The biggest recruit for Richmond since....Tom Lynch
Just hope he doesn’t upset the team balance
He might have to run it by the big bloke with the apple cart
Considering that all our back half stepped up a notch in his absence Tross simply needs to be a good player for us instead of a super star n he'll still fit in nicely rather than carrying or over shadowing the rest. Most importantly, everyone, and I do mean everyone knows that when he retires, we'll hardly miss him onfield n things will just keep rolling along as per normal.Coming back off a serious knee injury at 30 years of age (into an established Premiership backline) won't be easy, even for Alex Rance.
Fingers crossed for our superstar but there's no guarantees he'll get back to the lofty heights we have seen in previous years.
He has relied on extreme athleticism for much of his career. Just hope his forced time out hasn't reduced his physical abilities.
I'm tapering expectations upon his return.

Got a feeling that's the biggest advantage that we have at the moment.maybe he can take on a lesser role now and the team doesn’t suffer from it .
Grimes has elevated himself this year, had to, now is elite. Rance was in his corner all this year helping him out.I had thought the same thing , Grimes has possibly gone past rance now , in terms of being at the peak of his powers ,
And I think that May be perfect timing for rance , maybe he can take on a lesser role now and the team doesn’t suffer from it .
