No I mean Martin's camp has publicly announced that he'll make the decision before the finals. Stands to reason that they'll announce it then too. Otherwise why make that statement publicly now with the media attention it'll invite.
Drive up prices.
Basically if he stays he's gonna take all he can get from you.

All good bro. I just share what I hear that I think has merit. I dont give a shit if it comes off or not, as I cant control that but there is no way will i be bullied off this forum sharing what I hear because of a few tools.

It's just unfortunate Im the only one left from those I rate who i know that have mail but wont share publicly due to said tools.
Sorry bro for being a tool :(

It defies logic that he hasn't made a decision yet, but his manager knows that he will have a decision in 4 weeks.

He has already made his decision. If he was staying, he would announce it.

Even as a non-Tigers fan I think it would be a shame if he left Tigerland, I hope he stays.
Would he? Higher offers will come the longer he holds out.

Don't be an idiot. You clearly know nothing.

Doubt he will announce anything tbh.
Make decision behind closed door perhaps.
Will most likely make an announcement after the final game Richmond play this year.
It just makes more sense.
He is staying a tiger, it's best you and your cronies on the norf board start dealing with it.

Like i said a month ago, he will sign before finals ( even though all the media were pushing the end of season barrow). From those I trust, told me the time line but not the reason in full. Putting the strings together I believe we have assisted carr in building his player stable as the free press he has got from this has been priceless, got to understand Bolton joined Carr this year as well.

Dusty is loyal, loves the club but also Carr so in my opinion only, was more then happy to allow Carr to benefit and the club was OK with it as we know 100% Dusty wont go anywhere. Hence the before finals re signing will further boost the club at the perfect time leading into finals as a way to create a win/win. I was told most of this in April, and everything I have heard has been proven right.

I have zero doubt Dusty will be signing as a tiger for the next 6 years on a fair price, just with a discount compared to what he would deserve elsewhere.
The only thing I don't get is a few months back Brendan Gale said a few months back that the club would like to know very soon what Dusties intention are but then that went dead so either dusty told the club what you are saying or he just stopped giving a shot.

I'm thinking that gale was put at ease what do you think tig.

Actually no. It has been funny reading posts from blokes on your board " in the know" that are going to cop some serious humble pie. Also, poor form quoting my post on your board mate with me still tagged in it, I am not interested in proving what I believe to be true to the 14 active norf posters, its boring lol

I just think Gale was just feeding the masses to be honest.

lol nope. Unfortunately I am not a physio hehe
Just one last thing.
You mentioned you knew this info way back in April.
And the club knew he was staying.
Why didn't he sign then when Richmond had that trot of close losses to solidify the playing group?

Otherwise the whole thing was a PR stunt?
How does Richmond benefit from this?
