Saying it aint gunna happen is an opinion or a guess its part of the future and I really hope your proven wrong ,if commitment helps he will be back playing like he did last game !
Yes, it was unlucky.....but use your common sense and look at the number of injuries he has sustained in recent years and the amount of time he has spent on the sidelines. If you blew into his knee joint the damn thing would probably give way. He is not a good investment and is chewing up valuable cap space. Even at his best he isn't worth what he is on. Average recovery time for syndesmosis injury is 6-8 weeks, btw....last year he sat out most of the season due to an injured toe. Injuries happen, but Foran spends much more time injured than most and tends to get serious injuries which take a long time to heal.
Not if he willingly retires. He wouldn't be the first player to retire before a contract has finished. In that case, the contract is void. You're probably right that the NRl would be suspicious he had been pushed to make the decision if we just offer him an off field role for the same money, though. Not like he needs the money anyway. he could retire, take an off field role for significantly less and still never have to worry about the price of electricity. I think it's more about him being determined to prove he can do it rather than the money. I don't think he's a bad guy or is playing on out of greed, but I do think he's in denial.
If Foran is out for the next 10 weeks he will have played 15 out of 38 possible games with the Bulldogs. 39% played.
I'm not pretending anything. His back issue is being managed and managed very well judging by his performances, not just this year but last year as well. Like I suspect that almost every NRL player has something that needs special attention in preparation and recovery. If we ruled out players that were carrying something there wouldn't be anyone playing.
I'm not so sure about that, he did have a severe gambling problem, reported to have lost a lot of money, a not insubstantial cost of his overseas rehab clinic, ongoing payments to his previous partner with 2 children, plus paying for his wife with 6 children. I think he needs as much money as he can make for as long as his football career lasts.
I’m sure his old man could cover all those costs with the loose change in his car ashtray.
Point proven.... which other $1mil player in the league has stats like that?
His old man is absolutely loaded, mate. I don't think he needs the coin, regardless of his past gambling issues and parental payments. He could have an executive position at Walmart if he wanted it.
Allow what? If a player retires and quit what’s wrong with that? How did Holmes so called quit nrl and get away with ripping up his contract. He wants to come back and play if he doesn’t make nfl.... if foran retires early and quits end of year nrl can not say shit about it. Again not having a crack at ya just making my perspective clear
Any one involved in NRL clubs have to be registered so they aren’t going to allow Foran to be paid a million a year to be a assistant coach.
this is also my biggest issue with the cronulla cap saga they 100% with all intentions wanted him on the books this season, but he left... remember how they were supposedly meant to lose a player... NRL's slogan 'rules for some, rules for others'
I’m pretty sure our club can pay Foran to be a waiter manager at the leagues club for $1mil??? lol
Lol his old man won’t get him a job... actually him and his old man have some differences.
Yeah they can but while he has a contract it’s included on the cap.
Really? Why? Is his old man a Bulldogs supporter? Lol
Just differences not related to football. And won’t be able to get a job at Walmart due to the political nature of that scenario
None... Hes also played less than 50% of games in all of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. This is his normal form. Its not taking away from his hard work, its just reality.
