CANTERBURY five-eighth Kieran Foran would be prepared to take a 70 per cent pay cut – worth a monster $2 million — to play another three seasons in the NRL, but it won’t be at the Bulldogs.
The Daily Telegraph has been told interest in Foran, who comes off contract at Belmore after this season, has been modest despite posting some impressive statistics this season.
Foran has already rejected an offer of a one-year deal from Canterbury for next season that was a base salary worth $300,000, with another $100,000 in possible incentives.
The Bulldogs have now withdrawn the offer, any deal now off-the-table.
It is understood Foran – who has just turned 30 - wanted a longer deal than the one-season offer from Canterbury.

Injuries have blighted Kieran Foran’s Canterbury career. Picture: Mark Metcalfe/Getty Images
Foran has played the past three years at Canterbury on an annual salary of $1 million, making him one of the highest-paid players in the game, but could now play on for around $300,000-$350,000, a season.
That is a drop of a whopping $700,000 a season if Foran is able to secure a desired three-year deal.
Through a wretched run with injuries, primarily his shoulder and ankle, Foran has played just 37 of a possible 62 games in almost three seasons at Belmore.

Foran, though, has shown his class this season and is clearly Canterbury’s best player. He is also among the best players in the NRL coming off contract after this season.
In his 11 matches this year, Foran scored two tries and has 10 try assists, two linebreaks and 12 linebreak assists, the most since 2015 when playing for Manly.
Foran has been linked with Newcastle, Wests Tigers and Manly but clubs are yet to lodge any formal offers. A move to Newcastle would reunite Foran with his best mate, Knights halfback Mitchell Pearce.

There has been some interest shown at Manly, where Foran played his best footy under Sea Eagles coach Des Hasler. But the club may not have sufficient room in their salary cap for next season.
Despite his injury history, a fit Foran could present wonderful value if signed for $300,000 to $350,000 a season.
One source close to Foran said: “He is still Canterbury’s best player. He is experienced but hasn’t got a club next season.”
New Bulldogs coach Trent Barrett isn’t commenting on recruitment and retention at his new club.
The money Canterbury had kept aside for Foran will now be channelled toward another player.
Just last month, Foran told the Sydney media he had endured a “couple of injury-ravaged years at Canterbury” but would “love to stay on” at Belmore.

Kieran Foran enjoyed his most successful period with the NRL Sea Eagles.

Privately, Canterbury genuinely hopes Foran can secure another club.
Foran came from the field injured during last Sunday’s match against Wests Tigers but later returned. He has been named five-eighth for Canterbury’s match against New Zealand this Sunday at ANZ Stadium.
They haven’t made him an offer yet but Canterbury is monitoring whether Brisbane sack forward Tevita Pangai Jr. They also have an interest in Broncos captain Pat Carrigan among a list of potential targets.
Brisbane’s Bird has been shopped to several NRL clubs, including the Bulldogs, with the Broncos offering to pay part of his and his $975,000-a-year deal.

I think 300k is a low ball offer and Foran asking for 3 years is also crazy. 400k and 2 years, meet in the middle surely. Now we need to sign two competent halves.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Foran OUT

 

[Bob dog]

Give him three years but have if he is injured big time no deal.
Who gives a shit about Pangai Jr, look at his club.

 

[B-Train]

A three year deal? Why not ask for some Kuwaiti Gold and a small island while he's at it?

If that's true then he's more delusional than I thought. Good riddance. So much for him wanting to repay the club. More like he wants to hold it to ransom...

 

[cookieman909]

Not sure how I feel about this. One hand I think fuck off. But on the other we have no halves. Lol

Totally agree, and id be happy with that tbh. I guess the offer was actually 400k, provides he meets whatever clauses were inserted, which is pretty fair really.

 

[Daustin]

As long as we can get someone to replace him I’m happy for him to go. $400k is probably what he’s worth if you average out the money he’s been collecting the last 3 years. Yes he probably is our best player when he’s on the field but unfortunately we just can’t afford to take gambles on him and sign him to a longer deal. Hoping he gets a deal elsewhere and wish him the best but I’ll be happy to use his $1 million elsewhere

 

[JORDZILLA]

100% want him to go but we need a half for next year lol

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Here is the annoying thing, somehow you just know that he'll land a cut price contract for 3 years somewhere, and then tough little bugger that he is and with our rubbish luck to boot, he'll play 80% of games for 3 years and win a premiership.

Guy just wants to play, and he is class, sign him but have a bit of back up and put some clauses in the contract about retirement due to injury.

 

[flamebouyant]

We should be playing Avo in the halves with Foran to see if he can potentially tak his place next year. Id still rather see him at fb, but we need some answers to our halves conundrum. I mean if we were to sign Burton and retain Foran, where will Avo lay?

Just hard to see who we're going to get (even if it's two players) to replace him. We're basically hoping we get Burton for one (no experience).

 

[zappa]

3 year contract? ****’s delusional

 

[Daustin]

Yep I think it really hinges on burton at the moment. Thinking maybe the club have offered him 1 year as a stop gap until some better options come off contract for 2022

 

[Novdoggie]

If Foran was so confident his body could hold up for three seasons and if he really wanted to stay and repay the faith the Dogs have shown him, why wouldn't he back himself and sign the deal?

I know why!! Because he knows he can't. It is purely a security contract for when he breaks down. That's fair enough but we don't need or want a player who will be a week to week chance of playing. Bye Bye Foran.

 

[Novdoggie]

3 year contract? c***’s delusional

Yeh amongst all his injuries he also has a brain injury
