After umpteen years of never knowing what to expect from the one and only "Richo" are we now seeing a mature, relaxed "elder statesman" finally enjoying his footy? Is it also no coincidence that we are starting to win games even when he does not kick a bagfull?
Against the Cats it was obvious early on that the big fella had left his kicking boots at home. They were spraying all over the shop and the crowd was really giving it to him. In past seasons this would have almost certainly guaranteed it becoming a dirty day for the Tiges. Richo would have turned on the dummy spits, sulks etc. and started blaming his team mates. The rest of the side would then have gone into its shell and we would have copped a massive hiding.
Full marks to Wallace and co. for turning it all around at Tigerland. Full marks to big Richo for smiling, turning the other cheek and getting on with the game...... doing the hard things like chasing, tackling, harassing and other second effort things.
How ironic was it that he ended up kicking his only goal as the match sealer, then smiling like a prize canary in the Cat Colosseum. Made it a very sweet victory indeed. Also the embrace with Tambo, who set up the goal, was priceless.
