Is Foran Bad for the Bulldogs Rebuild?

[Howie B]

JMK is a decent # 14. Can cover a few positions. Thats his limit

Him and Cogger might fight for that position next year if Foran stays fit. Thats a big "if" though. He had a full pre season last year as well and got around like a 80 year grandma for half the year before breaking down. Not sure what miracles they will perform this off season to make sure it doesnt happpen again. Hopefully Tony Ayoub will bring in some fresh ideas on how to get at least $250k value out of our $1 million signing

THIS , I stopped reading after that point, but I did get a glimpse of Foran @ 13 just before I closed the article and had another chuckle at the incompetence of this journo..

We will struggle to find places for our existing Backrowers ...

Bahah I didn't even read the article to that point.

Already have enough (if not too many) quality backrowers? Why not throw a busted half in at lock. What a shocker.

No matter what I support the Players in my team. You are all talking like you are paying FORANS salary from your pockets. Good Luck to him. If he earns $100000 or $900000 I dont care... I am sure if you can get a payrise at your work place regardless if people think you deserve it or not then I say well done.
I Believe in Foran. I THINK his time OFF would be good for his body and if the players around him Play well especially our forward pack which I think will be the best forward packs in the comp in 2019
Our back line has lost the Morris twins but really they didnt do much for us in last few years. We will have a backline with youth and speed. Forans experience will be worth more than a Million dollars.
MARK My words we will win the premiership next year. You might say i am delusional but I don't care.

We need to motivate our players to succeed. The players need to feel that we believe in them.
If FORAN reads what alot of you write about him then how is that going to help?
All I read is negativity and criticism. 99% Of you couldnt even coach an under 12 Team.

.. Obviously I'm not expecting a Manly Foran,

How about a Warriors or Eels Foran?

 

[Mr Invisible]

Before you bother reading the first link, you must understand that this same bloke in 2014 wrote an article "Is Des Hasler the best coach in the NRL" which ended in he following line "If he guides the Dogs to victory this weekend it may be time to talk about Des Hasler as not the best coach in his time, but one of the greatest of all time."

and henceforth the writer has ZERO credibility, nor Rugby League knowledge, and should not even bother.

Didn't think he was that bad when he did play at Parra.. he made us look silly anyway.... still better than JMK

Mate I like your optimism, but for me whatever Foran is paid is it $900,000 or $1,000,000 its wasted money, it reduces our cap by exactly that amount.
I don't know the rule regarding the TPA's, but if it is what I heard, that a club's players, can all earn up to $200,000 in TPA's, then their is a good chance that the Rotters could have all 30 players on $200,000 worth of TPA's. this would give them a affective cap of $9.4 mill plus $6 Mill in TPA's, TOTAL could be close to $15.4 Mill.
Our club would be on $9.4 Mill plus very few if any TPA's, minus Forans salary, and also minus Woods and Mbye's freight TOTAL probably not much more than $8 M.
P.S. don't mind been corrected.

Bad? I don’t think so.

Needed? Not at all...!!!

a lot depends on 2019 season. Foran will either be a great comeback story and great for us, or retired and great for our cap imo. Win-win.

Your delusional but I hope your right

 

[Moedogg]

Hoping for Foran to turn it around is like waiting for 2005 Benji...it will never happen.

 

[silverelvis69]

My response is Foran good for our club?
No

He is trying to playing like he body is young rather adjusted -ie terry lamb , bento masrshal and even cooper Cronk

We need leadership and ha is trying to lead by taking his body to the line to get bashed!

 

[Matilida]

It will be interesting with Des back at Manly he may want Foran back there at Manly.

 

[Snake]

FYI - JMK is on record for saying the halves experiment is OVER. He has been told he will train exclusively as a HOOKER from next pre-season.

Does that mean having Holland on the bench is over too??

 

[Bob dog]

Maybe there was too much pressure on him and he was trying too hard coming off losses, he might go ok in a new look side after a couple of wins.
Should still have something to offer.

Holland will be in the centres to continue the partnership combo with Smith. It’s a must. It’s all we have.
