Why does Richo ALWAYS get beaten by the Duds?

[Bulluss]

This is one of the things which frustrates me about Richo, he always seems to get taken to the cleaners by the so called Dud full backs.

Nicholson towels him up and so does Presti from Scumwood.

Is it that Richo takes them too lightly and doesnt pay them any respect?

Is it due to the fact that he gets ordinary supply from the midield? This has been one of my biggest complaints over the years.

Is it that he just isnt smart enough?

I did feel for him last night as he got more and more frustrated.

What are people's thoughts?

All of the above, but the biggest factors last night were poor delivery and the injury he was carrying.

I'm not sure what it was but if it wasnt some sort of niggle that he carried into the Melbourne game then he defnitely didnt look well at all.
I thought he might have a flu bug as he looked very pale and was really puffing hard after a contest.
Something was defnitely wrong with him whatever it was.
He needed a shave too.

Friday night it was the above and the fact that wee played stupid footy. When things aren't going well alot of our "seasoned" players go into "kick it to Richo mode". In the 3rd he had count people - 5 opponents and where did we kick it? Hello kick it to Richo. 

Also a few times I saw Nicholson scragg him as he was trying to lead and to my total amazement the umpire didn't see or as is the norm when it comes to Richo chose not to

True WP.

When richo does have "dud" opponents on him,he usually has about 3 at once,thus why he gets beaten by dud opponents.(plural)

He also seems quite easy to put off his game when the former situation occurs.

That haircut is just not working either lol

One problem is the injury. Apparently the Club is trying to get Richo through to the mid-season break so he can use that to give his troublesome knee a rest without missing any games.

Stafford's absence the past couple of weeks has allowed the opposition's tall defenders to double and triple team Richo. When Stafford stays back in the square, Simmonds at CHF and Richo leading inside 50 then that splits the tall defenders. Hopefully Staff comes back this week to ease the attention on Richo. Richo when fit and firing would in the past normally leave Nicholson for dead.

So if there are 5 palyers on Richo, where are the 4 loose eff'en Tigers ? 
Tiv and Chaf running along the flank - I hate the sight of it. "Raking left foot" - my arse

This happens to all forwards. See it every week. Richo just makes his frustration more obvious.

We should knock off the eagles this week.

CARN THE TIGERS !!!!!!!!
