The thing with Foran is he plays direct. He goes to the line with options (something neither of our halves do) and he can touch the ball 3-4 times in a set (again something our halves never do).
its not the all the halves fault if they are not being provided with options. think back to when when graham was going the linevwith decoys/options.

that is structure.

If I was bothered enough I'd dig up the thread and pull out the general consensus that the team was travelling fine and we didn't him.

Foran would save us. Des will change the structure for him.. And foran will have the cajones to tell forwards to fuck off. And they'll listen to him.

Foran is a class player through and through. Anyone in the other thread saying idiot shit like we don't need him etc are just clueless. His head isn't right now, but he'll be back. And when he is back, we need to be ready to pounce.

I'm starting to change my mind.

  • Barba masked the lack of quality in the halves in 2012
  • 2014 Trent Hodkinson had the best season of his career

What other choices are there out on the market who have a proven pedigree?

I'd take the risk on him, it has got to be better than what our current halves are dishing up.

I know we got the win but FFS... How average is our execution and attack... our brand of football is seriously ugly. The only consolation is that our top 4 aspirations are still well and truely alive and well.

The team is travelling fine and we don't, there you go, I just said it here to save you the trouble.

We are in 4/5 with a month to go, we're not in desperate need of anything, but there is always room for improvement, if there is someone out there who can contribute to what has been one of the elite teams for the last few years, cool. If not.... like we always have while Des has been here, bet we play finals football next year too (given its pretty much a given we will be this year again).

Not sure what we need saving from speaking over season periods, being statistically one of the very top achieving teams?

(trade deadline is also passed, so we aren't actually talking about him for this year are we?...... surely we're not that stupid here)

Signing Foran on his own won't be good enough. We also need fullback who has the full skill set, passing game, running and a decent grubber

FB? We have 2 top FBs. Since when do FBs have a kicking game? And when do FBs pass? All they do is run and defend.

Des' ego is so big he signed up players who are not fullbacks and tried to turn them into good ones. His experiment has failed.

Look at teams who have won the comp in recent years:

Coote
Inglis
Minichello fine wine
Slater
Brett Stewart
Darius
Slater

Yeah bring in Foran, he can play next week....oh wait he's injured for the 100th time in his career
Yeah, I'm not entirely convinced by a Foran pick up, it's a lot of money for maybe 10 games a year..

We should have signed Adam Quinlan... decent player.

What about we sign Foran and do this:

1. Mbye
2. Rona
3. JMoz
4. Hoppa
5. Moz
6. Reynolds
7. Foran
We should have signed a rock star fullback... Raelene failed to deliver.

Foran is lost, can't see him playing anywhere soon. His dad is CEO of Walmart, I don't think money is an issue lol
