Lolohea admitted he was initially reluctant to think of himself as a specialist winger, where the Warriors are already well served by veteran Manu Vatuvei and national team rookie David Fusitu'a, although the latter may have found a home in the centres.
"A little bit, but at the end of the day, it's what's best for the team and I finally told myself that it's all good," said Lolohea.
"Other positions that I wanted to play have some players in them, but [Kearney] says I've got some skills to play in the wing."
Lolohea admitted he had enjoyed the first pre-season under Kearney, despite the uncertainty over his future.
"A lot has changed, a lot of people around the club have changed, there's a lot of knowledge around the club and I feel like the boys have come a lot closer.
"I feel like I've been able to be myself and had a lot of fun during this pre-season. I know there's been a lot going on, but I've actually enjoyed this pre-season quite a bit.
"If we can take this into the season, stay close together, I think this will be a positive for us."
