Keiran Foran injury prone?

[jpneves]

Just heard Foran is out of tomorrow's clash with a thigh injury.
Just a concern when we signed him is the amount of time out of is career he has had with injury particularly his hamstrings
Have we bought damaged goods both mentally and physically?
Don't get me wrong when he is on the park he is a great player. I just would be peeved the club spending big bucks on someone playing say 14 games a year. Reynolds has had a reletively good run with injury in his career

You are certainly not the first to raise this concern and definitely won't be the last. Who knows the answer really, we will have a good idea by this time next season though.

I'll be suprised if he plays 16 games for us next season not including finals tbh.

 

[BELMORE]

His body is beat up because he plays full throttle every game for 80 minutes. He seems to be a bit injury prone but meh he's a gun

 

[Papa Joe]

He pulled out of the first game we played Vs Warriors this year too after it was supposed to be his first game back.

Maybe he has an agreement with Desmond that he has to start helping us win from this year

He wont have the same problems here at our state of the art facilities....

 

[Moedogg]

He looks so slow when he runs..

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

He looks so slow when he runs..

Thats what happens when you have no hamstrings.

 

[CaptainJackson]

A torn hammie like what foran has had over and over again means unstable strength distribution between the quad and hamstring on the same leg.

Will lead to back pain as well as injuring quad and hammie over and over again until strength distribution is corrected

So yes he's a risk

 

[FattyMcLarge]

Pretty sure there was something in his contract regarding more money for higher %age of games played. The cellar amount was 650k.

 

[Dognacious]

Yeh id be pissed if he ends up playing half the season for a million a year. Lets hope his games played % will improve with us, over what its been the last few years.

 

[Chrisaaar]

He's worth the risk...

 

[GrogDog]

Let's just hope that the zillion dollars we have spent on our footy operations can be the difference.

 

[Cook]

Worth the risk and at least available for origin games

 

[Alan79]

That was part of the reason I was concerned that we chased him, but hopefully he stays fit for the majority of the season.

 

[Phalangist]

16 rounds of Foran but he is available during finals or 26 rounds of renoylds and renoylds at finals?

I prefer Foran

Will you turn back after winning the comp with Foran running the show in a few years and say damn he was always injured though?

Id be saying thank god hes not injury prone like he was before he played for us. He wont win us shit playing half the games. Lets hope he turns that around with us.

He hasnt had that much time out if you look at his whole career.
