Excellent performance.

He came on to a great reception. He was afforded that because Bradford had just scored, so all the players were behind the sticks waiting for the 5 and a half minutes it took Sykes to take the conversion, and Moore walked straight to the half-way line to a great applause from all round.

I actually thought he lifted the whole team when he came on (along with Latu) and I think that 15 minutes or so was where the game was won I reckon. Looked a real handful every time he took the ball in and an excellent start back for the lad.

It's like he's never been gone. Top effort. When he came on we actually put the Bradford kickers under some presure!

Big lift for the team to have him back, went as well as can be expected on is return.


Welcome back BIG GUY

Hasn't lost it at all - still hard to bring down, has the sidestep, the offloads, ran it in hard, got stuck into the tackles.... wow, I couldn't believe he was playing so soon let alone playing so well!

Very promising to say he's missed so long!! Up the Trin!

Richie is going to get better and better as he plays a few more games

Great to see him back and a huge boost for pack.

Any acknowledgement for him getting a big rap from many of the Bradford fans too?

Thought the Bulls fans were good today, apart from one foul old woman in front of me who insisted on saying I was stupid (for asking the NICE MAN NEXT TO ME why Bradford couldn't show the kind of hands they did for the lead up to Worrincy's try!), an idiot, and that I was a kn0b. Thanks very much to her! But yes, great of the Bulls support to show their respect to Richie.

Adeybull, good to see/hear, but re-read the post from mwildcats

There you go.

Great comeback game considering what he has been through.

Just great to see him back on the pitch.

I did.

Thanks for the edit mwildcats. (PHe - he likely did that before you posted?)

Good atmosphere in the ground all round today. And was really good to see Moore back - I know people with what he has, and he's done bloody well to come back like he has. Good luck to the lad.

Moore lifted the squad today, the lads dug in well & i've no nails left.

Has he bulked up again?

Oh yes

He looks the same size as he did when he was last playing. Up to 106 kilo's according to Kear.

actually richard is in a situation where the only foods he can eat are beneficial to his game, so im told!

no alcohol and high protein!

I'm gutted for him!

How smart was it of Kear to introduce him in to the game just after the Bradford try? Came on when there was no action, went straight to the half way line and receieved the full adulation of the crowd, he is a smart man our John!

I thought that too. Too bloody clever by half is that Norris...

He was on the sideline waiting to come on just before Menzies went over for his second so I think the introduction of Moore was a smart piece of impromptu planning by Kear rather then deliberate.

Agreed but it worked out well anyway

If you had bee away for the last 6 months and not known about the problems you would have thought he was the same guy. Both in appearence and performance.

Yes I thought it was ace the way Richard stood there on his own in the middle of the pitch and recieved a round of applause that went on for ages. He wasnt milking it either. I was worried that he may have come back too soon but there were glimpses of his old self there for sure. A few more weeks and he will be in tip top shape and ripping teams apart again. Love the way he plays the game.
