Richards just broke his leg (Tigers v Deragons).

He still should be fit for the start of the season if ligament damage isnt too bad.

Unbelievable, the curse strikes again! Better brace ourselves for something happening to the other signings now Hope he is soon fit and well (regardless of him coming to us)

I suppose better now than later. Gutted for the lad in terms of the Grand Final.

But will he be as quick?He doesn't posess blistering pace as it is.

got to disagree. He is desceptivley fast. He just doesnt look like hes going fast cos hes tall like Best.

Well I would not describe him as blistering quick myself. I would say he has sufficient speed but it takes time for him to get going being a big fella. Once in stride he's quick enough.

One thing that impressed me today was his defence and often in the centre position as Wests play their halves outside him defensively sometimes

i dont think it IS broken it showed you him sat in the changing rooms when the second half started and his leg wasnt in a splint or anyhting and apparently he was sat on the touch line during the second half

I hope you are right and it isn't broken. What a curse we seem to have with injuries.

very true..he shut Gasnier out completely, including a lovely tackle into touch in the first half. Good win for Wests, now hope Parra get through; that'll be a great final!

Scott Logan, Bryan Flectcher, Mark Calderwood and Pat Richards have all pick up injuires this season.

So i think that only leaves IP who han't been injured, although on his NZW profile it does say that he thinks the worst thing in Rugby League is injuries, perhaps he's joining thw wrong club then.
