Should offer lower money but compensated by longer term. 5 years. And this will keep the unrestricted free agency at bay for a while.Ian4 said:

I disagree on paying him lower money. Pay him fair value for however the length of contract.

$800k a year long term offer for dusty

Punt Road End. The best place to watch The Tiges.
Dusty will go where he thinks he can win the ultimate, a Premiership. $'s offered at Punt Road might be the best offer but where are Tigers in pecking order to win a premiership. It appears very low in the pecking order so where would he go. I have advocated The Dees for quite along time but maybe he will have a good goose at the Swans. His Dads missus lives there. Quite a few Victorian based high profilers have had a new lease life in the Harbour City. Also Longmire would be pushing for Dusty to join Buddy & Co.
FWIW Mark Stevens is tweeting that the offer will be rejected and he will wait until year end as plannedpervian said:
While I would much prefer that Martin was signed-up early, I am comfortable with him waiting until season's end to make his contract decisions. I just hope RFC and the team are able to handle the pressure of constant media speculation as the season unfolds.
Bullarto , while I agree with you, you just know it's going to be a distraction for the club if the seasons starts bad.
Don't know if the club can handle that , because not only does it become a question about what will Dusty do, but also about the coach!
With Balme there you hope the club can be strong and more importantly that Dusty can absorb what will come his way again. He shows he has strength in character so far .
Hope it doesn't end badly.

He is probably right. But that's the starting point. Deal wont be far off that figure. Might push close to $900K.Sintiger said:
Deal will get done.

Have to assume that the Dusty camp made the Tigers offer public as part of their bidding war to see whether it flushes out a higher bidder.
As for Dusty - who knows what he is thinking - beyond speculating to be honest
