PUNT ROAD END | Richmond Tigers Forum
I was a fan of Aaron Fiora and Dave Rodan but I'm still surprised how well they've done at other clubs compared to how they were going at Richmond. I thought Fiora was really good last night driving the ball forward.
Aaron has matured but he wasn't looking like being a real influence in a game on a regular basis at Tigerland. With Dave the change was instant, he didn't look like getting around 20 possessions each week with us but he's right at home at Port. A very consistent player.
Just makes me wonder why the change of scenery can result in more valuable players who contribute each week. Aren't they happy at Richmond, do other coaches see things ours don't, do they realise they've been given a lifeline and decide to pull their finger out, do we not have the patience and faith to give them extra time?
I haven't seen much of the Saints this year. How is Rix going? Would he have been of value to us this year with our depleted ruck stocks?
We have a few players now who aren't getting much of a go, Danny and Brent come to mind, but I wonder if they're picked up by another club if they'll develop and show the reason we selected them in the first place but preferably I hope we can do that ourselves.
In a way it makes me wish trade week was utilised more so fringe players had the chance of a change of circumstances and possible improvement.
