The Warriors are interested in signing Brisbane Broncos and Kiwis international Josh Hoffman but not as a fullback.
Hoffman is contracted to the Broncos for 2015 but his future at the club remains uncertain after returning coach Wayne Bennett made it clear Darius Boyd would be his preferred No1, should
he follow him north from the Newcastle Knights.
Hoffman's player agent Paul Hogan confirmed yesterday that the Warriors were one of several NRL clubs making inquiries about the backline utility but with an eye to playing him in the centres.
"The Warriors have expressed some sort of interest but not necessarily as a fullback," Hogan explained.
"More as a centre option probably but there's always that fact that he's interchangeable with fullback and a few other positions. But there's obviously a lot of other clubs in Australia that are looking at him as well."
