The rugby league news cycle simply never ends.

Although the first week of the finals will, rightly, dominate the airwaves, another NRL star of considerable profile is now looking for another club.

The Bulldogs made the difficult, yet correct decision to sever ties with Adam Elliott after an off-field indiscrestion.

Although Elliott's incidents were on the lower end of the atrocity scale, they seem to have added up to a point where the Dogs can no longer prioritise his undoubted talent.

What is also undoubted is that he will be lining up for a new club next season. At only 26, he's about to hit his peak.

We look at the five most likely destinations for the troubled, yet extremely talented Adam Elliott.

2. New Zealand Warriors

The Warriors have a big and imposing pack. Their starting props are legitimately monsters.

They do struggle once Addin Fonua-Blake and Matt Lodge take their breaks. This is where Elliott would fit in and add real value.

Whether he'd be interested in taking a step back and becoming a bench player is up for debate. He may be forced into it ultimately.

Elliott is a middle forward for mine. I've always thought he was better when he was head down and busting tackles up the middle.

A move across the Tasman would provide a huge change in environment. The fact the Warriors are likely going to be based in Australia again in 2022 provides an easier transition.

I'm not sure the salary cap space is there to sign Elliott but he's also going to have to be realistic about what teams will be willing to invest.
