Another fluff piece from Peters/Ricthie.
It is a pity that this knob Foran has only started playing footy again in the last two rounds. Thanks to him we need to win every game to make the semis.
Pity he didn't realise this a few games earlier. Absolute dickhead
Foran if the biggest reason why toovey got the sack and he has the hide to say that the players take some blame for his sacking.
Cannot stand the bloke. Will be well suited at the loser club Parramatta
Kieran Foran says Sea Eagles players focused on making NRL finals
The Sea Eagles precariously sit a single win outside the top eight but one loss could end their season — and the club’s playoffs dynasty.
“When you think of Manly, you don’t think of Manly missing the finals,” star five-eighth Kieran Foran said.
Manly’s finals aspiration go on the line yet again in a bumper game against South Sydney at a packed Brookvale Oval.
And Foran revealed Manly will confront the final five rounds “all guns blazing”.
“If we can get into the eight, we will be giving it a red-hot crack,” Foran said.
Asked were the players thinking ‘not on my watch’, Foran said: “I think everyone is thinking that. Manly always sets high standards. It has been such a successful club, we just want to uphold that tradition.
“There has been such a strong, winning culture here. As players, it is built into the club.
“It’s ingrained. It’s a winning club.
“As players, we don’t want to miss the eight. We know there has been a standard set here for so many years. It’s about getting there and doing the best job we can.”

Manly and Souths will tear into each other.
It will potentially be one of the games of this season.
“We’re not in a position to really drop a game. We realise how desperate it is,” Foran said.
“I think that is why we are going into every game all guns blazing. It doesn’t get any bigger than Friday night — coming up against the defending premiers.
“It’s a huge game — I think our season is on the line every match from here on in.
“We have had a lot of distractions away from footy this year, it just seems like everything is settled now. Everyone can focus purely on footy. It’s good to be notching up the wins and we really want to set our sights on making the eight. But we are still a fair way away from the top sides and getting there.
“Whether it had to get this position where we had to be desperate to turn it on, I’m not too sure. But whatever we are doing at the moment is working for us.”
With all the contract and coaching dramas the Sea Eagles have faced this season, five-eighth Kieran Foran says they're glad to have it behind them, so they can be fully focused on their footy.
Foran said Manly players felt some responsibility for the club’s sacking of coach Geoff Toovey.
“As players, we certainly feel responsibility. We are the ones out on the field and we are the ones that hadn’t been getting the results this year,” he said.
“That comes purely down to us. They (the coaches) have been doing the best job they could do. For some reason, we just weren’t coming away with the wins.
“That’s footy. It’s a results-driven game.”
