As a few posters have been saying;
I don't get the ploy here;
Brisbane was ready for a 2027 deal, that would have let him go r360, or a huge pay packet elsewhere...
He would have already got 1.1-1.2 till then... thats walsh/clearly/ponga/brown level of money... (who are all spine players)
Souths can't be paying him "too much" more...
His whole fam is in Brisbane, he's been with us for 10 years, won the comp etc.
---
I think the only thing that makes sense is:
He really does want a 'change'... in terms of, you won the comp with your childhood club, monkeys off your back, you are 26, you want to 'explore the world' etc.
It seems he was ALWAYS going to do that anyway, it didn't seem like he was heading towards the 'bronco for life' route, that HOPEFULLY Walsh/Carrigan take...
Kinda feels like... you dated your high school sweetheart for 10 years plus, you are 26, the gal wants to now settle down , get married and have kids, but you just feel you want to explore the world before you do that.... that kinda feeling, I reckon , is fair game.
And once you DO get that feeling, you do really need a change.
