That still hasn\u2019t happened,\u201d AFL Media\u2019s Callum Twomey said on <\/a>Gettable<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cHis manager, Robbie D\u2019Orazio, was on the Gold Coast this week having further discussions with King.<\/p>\n \u201cKing has kept his cards very, very close to his chest. He could turn around at any point and sign this two-plus six-year deal and just get it done, but that hasn\u2019t happened yet and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to happen just yet.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I narrow it, I think it could be down to Hawthorn, if he leaves now.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Geelong has interest there, it\u2019s real. But if he comes back, I think Melbourne is the city he wants to be in and the destination.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m watching that one with interest. if I was making a bet on it, I\u2019d still have Ben King at the Suns. But not quite as close as we maybe thought.\u201d<\/p>\n Bec Daniher reflects on Neale’s impact | 02:00<\/p>\n Seven\u2019s Tom Morris is also watching with intrigue, but thinks Collingwood can be a ruled out as a suitor <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m just going to downgrade this from supremely confident to the Gold Coast being favourites to keep him,\u201d Morris said on Agenda Setters.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019s going to Collingwood, but he hasn\u2019t made up his mind yet, and we\u2019re now into early June.<\/p>\n \u201cAll the expectation from everyone around him is he stays at the Suns, but it\u2019s not done yet and he hasn\u2019t truly made up his mind. He\u2019s still talking with his partner about where he wants to play next year.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a big watch, it would be a huge shock (if he left Gold Coast), but it\u2019s not out of the question.\u201d<\/p>\n KINGSLEY ON GREENE\u2019S FUTURE<\/p>\n Giants coach Adam Kingsley admits he doesn\u2019t know whether star skipper Toby Greene will stay at the club.<\/p>\n But if Greene were to leave to return to Victoria, Kingsley hopes Greene would take a leaf out of the NRL\u2019s book and declare it \u201cearlier rather than later.\u201d<\/p>\n The 32-year old unrestricted free agent is considering moving back to his home state at season\u2019s end, with the likes of Geelong and Hawthorn seen as possible landing spots for Greene to finish his career at. <\/p>\n Barrass likely to return for Dogs clash | 00:56<\/p>\n With Greene set to think through his options over the Giants\u2019 mid-season bye, Kingsley said he thinks Greene would \u201cprobably\u201d tell him if the skipper did decide to leave the club. <\/p>\n \u201cIt won\u2019t impact the way I communicate to Toby, it won\u2019t impact the way he plays, he\u2019s a full pro,\u201d Kingsley said on Seven\u2019s <\/a>Agenda Setters<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s what they do in the NRL up here, we do find it a little bit strange. But they seem to find a way and still move on and perform. <\/p>\n \u201cSo, I would expect Toby would certainly let us know earlier, rather than later. <\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re very hopeful that he stays. He\u2019s obviously a critically important player to us and our captain and a foundation member and really set the culture as to how it sits right now. <\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019d like to see him continue that.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked if he thinks Greene will stay, Kingsley responded: \u201cWell, I don\u2019t really know. <\/p>\n \u201cI think he\u2019ll stay based on his actions and the way that he carries himself around the club. But, who knows?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s still a \u201cwatch\u201d on Gold Coast\u2019s star spearhead.
