Johnathan Thurston to sign with Bulldogs?

RLW's The Mole is still tipping Thurston to be a Bronco in 2014 on Twitter. Make of that what you will but he usually has some good mail.

I try not to get excited about rumours and shiz, but he is barely ever wrond *Tries to stop homer simpson style salivating*
 
You got to love the so called 'secret' meetings players have.

So who told the Telegraph, was it Thurston to boost his contract worth. (or where that stalking him)
 
If true then either Prince will retire or Wallace will be punted.
 
The way I can see it working is (assuming we get thurston, and assuming I don't have a heart attack from sheer joy at the announcement)

Thurston comes in 2014 - wallace is punted and prince either has a year with thurston or 'retires' - Norman to mature under thurston and form a good combination for a few years, norman the dominant half once thurston retires
 
What are Thurston's motivations for leaving (if this isn't just Sam Ayoub sales puff)? It can't be money, Thurston is the King of Townsville - the club would pay him anything he wanted, like Lockyer at the Broncos. Maybe a shot at a premiership?

His fiancee, Samantha Lynch is from Brisbane (http://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/article/2009/06/30/61261_news.html).

They're getting engaged, settling down... maybe she wants to be close to Mum to have kids...

But for the reported $3M/3 years, fly Mum up every weekend first class.
