Someone who fancies an extra £10,000 or an extra year on their deal? Leeds are a bigger club than Warrington, with a bigger history etc. I doubt NRL players coming over particularly look at the ladder, they aren't as obsessed with trophies and success as we are over here. Otherwise, why would the like of Luke Patten sign for Salford or why would anyone join Bradford Bulls?
I'm not suggesting he is joining Leeds, but he/his agent might be using it to wring the best possible deal out of Warrington?
I wouldn't say Leeds have a higher profile than Warrington in Australia. After all the Australians take more note of the Challenge Cup then the Super League and both Langer and Johns have played for us.
Much as it pains me to say it, Wigan have far and away the biggest reputation worldwide.
And with regard to money, they are working to the same salary cap as we are.
