Out of Foran's 9 years at the top grade he has played:
2009 Debut season - 9 games out of 27 (Only debuted in round 15)....missed 3 games due to Orford coming back and going to reserve grade, then secured a bench spot due to a player getting injured
2010 - 23 games out of 27.....4 missed games
2011 - 26 games out of 29 Included finals....3 missed games
2012 - 21 games out of 28 Included finals....7 missed games
2013 - 27 games out of 30 Included finals....3 missed games
2014 - 22 games out of 28 Included finals....6 missed games
2015 - 19 games out of 26 Didn't make finals....8 missed games
2016 - 9 games out of 26 Didn't make finals & Off field issues we all know about....17 missed games
2017 - 12 games so far (take not when I posted this comment, we just past round 19)....7 missed games
So all in total he has missed 58 games of a 266 games he could of played. I just keep seeing the "he is injury prone" comment every where these days. Going off this info, do you guys think he is injury prone ? It seems he is on the field a fair bit more than he is off it.

He is busted, only recent history matters. Just watch him play. He's part of the busted class from Manly that got run into the ground under Hasler, he just happens to be a little younger than the others.

I've been quoting these stats lately too mate. Hes hasn't suffered many big injuries at all apart from last year. This "injury prone/broken down" bandwagon is pretty short sighted and based off one injury

Hes always been kind of slow and had a weird running style. Who are the other busted ones? Surely you don't mean guys like watmough and the stewart brothers, they're at the end of their careers what would you expect

Mate, you do understand you can't force people to come to a club. To some people their playing legacy is important. There is a long list of players who moved to other clubs when in a similar position and it was a black mark on their career.

Cronk has nothing to prove, he has done it all, origins/premierships/playing for his country. What does he prove by coming to us? He may end his career winning a premiership in 2017. He comes to the bulldogs and plays with slow backs and a bunch of unfit plodder forwards like Eastwood and Tolman. As I said in my first post he can not save the club on his own.

Whens the last time a fg nrl team has had a player coach? Would never happen. No player could do both jobs at fg level. And whose to say cronk can coach for shit? Lamb cant coach so being a star player means nothing.

Wally Lewis 1992. And the hapless Seagulls took their 2nd wooden spoon, on their way to a third the following year (when Wally became full time coach).
