Parramatta Eels CEO John Boulous has pointed to the support from the Eels community as overwhelming following the annoucnement that Captain Kieran Foran would take a leave of absence from the club for an indefinite period.
The Eels halfback will receive medical treatment for personal issues, a decision supported by his teammates, coach and the club.
"Our priority is the welfare of the player and individuals within our club," Boulous said.
"He’s an integral member of our club and that’s echoed by the outpouring of support from Members and fans. Our quest is to ensure that his welfare is looked after and that our support is there for him and his family."
"Everyone goes through personal problems in their life, and in this case for kieran we need to make sure that this welfare is looked after. In cases like this, football comes second to someone’s welfare."

Nice stuff from John, hoping the support will give Foz a lift, who knows, he might sit down in a few weeks and read a bit of it and be reminded of how loved he is and how much support he has even from the bloke off the street like us, i want him to know that the club he has come to is more than about just winning and losing, its times like this and the way people react that helps install a heart and soul in a club.
we havent had the calibre of foz in our team for the last 30 odd so we better be sensitive or we are rooted!
I hope Foz can take some solace in how the club, members and fans sincerely do wish him well.
Bring on 2017.
Well said Snake, here here!
Just watched the interview with Boulous, thought he handled himself well. Really disappointed in the grubby questions and tactics used by the journalists. They couldnt give a flying fig about Keiran, they were just looking for dirt. What grubby, dirty little men they are. No integrity whatso ever. Germs
Frank I feel your frustration, unfortunately, time frames with these types of problems can't be set.
As humans we only hope that Kieran gets the help and support he needs. As 1eyed Eels supporters, we pray he recovers sooner rather than later.
As I could not of said it any
better.
Parramum... Cheers!
