The NRLs complex investigation into Kieran Foran could continue into next year, with the games governing body a long way from clearing a path for the superstar playmakers return to rugby league.CEO Todd Greenberg said the NRL integrity units investigation into Foran is likely to be a protracted one similar to that which looked into Parramattas salary cap woes.Fairfax Media is reporting Forans contract has a clause in it which requires Foran to be cleared by the integrity unit by December.Greenberg said he would like to see Foran return to the NRL, but didnt know when or if that might happen.I am like most fans - I want to see him back playing footy in the NRL. But it is only a few months ago he walked out of the game for personal reasons, Greenberg told AAP on Monday.So we need to be very careful in assessing how we get him back in into the game and our integrity unit will go through that processI dont put a time frame on it and I wont put a time frame on it.But they will deal with him and they will deal with the Warriors and then we will make some decisions on when he comes back.Forans relationship with controversial gambling figure Eddie Hayson is of major concern to the NRL.That is something else for the integrity unit, Greenberg said.We have been very constant with this throughout the last few years.The integrity unit will deal with things in the fullness of time.They will do it without a running commentary and they will do it without a time frame. When they have finished that we will make a decision.We showed that with Parramatta. People wanted us to speed it up and make some decisions.At the end of the day we did a lot of work and we landed on outcomes when we had all the information in front of us.Dealing with Kieran Foran will be exactly the same.Greg Bird was due to meet with the integrity unit on Monday in regard to his latest alleged off field incident at a northern NSW pub.I have no update on that, Greenberg said.

The world No 5 suffered another setback at the weekend, losing 6-4 4-6 7-6 (7-4) to Dominic Thiem in the semi-finals of the Argentina Open.This latest loss for Nadal, which came on his favourite clay surface, was greeted with genuine concern by Sky Sports expert Cowan. Nadal will switch his attention to the Rio Open, starting tonight live on Sky Sports 3, and Cowan believes the 29-year-old is now preparing for a massive week as he tries to rediscover his Grand Slam winning form.He told Sky Sports News HQ: When you lose in the manner that Rafa lost a few days ago, lost his nerve at important stages, which was something which was happening with regularity in the beginning of last year. A massive week for Nadal and I almost go to say: I think hes got to win this week, I really do. Barry Cowan But crucially he lost to someone in Dominic Thiem who is going to be a very good player, who is young, who doesnt have the same mental baggage as a lot of players who are currently on tour and have lost to Nadal, three, four times.A massive week for Nadal and I almost go to say: I think hes got to win this week, I really do.I think it will really be a blow to his confidence and self-belief going forward if he has a poor week. Its five massive matches for him. Dominic Thiem will target another title in Rio after winning the Argentina Open Nadal must negotiate a tough field, which includes his conquerer Thiem, world No 9 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and clay court specialists David Ferrer and Fabio Fognini.ddddddddddddCowan said: Well they are all good players, but if you go back to what Nadal has done on clay. Heres a guy who is the best clay court player we have ever seen. Has won nine French Opens, who used to take the rest of the field to the cleaners.Normally Nadal at his best, you say: Well those players arent going to trouble him. But now you go yes, and I felt that against Thiem last week. Tie-break in the third, Im not so sure hes going to handle the pressure. Sky Live: Rio Open Rafael Nadal returns to Sky Sports as the top seed at the Rio Open He starts off with a double fault and if Im thinking it, Nadal for sure is thinking it and as soon as any top tennis player has doubts - and Rafa has got doubts at the moment - you dont play your best tennis.
