The Warriors have once again denied the request of frustrated utility Tuimoala Lolohea for an immediate release.
The sticking point seems to be that the club feels they can't release him until they have an adequate replacement.
With reports earlier that the Warriors are keen to sign Panthers half Te Maire Martin this season, it now looks like Lolohea's request for a release will not be granted unless Martin makes the move mid-season.
Release could eventually be granted but Warriors unwilling to part ways until they have appropriate cover/replacement signed.

This could be bad news for Mitchell Moses as well, with many believing his release will only be granted if the Wests Tigers are able to sign Lolohea.
There were reports earlier today though that Moses would be granted his release regardless tomorrow morning and free to join the Eels. If true, it comes at a great time for the Parramatta club with Corey Norman expected to be sidelined for a number of weeks with a knee injury.
