Quote: Michigan red "As for Foran think he is a natural leader who despite joining the squad part way into the season is the main person talking when he on the field. There were times on Saturday where Wild was annonymous when words were needed and Foran was doing his job for him.
Sorry on that topic think we might have to look at dropping Wild as he offered very little on Saturday, pretty sure we must have a more effective #13 (I'd like to see Foran tried personally) as he is becoming more and more nothing but a blocker rather than the modern #13 who brings a bit creativity and guile to a team.'"
I would hope, when McPherson and Jewitt are fit again, Wild takes a back seat like Nero is. Nothing against Wild I still think he'd run his blood to water for us, but he just isn't competitive in SL anymore. Never in a month of Sundays does Foran have the physique or fitness for Loose Forward.
A Loose Forward needs the size to take in hit ups (sorry for the terminology, been watching the NRL) and good enough hands to perform as the extra pivot. Now we have Sneyd at FB there is no real need for another pivot, thinking too many chiefs and not enough Indians type scenario. Although he is overweight, he doesn't have the stature to play in the pack. So if he can't take hit ups and we don't need another pivot, he shouldn't be playing Loose Forward. Infact, I'm of the opinion for an elusive runner or the Paul Gallen style extra prop, but to find someone who can effectively do the latter is very difficult.
