The Storm should know within the next few days if they can snare Kiwi international centre Solomone Kata from the Warriors.

The 24-year-old Kata has denied speculation about a move to Melbourne - but Wide World of Sports has learned the two clubs are talking about a possible transfer.

The Storm are short of outside backs and see the powerhouse Kata as a possible solution to their problems.

Warriors coach Stephen Kearney has gone off Kata, dropping him to the Canterbury Cup after a poor start to the season.

As a result, the Warriors may be prepared to ‘play ball’ with the Storm over the star centre.

Kata is denying speculation he may move, however.

"Nah. I've still got another year on my contract at the Warriors," Kata told nswrl.com.au.

"I saw something on the media about that, but I haven't talked to anyone. Right now I'm just working on my performance to get back up into the top side.”
