New Warriors coach Nathan Brown has identified the players he wants to bring to the struggling New Zealand club next season.
Brown has identified Parramatta prop Kane Evans and Wigan’s Oliver Gildart as two prospects to come into the team next season.
Gildart has previously said that he has a desire to play in the NRL and is under contract until 2021, but has a release clause allowing him to leave if a transfer fee is paid.
The Warriors are also in negotiations with Dragons centre Euan Aitken, Bulldogs forward Adam Elliott and Dragons forward Jack de Belin.
Brown confirmed on Saturday that the Warriors were in negotiations with de Belin.
“The club has been talking to Jack de Belin and that’s well-known,” Brown said.
“As far as the rest of the roster goes we’re still going through it. Young players starting to play well need to be looked after and older players, when their time comes, they need to move on,” Brown said.
“Over the next few weeks we’ll get our head around things. There’s a few ideas already but nothing that I’d like to publicly discuss.”

Who cares!
Lol it's like your inputs!
Evans is probably chasing money rather than glory since from my understanding, he mentioned in an interview that he only wanted to play for a couple more years. I believe our offer isn't changing and Warriors have probably offered a higher amount (100K or so). Evans has been really good for the last 12 months but I think Parra want to chase some younger talent.
Brown Shit List?
Brown decides he's going to turn the club culture around at the Warriors by bringing in a grub like DeBelin....yep that'll work
The Warriors are a basket case, a merry-go-round of coaches, players, CEO's, owners, ball boys the lot.
They'll continue to pay overs to get blokes to pack up and leave OZ
