I think Foran is the better of the two and to be honest, I don't rate Evans very highly at all. He is just playing in a very well coached team.
On the few occasions that Manly has been taken apart this season, Evans goes missing and does not provide direction.
The only way I can see anyone making this comment is that they have not seen him play much or they dont like a young bloke getting wraps.
Saying he goes missing is so far from accurate I cant believe it.
Putting it all down to a well coached team I find amusing, he must have been lucky in that regards, cause everywhere he has played so far he has dominated in well organised sides.
If you can listen to his instructions when he plays, you might notice that HE IS the reason they are so organised. He is an incredible instructor for a young player. At the start of the set he calls the set organisation, he tells his hooker what channel he needs the ball in on the plays where he thinks it matters, usally the 4th and last, on the attack maybe more. He lines up the receivers and decoy runners on a number of plays if required. He runs the show like very few in the league.
When he was in NYC I reckon he was the best organiser i had ever seen for a player of that age, I think he is just confirming this
Im also wondering how the coaching has helped him lead tackle breaks for all halves in the competition.
The kid is very talented, to say otherwise is pure folly.
