Rex

[Captain Blood]

Did anyone hear Rex on Sunday morning? He wes bleeding bad. You could hear it in his voice how cut he was at the performance of the Tigers and how dissappointed he was in the performance of the Club. His interview with Casey smacked of contempt and disgust at the way the club has caved in this early in the season.
We are a shambles on and off te field.

I did hear the interview, and he was not happy.

He has every right to be angry. Hunt is a former premiership player in a time when the tigers were a proper club, not the bunch of fairies they are now.

Time for hard axes to be weilded.

He has every right to be angry but until he is an active part of
our re-birth he can **** off.
If he does't want to help the club then he should
stop putting KB under the magnifying glass for the same reasoning.
The two of them are as bad as each other and seem to
continue a long tradition of in-house rivalry and personal in-differences,the very heart of the problem.
The club is at Crisis point and needs the FULL assistance of
past greats in turning the tide.

As much as I respect the man, Rex is a hypoctrite. He's been asked 3 times to join the board and has said no.

If he is bleeding badly and wants to help the club, the offer is there. Like KB, he makes his money in the media.

They're both hypocrites IMH. The RFC made them what they are today and it's time they put their differences aside and helped the club out.

To say RFC made Rex and KB what they are today sounds all sentimental but I struggle to see how it is so.

Rex was traded for Gareth Andrews after 1973 ending his affiliation with Richmond. He made his name later as a VFA personality 100+ goal kicking FF for Sandringham, a successful fishing business owner and eventually a media personality. You'd be hard pressed to convince me he owes Richmond anything.

KB was a champion footballer who played his whole career at Richmond. He could have walked into any other side and been a champion there. You could argue that Richmond was a great side so he got attention but you could also argue that he was a big part of why Richmond was a great side and had so much success.
His media success since finishing playing/coaching is surely of his own doing, and his start being attributed to him being a champion player rather than having played for Richmond.

They both quite obviously support Richmond. It would be nice to have these two high profile people around, but they don't owe the club because they played there.

I think Rex would be fantastic for the RFC. He could become the next Eddie McGuire!

 

[cairo tiger]

rex is on a million a year why would he come to the tiges and getting frustrated by an inept organisation?

I actually think that Rex Hunt is an ar$%^hole. He wouldn't be prepared to
go and join the richmond board because it's honoury, might be a bit
different if there was a fast buck to be made. No, its far easier to make
broadsides and **** and moan about everything the club does wrong....little
bit like the boardmembers that resigned ..well if the coaching tenure had
anything to do with it ...I say thanks for nothing you sorry ars$%$....alot
of good representing the members sitting in the outer with us
