umm because he's in the top 5 outside backs at the club.

If this is the case we really need to sign some outside backs. I hope it isn't the case.

I'd continue with him there though until the end of the year. He deserves that respect and if he gets an open try line he will score for us.

He's leaving isn't that enough…

Thanks for the memories Pat....Great Clubman who always gave his best for the Club...

Hope he goes out with 3 wins and cracks 200 points for the season..

x 2 (Good on ya Patty)

Pat is the nicest bloke you will ever meet the season is over anyway. Let him go out with his dignity in tact.

He's a good chance of becoming just the 4th player to score 50 tries for us also.
 
You guys telling me Richards is amongst the the top wingers in the NRL. No wonder were in last position.
He is far from a Tigers Legend. 4 Hitups a game, Kicks out on the full, And misses 50% of his goal kicks. What a legend. What do we call a Wayne Pearce, or a Ben Elias. There Legends. Pats been more than paid in full by collecting his wages every week while sitting on the wing sunbaking.

You seem to be a bit sunstruck yourself…or have you another condition that is effecting your mind....

Concentrate on the positives that people do and not the negatives,and I'm sure your condition will lessen....
 
Willow are you monitoring me about my posts. You guys complain about why were coming last, yet you think every player in this tigers lineup should be playing for one reason or the other. This team needs changes or wel be at the bottom for many years to come. and il continue writing what i want. I got a group of 10 to 15 mates that are club members and attend almost every match and they all feel the same. You guys might be happy with last were not. So worry about the rubbish you write and not what every one else thinks. Il be monitoring you Captain Willow and the rest of you tools.

And everybody thinks Matt Lodge is a troubled soul….... :unamused:
 
Yeah the positives that we havent played in the finals for god knows how long and that were running last. And we wont make the finals next year either. Il concentrate on that. Just pay my memberships fees and entry fee every week and be happy with that. is that how you think of the positives. Manly is on the cuff of making the 8 and they put 11 players on notice yet you guys are happy we finish last and keep the same side we have now. Wake up. As fans we expect alot better.

Keen supporter eh? Notice we're not in the bottom position, not far off it but not on the bottom. It's our for and against keeping us off the bottom. Please review earlier post. And yes he is in the top ten try scoring wingers in the comp this season.

To come in with a comment like your original OP, with 3 damn rounds to go is just stupid. Yes he hasn't been playing the best, however he's not the sole reason we haven't been winning games and given that the guy is already leaving and given that we aren't going to be in the finals anyway…..............what damn difference will it make???

On top of that, every damn moron on here just can't get it through their thick skulls that we have a bit of a financial problem and can't just swap players willy nilly around between the grades. Besides the very simple fact chopping and changing players, bringing in players that just aren't ready, does not do anyone any good.

You'd think after years of debacle under Sheens and our pathetic board that maybe, just maybe, patience is a virtue and this mess is going to take some time to sort out.

You're entitled to your opinion of course, just like everyone on here is entitled to disagree with it. So don't try to play the "I'm the real fan wanting us to succeed" crap.
 
this morning i come on to the forum to see if everyone was as outraged with the tigers as i am , and don't get me wrong i am a die hard tigers fan but lately..
i have been doubting the clubs vision and even the people posting on this forums ability to see whats actually going on , i don't know if it because your blinded by the love for your club or so on but honestly its beyond a joke .
when i seen the post on pat Richards i thought its right on point , and i know that once you see this you will probably pump me with a bunch of stats saying his one of the lead point scoring wingers in the comp etc.. but you also need to keep in mind that pat Richards kicks for goal and Tim Simona is the centre next to him ,his assists makes it easy for Richards the times he does go in for a try.
so don't focus on just the stats.. sorry some of the people on here need to watch the game in more detail and put his speed and strength in comparison to the other wingers in the competition because he is very far off.
And you just come off as a bunch of fans that know nothing about the game but feel the need to stick up for players… because you don't like to see the tigers doubted or saying that its a negative post when people point out tigers weaknesses that need work on .
and to whoever mentioned pat Richards amongst the legends please sit down he was pretty good back in his day but how can you think about mentioning pat Richards with the tigers legends among the likes of Paul Sironen , blocker roach , Gary jack and that's just naming a few . Rant over .

I dont think they are mentioning him along side those great players from the old Balmain.

They are only referencing him to the short history of Wests Tigers - Hodgo, Skando, Farah, Marshall & Fitzy.

I dont agree Richards should be classified as one of our greats, but as fans they have the right to praise any of the players who pull on the WT Jumper.

sounds a bit like the tirades that " Joel" used to give.
Could it be that Alien has returned, and venting his anger.

Back on topic,
to Pat Richards, best wishes and luck to you and your family for the future.
Thanks for your time with wests-tigers.
When you do eventually retire, be proud of your career, and that you have been in a premiership winning team in the NRL.
**It's something that a lot aspire too, and only a few achieve.**
