I'd snap him up ASAP, and worry about the details later. He's just the thing they need.
Reds people, what the hell is actually happening up there? People are talking about culture issues, but what does that actually mean?
Tired of losing? Bad morale? Poor leadership? Anger about the treatment of QC (Quade Cooper)/KH/JS?

1. Years of incompetent, insular and self-deluding board leadership at QRU top level
2. This manifesting itself in many destructive ways, but principally in years of extremely poor HC and AC appointment-making whilst simultaneously preserving executive survivors in key positions that hold no respect and whom have delivered poor results (eg Cordingley in recruitment)
3. A key consequence is no proper CEO and board-level rugby capacity in oversighting the Reds coaching and player development systems
4. Despite the obviousness of the above since c. 2012 and the fact that it is the QRU's primary funder, the ARU/RU has sat idly by and watched this systemic debacle unfold as though impotent and incapable of intervening
Bad has led to worse; worse has year-by-year deteriorated to potentially catastrophic (see Reds' crowd numbers at never-before lows).
Thorn's reported 'cultural change' is mythical - with players like Kerevi and Perese wanting to leave, plus much else, the evidence is clear.
Other than that, things are pretty good really.
