Warrington's Gareth Widdop could make a return to St George Illawarra, according to reports in Australia.

Widdop left the Dragons last season to return to the Wolves but is now being linked with a swap deal that could see Corey Norman replace the Englishman at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Sky Sports spoke to Warrington who said they have had no enquiry from the Dragons, however, they will be speaking to Widdop and his representative in the next couple of days to understand the validity of these reports.
