Patty Richards

[bringelly boy]

I have it on good aurthority big pat will be right for training in a week and a half but sheensy is going to make sure hes ready b4 he comes back, doesnt want to rush him back and have another injury.

 

[Suzie]

WoooHoooooooo! Now that IS good news!

 

[CULLUS.ONLINE]

If this is true then Wests Tigers BIGGEST weapon is about to be unleashed!

I hope its true! With Richards on the wing in the form that he was in at the 7's would be like having a tank with a jet-engine screaming down the side-line being able to turn simple movements into try-scoring ARSENALS!!!!!!!

 

[bringelly boy]

yep its true,my mate (the guy who told me) from work used to play cricket with pat and mick clark and still has contact with them.Mick Clark is god father to my mates son.

I think he will get the last 2 months in, just in time for our run to the finals

He could be our best signing, i know it was only sevens but geez, his pace, power, strenght and jump was bloody awesome, i was totally devestated when he broke down

for mine

Hodgo
Richards
Fitzy
Elford
Moodie
Marshall
Prince

Represents a bloody good backline.

 

[Trollhammaren]

Awesome news. Him and Moodie on the wings will be grand!

He was supperb in 2000 (or maybe it was 2001??) and the 7s as well. I'M EXCITED!!!

Richards showed in his limited time on the field against Souths in the Gosford trial what he is capable of.

He was practically unstoppable before he got injured.

He is a mean, big, running machine. He is bigger than Meli and faster than most wingers in the comp. The guy is a runaway Mack truck !

His only weakness is his sideways movement in defence. This is most likely due to his knee injuries in the past (I talk from experience here).

I cant wait to see him on the end of our backline. :twisted:

 

[Mighty Tiger]

Just when you think things couldn't get much better and you hear news like this - Our backline ATM looks the best it ever has but to add Richards to that and well it really does look like a great young and talented backline with plenty of pace to burn as well!

 

[bonstonker]

i won't be expecting much when he comes back for the first few weeks.
in the past he has had trouble recovering from injuries mentally.

but i sure hope he can find form quickly

 

[Eddie.]

While im at it last years backline

Caine
Miles
Wilson
Halatau
Ohallaran
Fitzhenry
Withers

Not many survivors there..

When i saw richards at the sevens i thought he was prop with pace, i couldnt believe it when i heard it was richards

 

[CULLUS.ONLINE]

When i saw richards at the sevens i thought he was prop with pace, i couldnt believe it when i heard it was richards

I remember when i first saw him at the 7s too!

Me, Riff, Kingy, Westie and Magpie_Nick couldn't believe our eyes!

 

[Bib]

he is huge, i just hope he isnt injury plauged for the rest of his career

 

[Mighty Tiger]

he is huge, i just hope he isnt injury plauged for the rest of his career

I think I'm right in saying We all agree!

 

[Tigerpete]

IM sure The mighty Balmain Tigers will be getting first crack with him which will be good. :lol: :lol: :lol: Seriously though, it'll be great to see him back and i know i'll be praying for no more injuries.

You should be his manager/press writer. :lol:

Saw him walking into L.O. last Sunday and honestly he aint that big, tall, yeh maybe 6'2" or 3" but bulk wise he looked slim actually.

I wrote that just after watching the 7's replay!
lol

He might have lost a bit of weight during the year. Im sure he has/was doing some kind of fitness program to keep him up with the squads level of fitness?

 

[magpiemax]

Yes,that's great news seeing that if we make the finals we need a strong finishing winger.And all we need is a great prop forward and were set.

 

[simon says]

At the sevens he looked enormous.Way bigger than any other forward and twice as wide.

I would have thought he was about 193cm and 110 kegs easy.

 

[magpiemax]

"about 193cm and 110 kegs easy." Simon Says wrote.
Yeah....He probably is!
and I cant wait to see him again.I just hope he is not one of these injury prone players that you some times come across. I hope Im wrong! #-o
