I really thought in 2016 when we signed Kieran Foran that was our circuit breaker with him in the mix with the team he had around him I thought we would have been top 4 for that year and many years after that.How cruel it was the front office managed to screw that also.
The front office didn't screw that, Kieran Foran did. Unless you're talking about the salary cap cheating, in which case, we wouldn't have signed all those players without it.

The front office screwed it because they got caught cheating that was the bigger issue.Foran unfortunately his body was at the end of it by the time he got to us and the mental state hurt him also.
"Regarding Ryda, Pryke could go to bench in cup and Ryda starts.
Or, Teancum could be in the NRL 17 if we don't sign a prop or Paulo retires/goes as well.
Mataele has impressed me last two outings but as Chief said he tends to tire easily and can…"

Nope, our forwards are nowhere near good enough
let's say you add them + Hindy and Fuifui then yes I think we would be a threat
You don't think the yardage of Hayne and Semi would lay a better platform for our forwards?
it won't be enough, their yardage won't help our slow ruck in the middle
If you add prime fui fui and Hindy.cause even with prime Hayne and semi.our fowards would just be a letdown
Prime Nathan Brown and Beau Scott in our foward pack would go along way.
How under appreciated is prime N Brown for us
Not be me.

Foran's body was fine. He played more NRL games after leaving Parra than he did before he got here.
As for getting caught, that's the risk every club takes when they fuck around with 'arms length' TPAs. The alternative is mediocrity.
