Maybe I'm reading too much into it - body language didn't look great yesterday.

I'm about 60-40 yes-no.

Don't mind if he goes. I owe him so much of my happiness from the last 5 years.

Hopefully we can offload most of his $$$ in the deal and use the cash to bring in a couple of other guys (I hear he's on $1.3kk the last two years?).

That's enough money to give Bolton a raise, bring in another star AND send some to Lynch for his contract too.

If he goes and that’s a big if in my opinion, which ever club wants him absolutely has to pay his full wage. We owe dusty a lot but to expect us to pay him to play for another club is a bit ridiculous imo. They’d have to give us way overs in a trade to contemplate that.

Throughout my life ..when a player finishes at the one club irrespective if they are Richmond or not..my estimation of them as an individual increases
I would love Dusty to finish at Punt road as i would jack and trent and Titch and all of those champions.
will he or wont he ,i have no idea,but ill go with WP on this he seems on the money on many things.
Im sure Houli feels better having finished his wonderful career at the place where all the glory was achieved.

Who cares? I wish him the best whatever he decides.

He has to maximise his earning potential via salary and endorsements

Have thoroughly enjoyed watching him play for us, and to be honest a lot of clubs would have kicked him out due to his off field antics in his younger years.

RFC persevered with him and he has repayed RFC 100 times over.

A perfect symbiotic relationship.

Moving forward both parties could benefit if he moves on…..

If he keeps playing like last night with the bad attitude and average body language whilst on $1.3 million a year then I'd be happy to drive him to the airport myself.

Agree not his best output. Didn’t chase the ball carrier on several occasions which is unacceptable from any player.  His disposal was also below par. Quite a poor performance from him.
