Richards is a winger and a very good goal kicker,he is usually fairly reliable,he just lacks a little pace now, but he still has enough to finish off most try scoring opportunities.

Gasnier used to terrorize us back then,it was like the Tigers could not touch him !

He's going to be an absolute freak of talent under Bellamy's coaching

Has there been a 100% confirmation ? I for one have been treating it as such but havnt seen it confirmed .
Im really hoping the club would reconsider before its done and dusted .

He could be a freak under the blue wiggle coaching him .

 

[BrotherJim05]

It's confirmed...he's off to the Storm

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

Any word on possible Canterbury reserve grader replacing him?

It's confirmed...he's off to the Storm

Where is it confirmed? Not in the sports mags, not on the WT web site?

 

[macnaz]

He has confirmed it on twitter , just read it now.

Potts will lure across a 36 year old winger from the ESL, you just watch it. Lote Tuqiri would be his first choice but for the fact he's never played league in England.

Here's hoping that Koroibete does well for Melbourne. He has some obvious flaws in his game but with patience and decent coaching he'll flourish.

It's all good... We still have Chris Lawrence !!!

I can't believe the level of whinging from people here. Our recruitment and retention in the past 12 months has been excellent. The only player who has missed out is Korobete, which at the start of the year was not up to FG standard.

It would have been amazing to have kept everyone but thats not how the system works. The simple fact is, Richards and Nofo are better wingers and the offer from Storm was just too good for Koro to pass up. Maybe he wanted to leave all along which is why he has been in NSW cup?

Retention for past 14 years has been outstanding.
Best in the comp by a mile.

I'm not sure if Richards and Nofo are better wingers than Koro. I understand he had to leave because he wasn't getting a shot but personally I think it was a mistake. Koro has lightning speed and the other two don't. You give Koro the ball in some space and he does a lot with it.

Our retention though has been great. I just think that losing Koro could be a big mistake. Time will tell.

 

[benched tiger]

Good luck to the lad he will go well down there !

 

[Pezz70]

Good to see him go, we should let go of all our try scoring machines, our defence is awesome, we don't need to score many points.

Yep, we just need Richards to kick field goals, and we'll keep winning games 1-0 etc:crazy:

 

[TYGA]

The net sum game is we lost Koro and signed Matt Lodge from Melbourne and we signed John Sila from the Dogz link below. Electric winger who cant defend. Sound familiar?

Sila has the build of TNT...hope he has the same ability!!!
