Just a quick post to say well done to Richo winning the B&F at the Tigers just pipped Foley by one vote 214 to Foley 213 good result for a good bloke i reckon.
Oldest ever player at the Tigers to win a B&F
Not about the Saints i know but i'm sick of all our bullshyte ayway at the minute.
A real character on the field and a great guy off it.
Would have loved him to be a Saint - can you imagine a forward line with him and Buckets and then him, G-Train and Milney? What entertainment it may have been!
Overly maligned as he wears his heart on his sleeve.
I often watch Richo closely when we play the Tiges and his work rate is great. he keeps leading and presenting and has played in a Tigers team that butchers the ball for seasons.
Great player and a well desereved B&F.
Proudly assuming the title of forum Oracle and serving as the inaugural Saintsational ‘weak as piss brigade’ President.
As a footballer, he suffers from the same strengths and weaknesses as our Nick R: always presenting, taking difficult grabs, working hard for the team, but would be far more effective if he could get his goal-kicking accuracy up to a reasonable level.
Still I'd far rather watch a Richo go around any day than any number of the robot-like athletes who are coming to dominate the game.

A real character. Love watching the likes of him and Fraser playing at FF.
Not enough of them about nowdays.
The thing that notes Richo for me was the pre-season game v the Saints 2004.
I was giving it to Rich all afternoon as we thumped them. Suddenly Richo takes an absolute screamer in the goal square 10 metres out. All the Richmond fans turned around and gave it to me.
All i said was "He has to kick it first". Suffice to say Richo slammed it into the post from 10 metres out, the Saints ran it down the other end and scored a goal.
All I could do was laugh, and all the Tigers supporters could do was sit there eyes front
I just love Richo
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)
