The Warriors players have blocked out the speculation around Kieran Foran's playing future by concentrating on Tuesday's clash with the table-topping Storm in Melbourne. "Within the team, we haven't really talked about it all," veteran forward Simon Mannering said. For the guys involved - no one has really talked about it or mentioned it." Mannering spoke about what it means to play on a day that has so much history and meaning to Australians and New Zealanders. "We challenged really well for 40 minutes in the first half and had a couple of opportunities come our way in the back end of that first half," Kearney said.
