SAM KASIANO’S exit from the Warrington Wolves was confirmed on Tuesday.
The 33-year-old spent just one season at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, registering 24 appearances, but failed to have the hoped-for impact.
Here are three clubs who could potentially make a move for him.
Salford Red Devils
Salford still have one quota spot available following the exit of winger Ken Sio – and bringing in an experienced forward such as Kasiano would undoubtedly bolster what is looking a potentially lightweight pack. The 33-year-old would bring competition for places in the front row and would add another dimension to a Salford side that has been cut of big names such as Tyler Dupree, Brodie Croft and Andy Ackers in recent months.
Catalans Dragons
It’s where Kasiano made his name and it’s where the 33-year-old could potentially end his career. Catalans would need to sort out the situation with Siua Taukeiaho, who is occupying the last quota spot at the Stade Gilbert Brutus but who has consistently been linked with a move away. Kasiano made 83 appearances for the Dragons during a four-year spell so it would be like ‘going home’ for the towering prop.
Wakefield Trinity
New Wakefield head coach Daryl Powell brought Kasiano to Warrington a year ago and may wish to reunite with the forward. The spending power of new Trinity owner Matt Ellis has not been hidden and attracting Kasiano to a second-tier club would be a mighty statement. It’s fair to say that the 33-year-old, with his vast NRL and international experience, could rip it up in the Championship.
