Newcastle's woes are set to continue with fiery back-rower Mitch Barnett close to joining the Warriors for next season.The news comes just a day after talks between the club and match-winning fullback Kalyn Ponga reportedly broke down - a report the club strongly denies - and the Knights lost their fourth straight game, succumbing to the Dragons in Wollongong.Barnett is currently serving a six-match ban for a vicious off-the-ball hit on Penrith forward Chris Smith.But the blonde-haired back-rower is one of the Knights' most experienced forwards with over 100 games for the club to his name.He is believed to be unhappy at the Knights and keen for a change of scenery after seven seasons in Newcastle.The Warriors are keen for more battle hardened forwards and the 28-year-old fits the bill.
