He seems to give the impression he is naturally a bit shy, seems to have gained confidence and I thought he was very good as captain. Good sign that the atmosphere at the club suits him. Another great performance too. And, we have a fair few more years of Dusty to look forward to. Would be great if he can be one of the leadership group, I reckon he would have a lot to offer.

Another good performance against the Saints and one of the things I think already show with Dustin's leadership is his ability to bring others into the game. For such a top player he is incredibly selfless. I know there was a bit of discussion about kicking efficiency on the weekend and while some of it is warranted I was interested to hear what Phil Davis said during the last quarter after the kick to Chol who then passed to Stack for a set shot........( it may not be exactly word for word but it's close and yes I was procrastinating but really that 4th quarter is worth rewatching
)
Phil Davis - 'The thing for me today is with Dusty his kicking efficiency .. yeah is low but a lot of it is under pressure and duress and surging it forward while that precision kick then to Chol sets up this goal. He breaks the whole game open just by his ball use and he's done that multiple, multiple times today.'
After the goal and as part of the replay they show the kick from Martin to Chol and Davis adds ' It's just what I think separates him from you know in terms of through the middle of the ground, he's got penetration, he takes on a lot & sometimes he turns it over ......you know a brave player to go through there but also the ability to execute with such speed because anytime you go through the corridor that's a long kick the flight time is usually what kills you but he gets there faster than almost anybody else.'
