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The Bulldogs have now withdrawn the offer, any deal now off-the-table.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.

Thanks for the post. It sounds like the dogs are confident that they'll get a top class half in 2022 if they're standing firm on 1 year only for Foran.

 

[Kelpie03]

Yeh amongst all his injuries he also has a brain injury

Sorry not sure about brain injury, guaranteed salary for three years

Not sure about this one , we have very inexperienced halfs to let him go.

True but our inexperienced half's weren't given the best possible opportunity to gain experience, with Foran in and out of the team.

 

[2144superman]

Im split on this one,
$300k is crazy if he is able to play the majority of games over the next few seasons BUT I also think 3 seasons is 1 season too long.

 

[silva]

I'm sure barretts all over this. Crucial to get the spine right

[hotdogs]

If this is true to word then good on club for being smart and sticking to their offer.He is a year to year proposition for any team after his run of injuries and minimum game time . I think he owes the club a free season tbh .Rather not have on books for 3 years and have excess cap space for when opportunity comes up

 

[bradtalo]

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.

Totally agree. He's worth 400K for 2 years. He's definitely our best player and we're gonna be even more f..ked without him. Where are all the good halves besides Burton for us to replace him with ? There's literally no-one,

 

[EB18]

Fuck him off.

 

[Kiwipup]

Goodbye Kieran and thanks for the shit memories

Good riddance what a flog

 

[Turvey Chip and Chase]

I’m so split here.
Perfect scenario for me is 375 a year for 2 years...

Someone else will get what we are likely to miss out on I fear.

One things for sure, Wakeham Lewis and Cogger are NOT going to get us anywhere, if we are going to punt Foran we’d better have 2 halves lined up. Enough of mediocre shit.

 

[Kiwipup]

We were told Foran didnt need the money.

His Dad must have cut him off

No no twin turbo said it isnt so

Yeah you're right.....over the past 3 years Kieran has taken us everywhere!
