Considering that all our A graders are over 26 & in their prime we must do everything we can to re-sign Dusty. As our window of opportunity for 
is within the next 2 years
Cant let our true A grade :star in Dusty go just to bring in 2 draftees and hope they can develop quickly and replace him

I always thought the more games we won this year the harder it would be for him to leave as the club and coach remain stable and we can counter the "need to move for success" arguments
The good thing is that it is almost as if Dusty's form itself is making it harder for him to leave. I reckon he still wants to be a tiger - no inside word - just a hunch

from an outsiders POV, i see Dustys situation same as Fyffe, a lot of hot air but will stay where he is. Im sure tiges offer wont be that dis similar to whatever some other club offers. Just dont think he will leave. Hope he stays with you guys.
Since Feb, we've become a young top 4 team (up success), upped our offer (up $$$), and the CBA has increased by more than expected (up %). Still hasn't signed.
Wake up everyone.
I was sure he was gone in Feb based on the words used by coaches and players in interviews, but had hoped our change in fortunes would change his mind. Maybe it still will, but as it stands, be prepared for the worst.
Could be a hollow Brownlow victory in 2.5 months.

Well put.
Just listening to little snippets, he loves the group he is playing with. (Eg luv always playing alongside Rancey). Going back to the main reason is his desire to set himself up for life after football. All footballers only get limited time to earn as much as they can. For RFC to think they are going to get a bargain in resigning him will be totally foolish. To even offer under 1 mill imo will push him away immediately. RFC have to be very careful in how they approach this. Keep out of the media. No comment at all.
RFC have finally got some serious talent to have a crack at a flag. Yes we have holes in the structure but its an open season.
The club has not been in a position like this since 1995, and to a lesser extent 2001. I do believe this year it will come down which ever team has the momentum at the tail end of the year(obviously but mean like what the Dogs did). A few teams have had spurts then dropped off.
Anyone ever see the ping pong match between Dusty vs Cotch. (was on facebook I think) they have a bond. Laughed at the end of the match that Cotch wins, who then pretends to get a contract out and tease him sign here, you lost. funny as, meanwhile Dusty shows how much he hates losing. lol
Dusty looks like a dusty doll in that, Cotch looks hugeBaloo said:For anyone in doubt but Martin's love for the team and club, check this out. Pure joy.
He also shreeked with pure joy when the siren went. Is enjoying his days at RFC right now. Can't see why he would leave unless the gap between our offer and the best is huge. We can always match anyway!

The Cotchin article, the constant Instagram pictures of Dusty with Cotch’s kids, the little Insta story yesterday about how Dusty picks Coach up and gives him a left to the airport for all interstate travel and Brooke packs lunch for both of them it’s genuine. I’ve flipped three times this year but now I’m convinced he stays.
