1 min: South Sydney get first use of the Steeden after Manly kick off.
Belief. Connection. Honesty.
Not the words of a marriage counsellor. Just a Kieran Foran press conference after signing a three-year deal as Manly’s head coach seven months after retiring as a player and three months since stepping in as interim boss following the sacking of Anthony Seibold.
Not since John “Bomber” Peard 46 years ago has a player traded the boots for a clipboard so quickly, according to renowned statistician David Middleton.
Foran, who had a 208-day break between roles (although he was already an assistant at Manly), joins the likes of Craig Young, Greg Pierce and John O’Neill in shifting from player to coach in such rapid time, and Foran’s success at the club so far – Manly have won seven of their past nine games – is as good a proof as any.
