TITANS TAKE CHANCE ON LEGEND\u2019S STEPSON<\/p>\n
Phoenix Steinwede, the stepson of the recently retired Kieran Foran, has received a train-and-trial deal with one of Foran\u2019s former clubs.<\/p>\n
The Titans have signed the 23-year-old to a prove it deal, with Steinwede eyeing off a potential NRL debut next year.<\/p>\n
Steinwede, the son of Foran\u2019s wife Karina, is a Roosters junior who captained the club\u2019s Jersey Flegg team.<\/p>\n
He moved up to the Gold Coast with his family and linked up with QLD Cup team Tweed Heads.<\/p>\n
Now, Steinwede has been given the chance to impress the Titans\u2019 coaching staff this pre-season and if he does, he could force his way onto the club\u2019s roster for 2026.<\/p>\n
Gehamat Shibasaki is the latest player to turn a train-and-trial deal into a success story. This time last year, the Broncos star\u2019s career was in limbo before Michael Maguire took a flyer on him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a good conversation with Josh (Hannay) and he\u2019s all about hard work. He said just be professional, roll in, work hard every day and you\u2019ll see results,\u201d Steinwede told CODE Sports.<\/p>\n
.\u201cI\u2019m just putting my head down, working as hard as I can and making the best connections I can.\u201d<\/p>\n
Steinwede certainly has inspiration for this next phase of his rugby league journey. His brother Logan died suddenly in 2023. <\/p>\n
The aspiring NRL forward spoke about Foran\u2019s role in the wake of a famil tragedy and how Logan\u2019s death has reignited a desire to try and crack first grade. <\/p>\n
\u201cI look at him (Foran) as a father figure, but the way he is in my corner and the way he goes about life for us kids, he sort of feels like your best mate,\u201d Steinwede said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt gave me a purpose and something to strive for, especially being able to do it for myself and him (Logan).<\/p>\n
\u201cI know he would want it for me instead of me sitting around trying to understand why.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dual premiership winning coach Michael Maguire has poured cold water on any rumours linking him to the England…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":287386,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,689,4428,38753,165755,763,2105,2485,4612,165758,4484,33678,4466,6407,761,762,673,158,677,52948,165756,40741,701,84909,13384,48825,61238,85,23826,670,165759,165757,40620],"class_list":["post-287385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-brisbane-broncos","tag-cold-water","tag-dual-premiership-winning","tag-fox-league","tag-getty-images-inc","tag-gold-coast","tag-gold-coast-titans","tag-karina","tag-kieran-foran","tag-logan","tag-melbourne-storm","tag-michael-maguire","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-new-south-wales","tag-nrl","tag-oceania","tag-off-season-central","tag-personal-development-tour","tag-premiership-winning-coach","tag-queensland","tag-rugby-league-journey","tag-rugby-league-world","tag-rumours-linking","tag-shaun-wane","tag-sports","tag-success-story","tag-sydney","tag-train-and-trial-deal","tag-tweed-heads","tag-world-club-challenge"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287385\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
