Just thought I'd bring this up. Not that I'm serious about Richo as an issue.
But i am serious about an issue aside from this.
No-one doubts Richo's contribution to the RFC and, although he is flawed, he makes a more than significant contribution to the team.
I might suggest that three of the reasons he has been able to do so.
1. His natural talent.
2. His mobility.
3. His height.
My argument is, if Richo does make such an enormous contribution to our team, and is still doing so at 32yo, why the hell aren't we out there recruiting another 2 or 3 like him.
Yes, we have Patto, who has been useful in the ruck, this year, and can play as a forward target.
How about another to play at CHB, etc.
If you value Richo, ask the question,
What are we doing to replace him?
