Every time i have seen him he always has time to talk, and never have i seen him being obnoxious to-wards any person, or not have time for them, but i have never seen him drunk, mast players seem to like to get popped up & god nows why, there is a fare few clubs with players who get in to trouble, some regularly & you will now one player, as you see him weekly
Some might think the team they follow is full of angels,

Sport is simply a reflection of society. Plenty of young blokes get popped up and have a fight at the weekend throughout the UK, but professional sportsmen are targets for trouble and of course if they get into bother its highly publicised in the press.

The only way for them to avoid this is to not drink or at worst drink in moderation but that's easy to say in hindsight and not so easy to do when you're a young bloke in your 20's!

Most of the highly succesful, decorated and highly rated players in most sports are ones you very rarely see in the headlines or in the boozer.

That is not to say they don't go and they dont let their hair down, but they are careful about how they go about it, where they go about it and with whom.
It is not what you do, it is what you are seen and perceived to be doing I am afraid as much as anything else. Want to be clear, it is a generic comment, not particular to Richie. I am in no real position to judge him, I don't know him well enough.

Main thing is anyone can make a mistake, twice attracting attention is silly - there is no excuse for repetition.

Fighting in ponty is common, what Millward should do is make it out of bounds, nothing has changed since i went with the mates some years ago in some pubs you only have to look at some one and there ready to knock your head off, keep them away and they wont be any bother i know they are professionals but they are still mainly kids

I hate going out in Ponte for that reason.

I would have Jimmy Watson from Rhinos on my books by now. I feel Leeds want him for cover for Zak but the reality is he is not going to get game time unless Zak breaks something or has an affair with Charnley.
Come on Cas get him on board start him on the wing then push him to full back. This guy scored five tries against Hull FC 20s this year; no mean feat at any level.
If this Aussie Vickery signs it will be even harder so strike now before some other team does. Watson was also player of the year last year and is training full time.
Sunley is not ready yet still three years away.

Re: Richard Owen : Tue Dec 04, 2012 8:44 am

Re: Richard Owen : Tue Dec 04, 2012 8:55 am

I'm not a fan of the Whino's but they certainly know how to produce junior talent and promote it throughout their system and into their first team squad too

They currently have two outstanding young full backs on their books that aren't likely to get a look in due to Hardaker and they are called Jimmy Watson and Josh Sunley,they are both pretty raw but both could make it in SL without a doubt IMO

I would take both players now and that would still leave plenty of change for other signings

Looks like we both know our junior talent pal
