I REALLY miss Pat Richards . . . .

After watching the Irish have a dig in the world cup, I got an uneasy feeling about seeing Pat Richards once again playing in yet another set of colours.
To once again see his rampaging runs, his hydraulic fends, his determination and strength was a beautiful thing.
And to top it off are the trademark line drop-outs ! . He did a poor one the other night that hit 60m on the full.
And best of all ?? . . he puts in . Simple as that. He has a go, and can see the value in running straight at the effin line, not have to get there via the far touchie.
I know he had to go . . for whatever reason it was . . . . but, God I miss him ! . :(

he could easily outplay every single f**king Souths player, even if he had two broken legs, no arms and was clinically brain dead.

However, he is not needed here, so get over it.

Are you still upset because your tigers didnt make the finals in 07 and we did. You must be still upset that we double your premiership tally, we didnt merge into a screwed up identity played at over three grounds and who could forget leichhardt last year was it 37-12 nub. I simply made the comment that he would break into the side, I never asked for any sarcasm and dumb wit by your half.

I'm not upset.

I didn't ask for you to post here either dickhead.

Didn't stop you though did it. Thus, you won't stop me from having a go at you.

Now f**k off sh*thead.

Pat Richards is the best winger in the world with daylight second. How many wingers are over 6 foot tall, boast his pace and strength? Then you get his 70m drop outs and towering bombs, he's a freak.

he's played over 20 of his almost 60 games on the wing.

He's as much a winger as he is a centre.

He spent the whole 2008 season in the centres. He has been bought by Brisbane to play in the centres. He is playing for Australia in the centres. The only wing play he has had in 08 is at Origin level.

As far as Vatuvei goes, he is a stronger ball runner than Richards, but he is makes a lot of stupid errors, plus I rate Richards higher because of his dropouts and kickoffs.

John Morris spent most of his career at the wests tigers playing in the halves.

By your logic, you'd state he was a half.

Spent majority of this season either at hooker or as a bench utility. He's a sh*t half, but a handy hooker and a passable utility.

He's looked quite average at times to me, tbh.
He went to get a gig for ireland, he's got that now, hes gone...move on.

33 of his 48 games at the Tigers have been in the halves you moron.

Majority of THIS season was at hooker or off the bench.

I think John Morris is a sh*thouse halfback as I said, but it's a different story to Folau. Folau spent this season at centre, and has been signed up by Brisbane for several years (3 I think) to play in the centres. That to me is a fair indictation that the man is a centre.

So because he is going to be a centre means all his matches on the wing are now void?

He is a winger and he is a centre - proof - he has played both positions.

considering he is set to spend most of his career in the centres it makes him a centre in my mind. His games on the wing aren't void but the kid is a centre. Is Matt Cooper a winger because that's where he started out? Was Ruben Wiki a centre at the end of his career still?
