Kieran Foran’s pending NRL return for the Warriors could ultimately deliver St George Illawarra a bolt of good fortune.

If Kieran Foran gets approval from the NRLto play next year, Lolohea will have his path blocked by one of the best players in the game and his agent has indicated he would be willing to leave the Warriors.

“He doesn’t want to leave and until the Foran situation is sorted out there is nothing I can do,” Lolohea’s agent Stan Martin told The Daily Telegraph.

“It depends on Kieran, it really does. Tui wants to stay, he doesn’t want to go.

“But at the end of the day if pathways get closed he also knows that he has got a talent and he can go and ply his trade somewhere else.”

One club in dire need of a boost to their halves is the St George Illawarra Dragons. The club decided not to re-sign Benji Marshall and have an opening alongside England International Gareth Widdop.

Martin said Lolohea no longer wants to be known as a utility player. Asked what his preferred position was, Martin said: “Five-eighth. “So if Kieran comes and Kieran goes to five-eighth Tui will certainly not be here.”

"There are expectations, but teams fail them every year.

As far as I am concerned for our sake, my redline is we don't regress.
In simple terms, if we get 10 wins again and players keep improving, I am fine. Not necessarily delighted, but…"

"1. My original comment was on topic. Someone said "it made no sense". I replied "It makes sense like Trump makes sense". This comment meets the standard for deletion how exactly? Is Trump unmentionable now? Unable to be mocked? Why was it deleted?…"

"Lol.....just checking you were on your toes and not just leading that "horse eel" around.
PS there was a lot of catholic priests at that inquisition.....past loves?/ lives?"

  I can't stand Benchi but in a team where he doesn't have to try to win the game single handily each week I reckon he'd still have something to offer . If this Hunt rumours a myth I'd rather a Norman / Marshal combo than a Norman / Gutho
