In the annals of Rugby League history, there is a special place for those brothers where one is good, and the other was a spud. The likes of the Aubussons and Kimmorleys immediately come to mind.
However, one pair that often flies under the radar, is that of Kieran Foran and his older brother Liam.
Whilst Kieran became a Manly fan favourite, Liam had to grind away for the few chances he got in first grade. A classic case, Kieran got all the talent but Liam had to work for it.
Liam initially played 3 games at Melbourne in 2008, then spent 3 years in the abyss before receiving a chance to play for his brother’s club in 2012.
Ironically, his role was to replace an injured Kieran in the halves, but there was one game where the brothers lined up together in Manly’s 18-10 win over the Roosters in Round 11. Of course, Kieran started at Five-Eighth whilst Liam rode the pine, and I’m sure the young smart-arse would have let his big bro know all about it as they fell asleep in their bunk beds.
