Foran, the ballast our sinking ship needs

Posted by Joseph on June 11, 2015 at 6:46pm

We should be super excited that Foran is coming to our once great club. Foran is not a flashy player, possessing Ingis like physical skills but don't fooled. We don't need another super flashy, unpredictable super human to solve our current problems.

What we need is smarts and stability, welcome Kieran Foran, we currently have a team of talented dumb asses, with all due respect to the team, we have a Melbourne cup winning horse without a jockey.

On paper, Semi, Hopoate, Watmough, Moeroa, Peats, Norman, Manu Junior Paulo and Pauli Pauli are all potential guns. Jockey less thoroughbreds, that's where Foran will change our fortunes, he's not the thoroughbred, he is the winning jockey.

Foran has smarts, composure and a cool head, he is the best signing the club has made in over two decades.

Bring on 2016!!

Foran should make a big difference steering the ship
But
We aren't sinking and
Watmough is a not green or dumb- strikes me as a great leader

Foran is our wing keel we will win the next americas cup. Beu Scott will be just as important to our succes.

  No Foran is John Bertrand, BA is Ben Lexcen and Steve Sharp is Alan Bond.
  
  Scott is the Wing Keel giving us the sturdiness in defence.

Just hope foran does not get hurt for long period at a time next year or will be F##K

Foran has serious back problems (Bulging discs threatening to rupture) that have become chronic. That is why he no longer plays as aggressively as he once did. He will rarely take it to the line these days, and as a ball runner that was his primary skill. He is now trying to re-invent his game, so far unsuccessfully. If you think he is the savior I think you may be disappointed.

  First time I've heard of this back problem. Surely we wouldn't sign him on over $1 mil if it was a problem?

Sadly, it's a fact

Yes Joe, Next Year, Next Year!!!

As for Foran gees I hope you are right. The Parramatta club has a history of turning stallions into donkeys.

The people on the Titanic had no idea what was about to happen. Foran does have an idea. BA is the captain of the ship. Sandow a stowaway.

We may have a decent half in Foran but if we don't find some decent backs we are going to continue our slide ... In other words more wooden spoons.
For the life of me I can't understand how we cannot find a half decent fullback in the NSW or Q Cup. If our master plan is to play Robinson anywhere but the wing next year we are stuffed.
Will Foran make a difference ? I'm actually looking forward to him kicking the rest of the backs (excluding Semi) up the backside constantly because they definitely need it.
