fair enough didnt realise he was a kolpak. although having played for nz its gonna be 2 years before he can switch allegiance to to england( and I havent heard anything to suggest he is going to) so its a bit of a stretch saying hes british qualified. non-fed trained at best. |

I dont know whether he qualifies as a kolpak, but he was intending to apply for a British passport when he first signed for us, whether thats gone through or not after the visa foul up I dont know.
Anyway the British qualified is a bit misleading anyway since thats not what the SL criteria is.
Either way I think we can all agree there are too many foreign players in SL and that clubs need to improve their academies. |

Pretty rich considering the bloke that's carried your pack for the last few years came through our academy, and was actually signed from a Leeds club, as Leeds couldn't realise the talent of the future GB captain  |

So has Harrison Hansen.'"
Richards does indeed hold a British passport, both of his parents are Irish. |

Northern Ireland I believe, although that's Irish in my eyes. He would qualify for GB&I either way just as Brian Carney did. |

Maybe we didn't recognise his talent when he was a kid - he was a classic late developer - but when he was the best forward in the country you decided to treat him like cr@p and he came to us. I know which would be the biggest feckk up out of the two and it wasn't made by Leeds, don't you agree?

| One of my best friends is a Bulls supporter. His daughter who is around 9 years old is apparently absolutely devastated that her favourite player has left. Yes, there have been tears and tantrums.
She also hates Orford already! |

As a certain poster said on RA&B nows the time for the parent of any kid distraught by Deacs departure to now confirm there is no santa claus and the tooth fairy is fiction as it'd be a good day to bury bad news.

He obviously got sick of only being Champion for one year at a time.
