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.
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.

No it wasn't he was used up and he fell off the cliff because of it.Us Dogs GC Warriors I mean he didn't play a full season because of his body.It gave up the ghost bigtime.
Yes, in today's rules Hayne and Semi would be unstoppable with Moses, Iongi, Addo Carr. But our forwards and Centre will let us down in much bigger games.
Wasn't he just Captain. '09 Hayne amazed, shocked and thrilled everyone who saw him perform.
When we played the favourites for the comp, Saints, in the first Semi at Kogarah that year I was in disbelief in what unfolded right in front of my eyes, sitting on the Hill about 25 yards from the line.
Hayne went on a zigzag run thru at least 7 defenders, staccata style that he was famous for, beating some players twice then put the ball down near the posts. Just magical...what a player.
"Oh Chief please. Dragons need 4 wins minimum. Even if they win every game til Moses is back they still are not ahead of us. If anything we are losing Moses for more likely one game maybe 2 more than we thought as he would have missed the Canberra…"

Pou is right Coryn....Fos was the fcuk up, no one else....maybe BA as he knew him well enough to know he had problems.
No because we are still parramatta and we would fuck it up somehow

Throw in a Micheal Jennings, Hindmarsh,Vella and Dylan Brown. Yep.
Honestly, yes. Prime Hayne was that good. He was a one man team and he did almost take us to a premiership almost completely on his own.
Semi was great, but Hayne was on another dimension in his prime year. I've never seen such a dominant player as that '09 Hayne run.
