The Warriors forwards have been under the pump this season and the club is currently in the market to bolster the pack, with Kiwis captain Adam Blair the No 1 target.
After a slow start to the season due to injury, Matulino has regained some of his best form and, with 211 games under his belt, the 23-test Kiwi will not be easy to replace.
But as Matulino prepares to play his final match for the Warriors on Sunday against the team he is joining, Wests Tigers, Lisone said it is up to the players already in the squad to lift their game.
