Former Kiwis captain and Manly Sea Eagles premiership winner Matthew Ridge has criticised the club’s hierarchy for handing Kieran Foran a three-year contract.

Foran was appointed as Manly’s coach through to 2029 in June after a successful run as interim coach as Anthony Seibold was sacked after starting the season with three straight losses.

The New Zealand leadership at the club has expanded since, with former All Blacks coach Steve Hansen brought in as football performance director.

Ridge, who started at fullback when Manly won the 1996 ARL grand final, criticised those at the top of the club for being so willing to hand out such a long contract.
