At the time he said he doesn't want to play at any level and had given away all his boots, so it's a surprising U-turn, but good on him.
I’m guessing Ridenton was involved. Gets a few mths in the QLD winter sun, and a top chance to finally win a championship. Lions are top of the log
Think he is studying a property development course (or similar) at Uni of QLD, and idea was always to head over there this year to finish it. Now he just takes his boots with him
