The Warriors are attempting to poach veteran five-eighth Blake Green from Manly next season to replace star pivot Kieran Foran.

Green, aged 30, is under contract to the Sea Eagles for 2018 but the club is not willing to extend him beyond that.

Journeyman Green wants to end his career with a lucrative, two or three year deal and the Warriors are prepared to give him that.

But Manly would have to agree to release Green, who has proved a great foil for Daly Cherry-Evans at Brookvale, for the deal to eventuate.

Green recently chalked up his 200th top grade game, starting his career at the Eels in 2007 before stints with the Sharks, Bulldogs, Hull KR, Wigan and Melbourne.

He joined the Sea Eagles this year and has been one of the few players to leave the Storm and maintain his high standard of form.

The Warriors are looking for a player to take the pressure off Shaun Johnson in the halves and see Green as the ideal replacement for Foran, who has signed with the Bulldogs for 2018.
