Don't know Kieran Foran. Never met him but I've watched him play rugby league for Manly, the Kiwis and more interestingly now he's clad in the mighty blue and gold colours at the Eels.
From what I read or heard about Foran, he seemed to be one of the more
dedicated and ego-free players on the NRL circuit.
That impression was enhanced when I saw he'd written a letter to his new Parramatta teammates as he dealt with a personal crisis which forced him to stand aside from the job he clearly loves.
When he was trying to deal with some issues which had derailed his life, even in that pain and with that distraction, Foran wrote to his Eels teammates to urge their forgiveness and encourage them against the Bulldogs.
Whatever the connection the Eels bullocked their way to a 20-12 victory. They played with the determination and energy Foran brings to every game he plays.
