Title: Richmond's lack of speed is a real concern: Lloyd (Nine)
Post by: one-eyed on June 28, 2020, 01:25:49 PM: "Their lack of speed is a real concern."

Why you say that it worked last yesr ?.Doesn't have to be Soldo and Nank plenty options surely better then Broad and Caddy.

Balta can do the job and he's quick AF.

I wouldn’t say they are the genuine ruckmen that some are calling for though.
