When you think of his journey at RFC, the Connors sleep in saga, chopstick gate, the amount of negatives written about him and public defamation, he really has come through it all very well, and RFC has helped in some not so small way.
Great story.
Go Dusty!!!!

Still remember his first ever press conference where he barely said a word and when the media asked him about all his tatts that  over-zealous RFC PR lady stepped in and started abusing and swearing at them....after which all the oppo flogs -especially Melbourne- on BF started mocking him by writing "grrrr"  in any reference to him.....which seemed to suddenly stop not long after the season began.... :shh


Also remember Dermott Brereton saying he wouldn't get much better after his first season and calling him a "waddler"..... :shh

Dermie mentioned those comments on "crunch time" this week. Was fun to listen to.

I couldn't get over how strong his first season was. Immediately was pushing blokes aside left right and centre as a 19 year old.

The only thing he's really upgraded on since then is his gut-running ability. Went from well below par to elite.

Go Dusty! :cheers

we need a Jordan Mcmahon appreciation thread.

I still remember banging my fist into the keybord in vegas when he kicked that after the siren goal.

How wrong i was to bag him for missing that goal. Fair chance we wouldnt have selected martin with pick no 1

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

From memory he was about the strongest potential after Sculley.

Ox (Schwarz) can blame Nield all he wants; but they stuffed up on draft night.
