Harbrow 50-50, hes important to us but theres the emotional link to brisbane.

I like the honesty, gives us a better indication of what may happen rather than just rumour.

Seriously though why would he stay? Gunna be a shame to lose him...

What was with the reid question? Bit harsh I thought...

50/50 is a very optimistic view. His girlfriend & family is in Brisbane, he'll be on a lot more money, and -- just guessing -- I would have thought the lifestyle in Queensland would be more to his taste, hailing from Cairns as he does.

Now you could say "the dogs gave him the opportunity of an AFL career" and you would be right, but who actually chose him? None other than Gold Coasts current recruiting manager who deserves half that credit.

All that adds up to 50/50?

But how much would he value the relationship with the recruiter versus his teammates?

All claytons presence does is make the initial contact from gc a little easier.
