According to Forty20 Leeds are sniffing around Currie now. Wonder who’s next to be linked? Bit of a merry go round isn’t it...

Warrington, who know most about his long-term fitness outlook, are only willing to keep him on a reduced contract and unwilling to negotiate. He would rather go to Wigan, but is using Saints as a way to leverage a higher contract from them. If he doesn't get what he wants from Wire or Wigan, Saints are his fallback.

Saints are that 6/10 that you keep on the go on tinder in case the other two you're dating find out about each other.

Naughty, naughty SC, you should know better and ought to be social distancing, not dating multiple partners at the same time.

You don’t seriously think Warrington are a more attractive club to sign for than Saints, do you?

Warrington on reduced wages can still out strip the larger offers of others. Wire have a far greater chance of reaching finals and the player gets fat bonuses from that, topping up his contract.

I'm sorry RD but, even by your own standards, that is complete and utter b****cks.

Last year we put one over on Saints by beating them at Wembley but Saints got to both major finals, winning the Grand Final, and claiming the League Leaders Shield along the way.

What we can say is that Warrington are now one of the big clubs. We have ambition, we have appeared in both the Challenge Cup and Grand Finals in recent years and we have training facilities which are up there with the very best. From all accounts our player welfare side of the club is also excellent.

Currie is no different to any other employee in an organisation. He may choose to move to another employer for various reasons such as better pay, better promotion prospects (in the case of a RL player substitute that for silverwear), better working conditions etc. He may also want to leave for 'negative' reasons i.e. he doesn't like his boss or the way things are run. Sometimes people just need a change.

If he hasn't fallen out of love with us then we should be a good position to retain him - if we choose to. He's 26 next month, if he hadn't had his injury problems then this contract would have been the biggest of his career. From all accounts we offered him less money, maybe somebody else is willing to take more of a chance.

So posters are denying a player gets a fat bonuses for making finals?

James Graham has asked for an immediate release to join a Super League side. Eek. If it's Saints it's got the Rooney to Everton vibe about it. Still a legend but way past his best. If it's not Saints, it's a big shocker. The fiery redhead in a Wire shirt till the end of the season perhaps?

Definitely Saints, makes zero sense for Wire to sign Graham when they have Hill and Cooper who are both in their thirties. Interesting signing for Saints, past his best clearly but I wonder if he’ll have enough in the tank to go well for them. Can count on one hand the number of good props in SL at the moment so he’ll probably still churn out 100+ metres a game.
