If that's what he meant, phew. But it was very poorly articulated, and I doubt I'm the only one who heard it that way.
Come to think of it maybe not. Riewoldt on MMM this mornign said that basically because he is in the media, he get told little from the club. Eddie said that was fair enough and it happens to all ex players in the media.
Roo than said when you are in you are in, but when you are out you are out.
Still dont think Richo meant Roo was not informed but was emphasising what you wrote, that Roo is the best player at the Saints for the last 15 year and is highly respected.
My take anyway Perse. I doubt Richo would disrespect Roo in such a fashion, probably just a bit under the pump and it didn't come out liek it could have.
