Richo Richo Richo

Far canal.

Im so sick of the media on this subject that even if he did play he would need to
kick 12 to justify it.

If he plays great
 -if not - fine 2.

He just had the screws taken out today so you would think Richo is more unlikely than likely to play.

Why wouldn't we say he will definitely miss then select him just to put doubt into the Pies or if he miraculously comes good quickly?! Why raise expectations of him playing only to create a downer if he misses instead of keeping your mouth shut and springing a surprise if he comes right before Sunday and creating a big positive lift around the team  ???.

I would say there are a couple of reasons MT:

1. It will most likely encourage more people to come to the game if they think he is playing (our home game so more money)

2. Richo has a habit of recovering quickly from this type of stuff, we arent playing until Sunday so why wouldnt you name him on Thursday and see how he pulls up. If the pins are out then it should be fine otherwise they wouldnt come out.

That's true. Richo is pure entertainment. You'll never know each week what you're gonna get lol  .

That's true too Bully but while still naming him we should say he definitely won't play (ie. play funny buggers). If he's right by Sunday then the Pies will have 45 minutes to re-jig their plans and we (the team) get a boost by having the big fella back in the side. If he's not right then no diff to us and no let down.
