7th Tackle: Why Foran won't be heading to Melbourne

Storm coach Craig Bellamy is the driving force to bring Kieran Foran to Melbourne. But for all his success to date, Bellamy appears to have set himself a very difficult task.

Foran has consistently assured the Warriors he'd only leave at the end of the year to join a Sydney club, to be close to his two children.

It would therefore be a very difficult 'sell' if Foran were to continue his career 850km away from them.

The farthest he might be prepared to travel is Newcastle, who are also expected to join the race. Others at Melbourne have their sights set on Gareth Widdop rejoining the club.
