If true at least we will get to see him play his 300th with the Mighty RFC!!
I'd have thought we might be planning to sign him up for $5-600k for a max of 2 years depending on how his 2024 season goes. Not massive cap space really.
Training this morning, pity the rest are still in holidays
Gibcus back but only walking no running FMD

The bulk of that salary is already accounted for though by the fact contracts are staggered based on what cash they'll have available in any given year. Martins money has already been used on other contracts from 2024 onwards.
Martin goes from $1m to 1.4m in 2024, and that cash will go to Lynch's contract in 2025 where he will go from something like $800k to $1.5m during that time.
Once Lynch's contract ends in 2025, that cash probably goes to Bolton who will go from $500k to $900k for the start of his new 5 year deal and so on.
The only cash freed up from Martin leaving will be what we have reserved to sign him up for after his deal ends, so if we think we'd pay Dusty $5-600k over maybe a couple of years to stay then that is what will be freed up, not $1.4m
Yep thats what im talking about too. If he leaves next year we don't suddenly have $1.4m available in the salary cap.
The same bloke can’t even get his car transported to GC let alone Dusty
I just don't see Dusty leaving Richmond other than to retire. If he is to go to the Suns there will be all this fan fare and he will be under pressure to do a lot more media, something he has been very reluctant to do in the past. Also has to meet all the new players and build relationships there.
If Dusty wants to play on in 2025/26 then he is better signing with Richmond. Not like he needs the money

Dusty will leave at the conclusion of 2024. He will be a 300+ game player and tiger immortal. Nothing will ever sully his reputation.
Reckon he received very good advice to stay at the RFC for 1 more year when considering his options at season's end.

I hope you are correct, but only Dusty knows what Dusty will do.
He has become my all time fave Tiger. A Richmond Immortal.
That’s my view of it. Honestly, I think Dusty would do this just to stick it up the media one more time.
Cant see him leaving TBH, he mum & grandma are in Vic & he's close.
His investement properties etc are all in & around 3121
He aint a fan of the limelight or the meeja & by heading to that *smile* hole he would be expected to be the man
