If he does leave I think he would play with someone he knows could be Moses or woods.
I just don't believe this is real consideration... You get 12 -15 years at best to make your money and win a comp... U can hang out with ur mates after training and games...
Plus with rep footy and all, they are mates with people from several other clubs...
The I wanna play with my mates line is the equivalent of i want to move to Brisbane to be with my family fluff...
If I was offered a great job with extra 20% income my real mates would say "go, go now, its ur shout when we catch up brother"
