I agree with David. Brando can look after himself and the move to Gold Coast is the opportunity to do just that. He’s done well by the RFC.
I don’t recall Brian The Whale Roberts ever being ostracised by the Tigers.I think he will likely struggle to stay in the seniors with the talent to come back and the talent coming through.
For his own career, and for the opportunity to set himself and his family up for life, I reckon he should likely go. They almost said as much as the players were presented today at Punt Rd.
One thing I think will help him decide was the way Grigg and Delidio were sitting together at one point yesterday. Richmond have grown up from the 1970s. Back then you would have become persona non grata if you left - it was an attitude that fitted the times, but also a culture which changed too late at Richmond. Now it has changed and, if Brando leaves and plays elsewhere, he will always be welcomed with open arms at Tigerland.
Stay or go, bloody frustrating or playing a blinder, thanks to Brando for his contribution to 2 flags and making a lot of us very happy Richmond supporters.

That would never happen when you run a pub!
Correct.Hmm, my memory is not great, but wasn't he traded by the club for a certain John Pitura?
That was a waste of time, hopefully we learned never to make such a mistake again.

I'd give it to Ivan to return to the tradition of a ruckman.Who will get #5 if Brando leaves?
Or in a final!Well least playing for the Suns he wont ever have to worry about playing the Tigers at the MCG.
Graham Teasdale, Francis Jackson and the Whale for John Pitura!Hmm, my memory is not great, but wasn't he traded by the club for a certain John Pitura?

All because he played one good game on Francis Bourke.
