Dwayne Russell said on 5aa that he caught up with Patty a few weeks ago and had a private chat, said he is very enthusiastic about the club and thinks he will stay. He didn't mention this on 5aa but late last year he caught up with him as well and said his gut feeling was that he is going home. So Patty is closer to staying than he was at the end of the season last year.
Dwayne lives not far from Moggs Creek and catches up with Patty for a coffee when ever he is in town.
