  He needs to play some footy and keep the trolls quiet.

  If he puts a big performance in tomorrow night, his 'issues' become less of a focal point.

  I'm not sure if it's a good idea either, it just keeps him in the spotlight which, I think, will only feed these sharks and keep him in the papers.
  I just hope he's made the decision to do this himself and not been pressured to do it.
  I hope that if he asks for privacy then these ego driven and money hungry excuses for humans finally respect his wishes and let's him get on with his recovery in peace.

  Hope Brad states no News limited employee will have access to our staff or players. Ferk the NRL regulations.talk about our players mental health and for their own safety and well being this media ban will be put into place with other media orginasations also on notice. Id like to see the NRL try to do something about that. Espeacially if respected health practitioners come out on our behalf.

    I have heard on good authority that Wicksy and Manu kidnapped the Telegraph reporters and stuffed them into the tackling bags. Accordingly I think you will see a very aggressive defensive line tomorrow night and a line of reporting that focuses on the game.

    Bup; That is a very good philosophy and agree with you  all the way. It is time we stood up to the NRL . Who gives them authority to compel clubs to do things against the interests of our players? The NRL is the enemy we should fight.

  Read yesterday that BA was having media meeting this morning, no doubt its over the gambling article it was originally announced as being at 1000, I would think Foran will more than likely read a prepared statement & BA will answer any pertinent questions, otherwise it will be a vulture feast by the journo's as they try to attack Keiran.

  Yes, I love how he handles the media. No Stuart bullshitt, just straight up and honest and when they push a question too far, he just cuts them off.

  You could tell he was pretty pierced with the media in general and fair enough.

  Also, great to hear that Foran is stronger mentally right now than in a long time and that he expects a big performance to pay back his team mates.

  100% agree. Just watched it and you can just sense that he has a great footy brain and relationship with the lads

  Yeah mate it was a great interview.

  It's easy to see that BA is a pillar and a protector for the group, and you can see the genuine care he has for his players.

  Loved how he politely refused to get into Foz's personal life in any way and explained that, while they are public figures, aspects of their private lives should not be in the public domain.

  He speaks so professionally. Charasmatic. A real leader.

  Such an impressive bloke - we are VERY lucky to have him.
