From a super reliable close source.... he has two years left on
his contract, but Northampton are sniffing about showing a keen
interest.

I'm sure this is true but don't you think that in the current
rugby world of big money and agents this is likely to be the
case for most half decent players? There will always be someone,
somewhere prepared to offer a player more money. They are like
head hunters in the business world - its just up to the player
to weigh up the pros and cons and decide if their rugby pitch
really is really greener! Likewise Quins need to decide if a
player is really worth keeping once their head has been turned
by the new employer.

Money is the only obvious incentive.
Sinckler is our first choice tighthead and is used in a way that
brings the best out of him, which in turn puts him in the frame
to start for England. There are no valid ‘on-pitch’ reasons for
him to leave and I’ve never got the impression that money is his
main motivation.
I feel the same about Clifford, but I’m less concerned given the
alternatives we have in the squad and the relative availability
of good back rowers vs. Almost 0 tightheads with Sinckler’s all
round skill set.

I suspect that you and I have the same "super reliable" source.
Assuming that we have the same source, (and I might have this
completely wrong, of course!), I'm supposing that you're finding
all of this speculation over him potentially moving for money
fascinating too, given that he's on a fairly eye-watering amount
here at Quins already.

If he has 2 years left on his contract, then Saints (if it is
they) would need to buy out that part of the contract, which is
a very unusual occurrence in Rugby circles still. As things
stand, he knows he's first choice with us, is 1st/2nd pick for
England, and is possibly in the frame for inclusion in the next
Lions tour too.
Any move now would shake all of these factors up. He may not be
guaranteed to start at a new club. He would have to remain in
England to ensure he remains qualified for International duty
and hence Lions duty, and can other clubs really offer him a
vastly improved salary within the cap (I believe he couldn't
qualify as a Marquee Player under the rules)?

Adam Jones is surely the key I can't see him going as long as he
has jonesy as a mentor

You can't be a marquee player if you move from one club to
another. If a club has to buy out someone's contract, then that
comes out of their salary cap. So buying Sinckler right now
would cost them the price of three major players. I can't see
that happening.
Yes, I was going to say (thank you stoquin) he has a very tight
relationship with Adam Jones. Another reason he's unlikely to
move on.

Yeah, the more I think about this, the more it feels like a
non-story. The only thing worrying me is arniepie saying there
might be something in it.

Well also, as we know with Gustard (don't....), a club
approaching someone is not the same as them wanting to leave.

Well I for one do not believe a word of it.
