The impending departure of Addin Fonua-Blake from the Warriors has caused quite a stir in the NRL landscape, with teams scrambling to secure his services.
One player being considered as a potential replacement is the talented Viliame Kikau.
Fonua-Blake's class and skill have caught the attention of both the Wests Tigers and the Bulldogs, with the news sending shockwaves through the league.
Phil Gould even met with Fonua-Blake to discuss a possible move.
The Tigers seem to be the favorites to sign him, thanks to their available salary cap space.
However, the Warriors are actively looking at trade options to find an immediate replacement for Fonua-Blake.
Rumors suggest they have shown interest in Kikau.
Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that Kikau will leave the Bulldogs, as he is only one year into a long-term contract.
The Tigers, on the other hand, could potentially offer Isaiah Papali'i or Stefano Utoikamanu as part of a trade.
However, Utoikamana may be reluctant to move due to personal reasons.
Papali'i, who previously played for the Warriors before joining the Eels and then the Tigers, could be a viable option.
