Will Pat Richards join the coaching stafff in 2017?

[Milky]

Congratulations to him on the gig, will do very well. Appologies if it has been posted.

Richards in 05 was great. Tuiaki in my opinion definitely played a lot more high quality footy for us than Richards did.

**We let Koro go** to play a slow past it Richards. It was a huge mistake.

Richards might be good for the club though. He seems like a quality guy.

We let him go Steve (just in case you have not read the other 500 people who have said the same thing) because he wanted out - HE DID NOT WANT TO PLAY FOR US ANYMORE!

He is a mercenary - he is chasing the $$$$$, that is why he has now left the STORM.

That is why JAC went as well - just in case you drag that up as well.

Might be too soon for one of the 'old boys' to get a gig at the club. Another year or two perhaps. And he should earn his stripes before getting a chance

 

[Cosimo_Zaretti]

Can he come on after we score tries and just kick the goals for us next season?

How about we just play Pat on the wing and get him to kick goals. A 35 year old crippled Pat Richards will still defend better than Jordan Rankin, and we might be able to convert from the sideline.

Pat wasn't that great in his last year. Kicked at 71%, Rankin kicked at 70% in 2016.

JAC & Koro both left because we didn't offer them fair value. It's that simple. I can sort of understand letting JAC go but I think it's a dumb decision. Koro is a definitely a dumb decision. Koro was killing it every time he played first grade and because he wasn't picked enough in first grade he was killing it in reserve grade.

Spin it as much as you want. It was incompetent team management.

I give up Steve, you win.

Anyone who disagrees or tries to talk sense, to you it is spin.

You got this last bit spot on. Well done.

Yes the Koro incident was atrocious. Incompetent management.

That is NOT what I meant and you know it. - Reverse spin does not work unless it is cricket.

I thought I deserved at least a nicely played comment.

Who cares about Koro.
He wasn't the answer to our problems and he would have split to union a year later regardless. He chases money and isn't shy to admit it.

We still wouldn't have made the 8 in 2016 if we had him.
