We all want to win, we all want success but it's a sad state of what has become of some of us Canterbury fans who thinks they are perfect,
we are so quick at judging others without knowing the full circumstances, one minute a player is our super hero the next minute he is public enemy number 1.
I am as upset as every one is about the current situation of our team but believe me it's not the end of the world and thing will get better, I know Hasler has done a job on us but don't you think we are helping him by carrying on like we are ?
Foran had or still has mental and fitness issues and we all know that, and unless he deliberately has misled Canterbury he deserves the chance to fix his problems be it at Canterbury or any other club.
The last time I checked rugby league was still a sport, Canterbury is a great club, welfare of people is more important than results.
Back stabbing each other and our players will get us nowhere !
I believe we should show Hasler what Canterbury is truly made of...Stick by foran and help him recover !
In return Foran Should acknowledge his own situation and renegotiate his contract with the club to make it feasible for the club to keep him and stay cap compliant

Yes we have a good club and try to help get people right again but dont dismiss the issue that Foran owes something in return to his employer and its supporters...he owes his fellow players and his coach whose futures live and die on current results. If he still has mental and fitness issues he is on a hiding to nothing for years if he keeps on playing...it would be the utmost of optimists to think that he could be back after needing a year long break...and a year sitting out to get right looks optimistic.
If he renegotiated his contract (Ive heard people say that can't be done though)then at least the club wouldn't be at such a disadvantage.
I wish him all the best and it's nothing personal about him. If he was playing well he would have been a hero... but as it stands he is doing his legacy and future health a disservice by playing on. Only he knows how damaged he is, but when he says he struggles to walk at night and hobbles around by day, then yes its only a game and he should think long term.
The club would look after him with a halves coaching role.
