Wigan Warriors are reportedly in the market for an NRL forward.
It follows the news that Canterbury Bulldogs are looking to offload two of their out of contract stars, with both Matt Dufty and Paul Vaughan being linked with Super League moves.
Dufty, according to Rugby League Live, was linked last week with a move to Warrington Wolves.
And, veteran rugby league reporter Brent Read, has furthered that speculation.
“Matt Dufty is on the radar of Warrington,” Read said on Triple M.
“They have had a couple of chats with him. I spoke to his manager Clint Schifcofske this morning. There is a good chance he will be in the Super League next year. He hasn’t got an offer on the table from the Dogs.
“I think Clint thinks it will be a good move, he will thrive over there. They have had a couple of conversations so I think it will move pretty quickly.”
Paul Vaughan, meanwhile, has been linked with a move to Wigan Warriors.
“Paul Vaughan is another guy who doesn’t have a contract at the end of this year. Again, he doesn’t have a place to go in the NRL and Wigan is looking at him so he may be in the Super League next year alongside Matt Dufty. A bloke playing good football and he’d thrive over there.”
