I have been a rabid supporter and member of the Tigers since I can remember, and was at the game at the Gabba on Saturday night.
I am absolutely disgusted with Matthew Richardson. There is no doubt that he cost us any chance what-so-ever of winning that match. We dominated the start of the match, and had Richo kicked what he should have Brisbane would have been on the ropes. Later in the game, he had the ball outside 50, passed to Johnson to try and centre the ball - kick missed by miles, Brisbane got the ball and kicked the next 3 goals. Fast Fwd to last qtr, we had the ball to him twice in the 1st 5 minutes, both gettable shots or at least kicked to the point of the square, but no - he blazed away and missed. Did the same in 3rd qtr as well.
Brisbane supporters were laughing their ar$e off everytime he got the ball 'coz they knew he wouldn't hurt them with his disposal.
As of today, I am handing in my membership, will no longer visit any website concerning RFC or watch their games until he has left the club.
I have had enough heartache over the past 10 years. Whilst we play Richo, we have no chance of improving.
Hope to chat again next season, but will probably have to wait until Richo retires in 3-4 years.
Until then......
Warpig!!!!!
Many will try and put Bowden in the same category, they prob have the same number of errors, but Bowden has 4x the number of disposals - no comparison really!
