Warriors give injured Foran time

KIERAN Foran is in doubt to face his future NRL teammates when the Warriors host Canterbury tomorrow.

Coach Stephen Kearney said five- eighth Foran was recovering from a quadriceps injury in the Warriors’ 34- 12 win over Gold Coast a week and a half earlier.

A bye week had given the Kiwis international extra time to recuperate and a late call will be made on his availability.

“We’ll give him until as late as possible, probably until the captain’s run on Thursday,” Kearney said.

“But he’s progressing and we’re hopeful he’ll be OK.”

Foran ended months of speculation about his future in April by signing a three- year deal with the Bulldogs.

Kearney confirmed the Warriors would not seek a replacement this season for assistant coach Steve McNamara.

Former England coach McNamara was granted an early release after being appointed head coach of Super League club the Catalans Dragons.

Kearney believes remaining assistants Andrew McFadden and Stacey Jones are sufficient to see out the campaign.

Club great Jones will be the lone attack coach, having previously shared the role with McNamara.
