Good way to get his signature - offer to tattoo his next contract on his leg. He'd jump at that, sign a contract for life.
Nice one! Seriously I couldn't care what tatts he has, or gets in the future, as long as he continues to develop at the rapid rate as he is at the moment. The only ink I'm interested in is his signature on a longterm contract extension. Go Tigers!

Geez who would have thought my kiwi-ality would come into play here. I believe that Dusty has the following words on his neck "matai whetu ngati maru" which means that he's a man of the Ngati Maru tribe of the central North Island of NZ.
Well there you go. Never thought I'd be called on for that!
Good on you Dusty.
Haere Ra!

Send our recruiters down to the Ngati Maru tribe region in NZ ASAP and see how many of them can kick and sign them up. Harder than steele.

Just heard Dimma in his Presser give Dusty the thumbs up with the tats. Said "he is free to express himself and is obviously close to his Dad so good on him."

Went on to say it "wouldnt suit my neck, ill give you the tip" Haha

Love the Dimma, and that kind of comment would show the players would as well :thumbsu:

I'd have to agree, & as along as he keeps playing a top brand of football, then he won't attact more unneccessary attention to himself

Probably should have got it on the inside of the arm.

Personally, I don't like it at all, but its his life.
Maoris traditionally get tribal tattoos on their face which is why he and his old man have it on their neck.

Absolutely correct. When you walk the CBD of Auckland at lunchtime, you note some interesting facial art which makes you look twice initially. Must say most don't have words but imprint koru art type prints similar to Sonny Bill William's arm.

Anyways, looking forward to being at the G Sunday.

Spent most of the time complaining about Martin tattoo.

What happened to in depth analysis of the game?

And then Parko, who has the most credible opinion on that show, said, "Martin I reckon is a champion player". Correct weight, and all that matters. Great comment from Dimma too and pretty much the way I feel. Who cares what's on his neck, he and Cotch are going to shred teams for a decade or more.
