It's too late Jimmy
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Dusty deal is done "in principle".
Some fine details will be worked out.

Bookmark it.  ;D

I hope this is true, because I am starting to feel pessimistic about Dusty going to North.

They are tanking like crazy and could well finish bottom. Certainly bottom two I think.

If Dusty accepts their deal and we match it, he doesn't have to take it. He can decide to walk into the preseason draft, where the Kangaroos will lie in wait.

As a minimum, I think Dusty is going to cost us whatever North are offering him.

We are over a barrel here if Dusty and his Manager decide to play it that way.

Slipper, just remember that the 20% increase in the eba starts THIS season. We can use this years cap tha will effectively top up the future deal.
Other clubs can't do that. #whiphand

I was unaware of that HRT.

I just hope then that the only sticking point is money.
