Adam Elliott. I'd think he would jump at it.
