Haven’t even noticed him on the field since his return.
Except his try assist last week. That was probably the most creative halves play we have seen all year.
It's a tough one for him. Naturally he is tentative, but if he wants another contract, for any club, then he needs to really step up and deliver, which means putting his body on the line as he is known to do.

Actually yeah you're right that was a nice play but quite often with Foran he will make a brilliant play and then do nothing for the rest of the game.

I always thought he played his best footy when he plays second fiddle to a dominant half. He just doesn't get involved enough to be play maker leading the attack.

Ever since he left Manly playing with DCE he has never hit those heights again. Now that could be due to injury, not playing with a dominant half or maybe a mixture of both.

I give alot of that assist to Cogger. He had the vision to go to blind side. JMK would have passed infield

For a player on a lazy $1M a year, Foran doesn't get involved enough. Compare him to JT or Keary - there is no comparison. If Foran is on $1M, they should be on at least double that.
Keary would be a dream, even with his concussion issues, but why would he ever leave the penthouse to come to the doghouse (pun intended)

You don't think foran would have called the play and for the ball?? Of course he did. But your right, JMK would have passed infield to Lewis who wasn't there.

Foran and oir other halves are useless BUT it must be hard trying to play with the slowest ball imaginable.

Hooker hasn't got a clue, game plan all out the back door crap, forwards slow asf, back rowers couldn't hit a hole in a brothel as a half it would be horrible.

We play one of the slowest games EVER lol, in a time when it should be all up tempo. But apparently master coach Pay didn't change much after the new rules were implemented. Good move. The side to side all out the back is a master stroke out of 2009 Dragons play book LOL.

Having had a whinge, dont resign him.

Well that sucks. He was the one realistic target I was hoping we would get!
It’s looking rather grim on the list of available players now.

I didn't think Cotric was ever leaving Canberra to be honest.

Sadly it is. The free agents list of quality is getting slimmer.
Only hope now is there’s some player movement that triggers some on contract players looking for a new club but who knows if that will happen.

Brandon Smith. If Grant is going to play hooker, Smith isnt going to want to play lock for too long.
