News Foran wants future sorted soon

[liljohny]

Your grandmother couldn't possibly do a worse job.

Shoo fly

 

[The Dominator]

Im not surprised he wants it sorted asap. He's strung a decent number of games together for a change and another major injury would send potential suitors scattering. He wants it done NOW!

 

[Caveman]

I'm all for him staying with us. I think he's a good half when he's on and switched on.

Problem at the moment is hes not always switched on.

I think a lot of that has to do with our teams lackluster performances.

Get us going forward, with a decent pack, a decent game plane, a bit of intensity, a decent spine and a decent half to partner him and I'll think he'll light the world on fire - should he stay fit.

I don't think 500k is to much for him.

I do think his last contract was way to high, and it seems he knows that the dogs didn't get what they payed for 8n that last contract.

I hope he re signs.

 

[Blueandwhiteblood1968]

The question remains what are our options
Keep glass-man Foran or...
Get old-men Green and or Maloney
We definitely need experienced leaders !!!

Out of the 3, Maloney by a mile, at least he's not injury prone and can win you a game!!!

Gould said if he was at the Bulldogs he would not be offering Foran more than $300,000, and was unapologetic in his assessment of the No.6's value.

It's not personal. It's just business and thats the way the club need to think.

What impact does him missing half the games being the best paid player, have on the roster? Then he is missing in the clutch moments. Time to genuinely have a roster that is primed for the future.

Foran is an unreliable expensive playmaker who isnt getting the job done thats required of him.

Sign him for next year. He misses half the games again and the other already average halves are in/out of the team for another year getting us no where.

It's way too much mate, especially for a bloke that hardly plays.

Agree to disagree

On a 5 year plan?

 

[Brendan7]

Agree to disagree

300-350k is fine. Half a mil is way too much. Use the 150k on a centre

 

[Hulk76]

Pay him his $600k per year. But have a clause that he needs to play 80% of games or it drops to $300k. Problem solved ! Lol

 

[Phalangist]

Gould said 300k, cant give him anymore than 400. Remember when Benji refused the contract at St George and ended up playing for the broncos for 150k?

did broncos play him 150 towards the cap and then 500 in third party agreements?
hmm

 

[Phalangist]

It could be telling either way though, right?
If Baz and Foz haven’t spoken it may be because Baz believes he’ll be here next year and there’s plenty of time to talk later. In Herb’s case it may have been that Baz said he’s not in the plans and wishes him well so it may have been a short conversation. Both scenarios sound plausible to me...

That’s a big gamble from baz if that’s the case, to not speak to our best player because he “thinks” he will be here is a massive gamble from the incoming coach.

By any chance are you related to him.

I don’t think it would be that loose so perhaps I should’ve said ‘knows’ rather than ‘believes’. I’m simply saying there’s other possible explanations to Baz allegedly ‘not’ having spoken to Foz and ‘had’ spoken to Herb.

 

[TwinTurbo]

Just to be clear INCENTIVE BASED CONTRACTS ARE USELESS AS THE NRL VALUES THEM IN THE CAP AT FULL VALUE. So if we have,say a $200K base contract plus $200K if a certain number of games are played then the NRL values the contract at $400K. It doesn't matter what we actually pay. That's why no one is on incentive based contracts any more.

Go Dogs

 

[Raysie]

He'd be looking for a 2 year deal at least and we're not stupid enough to agree to that.

Can't do another 2 years of throwing money down the drain for this guy. He is a a wind blow away of reinjuring himself right now.

 

[Kelpie03]

Those who want Foran want him for his experience, with Baz as coach I believe that he will make Averillo a top 5/8 well before the end of the year.

That's more than enough for us not to make the eight next year tho. We need to be firing from round one. Also there will be a lot of pressure on Barrett next year (more than Pay has had over the last two or so years). We're supposed to have a competitive/top eight roster next year.
