Kieran foran does not have a get out clause

Kieran foran has no get-out clause in his $4.7 million contract.Sure, one has been written.Worded to suggest the Manly megastar, signed to the Eels over four years from 2016, can flee at the first sign of political turmoil.Which effectively binds him to the club for life, right?For what is “political turmoil” inside the basket case that is Parramatta?Certainly it’s not the departure of current CEO Scott Seward. No, that’s simply maintaining the status quo.One which, in the past nine years alone, has seen the Eels also churn through Denis Fitzgerald, Paul Osborne, Bob Bentley and Ken Edwards.It’s a similar story with the punted coach.Political turmoil? Hardly.Kieran Foran is off to Parramatta next year. Picture: Mark EvansThis is life. Since Brian Smith walked midway through 2006, the Eels have changed coaches seven times, with the drums already beating to suggest Brad Arthur will make eight within the decade.And as for Foran getting to walk because of boardroom upheaval?Please. It might be considered “turmoil” at other NRL clubs. But not the Slipperies. No, Parramatta’s board has long resembled the preschool sandbox.So what if voting is rigged? Sorry Kieran, you can’t walk for that. Happens all the time. Same with dodgy backroom deals. And club legends threatening one another with 1980s violence.In fact, you’d have to think those Eels who signed off on the Foran clause did so knowing what it is. The most iron-clad guarantee in the NRL.

"It's time to start bringing in some young blokes. They did well towards the end of last year Guymer,Moretti etc. TDS needs time in reserve grade have papa as utility. Hopgood offers very little. Get rid of Brian Kelly. Need to ask everyone was Dylan…"

Fui and Captain Cayless were the winners earning the spots at front row for the team.Now onto Hookers, a position that had limited options.Anyway not long now til our starting 13 is settled.https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3Q9GTXJ1. Hayne2. Radradra3.…

One game only, same old story. 40 years of this rubbish. Every pre-season, big talk, everyone says this is our year. Sometimes we start okay, sometimes we get smashed like last night, 52-4 by Storm. Then the losses start, we lose all momentum, and…

I hope everyone isn't expecting miracles out of Kieran Foran. He is a very solid player and just the type of player this club lacks but he isn't going to come here and win us a heap of games.

I hope Parramatta at least consider retaining Sandow, even in light of the past couple of weeks, because a lot of that was probably media bullshit and any way you look at it he was parra's players player last year and probably in our top 5 players this year. He has some weaknesses defensively but show me a genuine little man who doesn't.
