Warriors playmaker Kieran Foran will sit out tomorrow's NRL clash against the Canterbury Bulldogs side he will join next year after failing to overcome a quad injury.

Foran suffered a quad strain in the Warriors 34-12 win over Gold Coast on June 10 and will now aim to line up against his old Manly team in Perth on July 1.

Six-game rookie Ata Hingano will take over in the five-eighth role against the Bulldogs, having filled in for Foran previously through the opening three rounds before replacing the Kiwis international late in the second-half against the Titans.

The Bulldogs will be without New South Wales wing Brett Morris after he suffered a knee injury in Wednesday's game two State of Origin defeat to Queensland.

Bulldogs coach Des Hasler declared Morris a non-started earlier today and he did not travel to Auckland, while his Blues teammates David Klemmer and Josh Jackson are both set to back-up 48 hours after facing the Maroons.

Veteran Warriors wing Manu Vatuvei has also been cut from coach Stephen Kearney's initial 21-man squad and will play in tomorrow's Intrust Super Premiership clash against Penrith at Mt Smart Stadium.
