Parramatta stand down star halfback Kieran Foran

[Brooke]

So. Kieran Foran and Dylan Walker both OD on prescription drugs. Both get taken by ambulance to the same hospital. Both get treatment for at least 48 hours. One gets the disgust of the media heaped upon him and the other is deified. What's the difference here?

I was thinking the same. Souths didn't do the media spin like Parra. Although it would have been for Souths as there was 2 of them involved

Do players get taxed on illegal TPAs ? Maybe a second brown paper bag is handed over, with a label "for the ATO".
Basically Foran is admitting to a TPA at Manly, He didn't want it out there in the press because he knows that it is illegal and that the ATO is likely to come after him over it ?

ATO have easy access to all forms of registration, bank accounts etc.
They have a right to audit everything in your home and you must provide proof on how you came by it.

This TPA story was a diversion on him being caught wasted.
Nothing appeared till his hospitalization.

To Foz, get well mate. Personal issues like this no-one could wish upon you.
He is a good man, very considered and genuine.
Just sad to hear this, I hope it isn't something like a gambling problem, which can cascade to all of the issues mentioned.

Sad, but it seems to be true:
