Great to see a young player of promise receive the club person of the year award for the hard work he’s done all year around a struggling side. So easy for a 19 year old who isn’t playing footy all year to sit back and take a year off I think it’s a great sign that the club holds him in such high regard not only as a player but a person can’t wait to see this young bloke make his debut hopefully sooner than later bright future

agreed, seems like a good kid with his head screwed on as well not just one with talent. Very excited to see him make his debut. looking at penrith i hope barrett has the same kind of youth policy when he takes over here. if there is one bright spot in the club it is that there seem to be a few younger guys that could be pushing for first grade spots next year

Great Kid, definite future great of our club in the making. Hope he gets the pathway through to first grade that he deserves and the club don’t stuff it up.

Hope I'm wrong about this but he seems to small for the forwards and to slow for the backs. Not sure where he fits in.

He did look smallish in the trials but was standing just as tall as RFM in one of the games as a ball boy. He is a leader and a live wire so cant wait to see what he has got next year.

I can't believe Foran got the player of the year award.. surely it should of been RFM.
The players voted and for some reason I suspect that they have a far better idea than we do.

I think it was the fact Foran was the best player on the team, when on of course.

RFM getting coaches award is probably as higher an honour considering its directly from your peers.

I actually reckon he could start his a career as centre for us, like SBW did. It would help fill a void for us and let’s face it back row is an area we are probably overstocked on.

Yeah lets be honest... not much else to choose from.

The fact Foran showed up and busted his ass week in week out was enough. Even though he is a piece of shit of a human.

its not higher, foran's award is a players player award, that is the highest award there is. coaches award is just usually an "effort" award from the coaching staff and they dont consider the players player award.

They should have renamed the award for Foran to Player of half the year!

RFM must few hard done by. He played almost 1/3 more games than Foran and was our best forward once Elliott was injured.
