Every single player except 2 or 3 that wore the Yellow and Black during Richo's time should look him in the eye and say sorry for the pathetic performances they have shown throughout his career.

Richo played for himself and the club whereas most of these other hacks played for themselves time and time again.

I cant believe that a player like him should retire on 2 finals series, actually one as he played no part in the 95 series if i remember

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

Everyone will miss the big man and pulling the pin when there was a chance he may have been good for next season proves what a champion bloke he is.


That being said this is the best result for the RFC. We need to move on and find our next Richo.



summed up perfectly

much as he's been one of the greatest ever servants of RFC throughout his stellar career, we must now grasp this opportunity to move onward and upward

no longer constrained by a Richo-centric gameplan, the club now has a tremendous opportunity to implement a new and exciting gameplan under the stewardship of Hardwick & his supporting cast

the past 17 years have been a delight to behold the enigmatic but utterly sensational exploits of the 'cho

we must now embrace this opportunity to provide our new coach with a truly blank canvas upon which to work with

best post written.

as for the stuff on the radio, seriously, some of our supporters should get a grip. yes its sad, yes non of us wanted him to quit, but adults ringing radio stations in tears others talking in extremes about Richos departure like its a funeral, these people need to think about life abit more. There are kids who are in cancer wards, there are people living real tragedies everyday, yes, Richo is a legend, but he has retired, thats all. In time, Richmond will find someone who will become the next big name, just like we found new champions in every era, RFC have had plenty of champions, Dyer Bartlett Bourke Hart Morris Titus etc etc etc. We will find new ones again, and Richo will take his rightful place which is as a member of our team of the century and recognition that he has been one of the greats, but our supporters need to lighten up because theres far worse in the world than losing a player to retirement.

I can't remember ...... Did Richo have a year left on his contract or was he to sign a new one if he went on?

He was to sign a new one if he went on

It is sad though Ramps, Richo was a golden hope for Tigers supporters, he was meant to pull us out of that dark era, people placed a LOT of their hopes in him, and sadly it just never turned out for him or the tiges. A greek tragedy if you will rampsy. Don't forget for some people, footy is all they have got as an escape from violence and other gloomier aspects of the world

Ta WP. I was just wondering if there was any TPP issues (similar to Stevens) but obviously not if Richo's contract was up.

A career in the media awaits the big fella. He'll probably have a bigger role at Ch 10 next year.

A sad day. A true legend of our club. Thanks richo for giving us something to support. Interesting how some posters don't want to step back and enjoy his career. Says something. Where is fat tone? That's right, nothing to troll. Fat head.
