The Warriors have reportedly offered Dragons' star Trent Merrin an impressive offer to head across to Auckland.

Trent Merrin in action for New South Wales in State of Origin

The Daily Telegraph is reporting that the St George Illawarra prop is considering a rich deal with the New Zealand club after turning down the biggest offer in Dragons history last month.

The 25-year-old is said to have rejected an offer worth $1.73 million over three years.

Merrin has been one of New South Wales leading forwards in their recent State of Origin campaigns, including last year's breakthrough series victory.

Merrin's manager Wayne Beavis was seen meeting with Warriors coach Andrew McFadden this week but wouldn't confirm that Merrin was their topic of discussion.

Beavis is hoping to have his clients future secured before March, and is said to be meeting with the Dragons today.

Merrin's relationship with world champion Australian surfer Sally Fitzgibbons could also come into play with the surf star based in New South Wales when not on tour.
