We should really be cheering Lids, because if he was still playing for us I doubt we'd be in the position we are now!

When Lids plays, Richmond wins.

Good omen.

I can't boo Lids, i thought through all those Wallace and early Hardwick days, why would Lids want to stay at this club!
He was so loyal for so long and in the end he just wanted to have a crack at a flag!
Without Lids at the time i would of struggled to keep the kids on board as Tigers!

No one here would of picked us to go this far and to me Lids made right call!

Absolutely agree. Was a champion for us for so long. He put bums on seats and was for some time one of the shinning stars in an average team. In his prime, with the current personal around him, he would of been one of the all time greats. Feel sorry for him and Richo. Playing during a terrible time for the Tigers in general.

Don't forget guys, there could be a Father / Son pick in the future, or some other role for him at our great club. No burning bridges here. Boo, shout and swear during the game, but after we beat them, stand up and wish him well.
 
They swapped Deledio and Zac Williams around. Deledio got a few more touches but Williams was well below par and didn't hit the scoreboard. Think they're stretching to accommodate an underdone Lids.
 
I live in the NT so won't be there, but I am hoping he will be booed like nothing else if even thinks about getting the ball.

Love him for his service to the RFC.

But he would expect nothing less than to face the wrath of the Tiger Army now.

Definitely no booing from me. Was our best player for almost a decade.
I probably won't boo him but he did say when he signed with GWS that he would not expect anything less from the Tiger army.
