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.
