[HappilyManly]

He sounded aweful - wanting to kill people

Whilst players expect Clubs and NRL to teach them life skills, we will continue hearing these stories

There was also a redemption story on Tetenavo. But no follow up on how the poor woman he repeatedly assaulted is doing

 

[The '47ers]

Says he started taking drugs at 21, that puts him at the Roosters.....

 

[Chip and Chase]

Also said he progressed to ice at Manly, so I wouldn't be pointing any fingers.

 

[Briza]

I saw Richie a week ago, he's been sober and clean for 5 months and looks fit.

He played some good football for Manly

 

[MissKate]

Said he started taking ice after breaking his neck whilst at Manly. Did he play any games for us after he broke his neck, I can't remember. However he then went to parra after us, so would have been on ice whilst playing for them

 

[Narrabeen Laker]

Another confirmed drug taker and never suspended ? Gotta love the NRL drug testing regime

 

[Rodo]

Lets hope the NRL listens and takes steps to stamp out the "massive drug problem" that Richie says exists in the NRL.

 

[bob dylan]

From first hand experience with dealing with drug addicts comes the golden rule "don't believe a thing they say".

They will lie at every opportunitty and never accept responsibility for their own actions, preferring to blame every thing from childhood issues, partners, jobs and friends for causing their problems.

I have a cure for them and it ain't rehab.

 

[Captain Moondog]

Not sure that's a great move with his neck problems

Wow, things you learn... there's a Mundine fight this week and he hasn't been running his mouth / dribbling crap for the past few weeks to promote it.. or have i missed it? Usually you can't shut him up. Scared of this one? or just because it's not pay per view he's not getting a major cut?

 

[Harvies elbow]

Unless Richie has dropped a lot of weight being an ex prop and Cooper a half, wouldn't there be some fair sort of discrepancy there??

 

[ManlyMatt]

Richie broke his neck trying to get manly into the 2013 GF so I got nothing but respect for the bloke. Hope he is doing well and the drug issues are behind him.

 

[double hoops]

What's the name of the Richie drug story? Sounds like an interesting read?

 

[simon64]

Drug addiction is a bitch of a thing. I hope Richie is doing well.

As an aside....

Just got through reading Jimmy Barnes' book Working Class Man. I can highly recommend it.

How he didn't die is nothing short of a miracle.

Try reading Keith Richards' book 'Life'. It's another world out there!

It's funny that he's saying Quade Cooper fights rubbish and is useless but that he himself takes on hard fights and wants to fight the best but also wants to fight Cooper. He already seems punch drunk...

Have you read Pete Townshend’s book, ‘Who I Am’?
