Richo is nothing short of a champion. Anyone who thinks that his dummy spits and the fact that he kicks a lot of points is the reason he is holding him back, have a little bit of a think about why he cracks a wobbly at his team mates.
He can lead for a pass from a team mate for about 20m before any of them realise and kick the ball to him, if they do that at all. He's always on top of his defender and is most often double teamed. Yet he still manages to take screamers over the top of his opponents every game. And look at his age!
What about the stuff he does when he's not kicking goals? He's often outside the forward 50, leading up the ground creating opportunities for other team members. When he delivers the ball to the forward 50, its almost always on the mark.
Richo is the heart and soul of the club, and of the team. If Kane Johnson held half the sway with the players that Richo did, he might be a half decent captain. Richo's team mates love him, so obviously the dummy spits cant be too disheartening!
That said, GO TIGERS! And GO RICHO for 2008!
