I like to congratulate the Richmond club for the way its going its a good feeling to know the club being part of my life since i was 12 yrs old remember mud soft drinks in the 70s n the centre of the universe for us kids go the the bulldogs. I'm proud to know the club is even better now than ever before. It is giving all the young kids an opportunity to better themselves and lead to better lives for them and the future. I'm fortunate enough to be where I am but I had to work very hard. So to those kids that come through the club, if they work hard enough they should bear the fruit of success and live wonderful lives. God bless

Gus you're a legend. You can do it. For the kids.

Glad you're getting rid of the booze. But don't substitute it with sugar ridden fizzy drinks..they're equally unhealthy! Good luck

A bold move by the committee and members of my beloved Richmond Rovers RLFC - so proud of the leadership and commitment made - many years from now this will be seen as a milestone for the club and the game.

Hi, On behalf of my neighbors in Wallingford St we would all like to say thanks and congratulate you on the liquor free policy at the club. It has made our neighborhood so much more enjoyable to live in and we appreciate it. Regards. 

After the Richmond Rovers Rugby League Board Meeting last night Ming Mafoe and his existing Coaching Staff has been re-appointed to take the reins for our Fox Memorial Shield Competition campaign in 2014.

The Board has invited and requested a review with the newly appointed coach and staff about their successes of this year's Campaign and their plans moving forward. This will provide an opportunity for the Richmond club to find out where we can be of further help.

Congratulations again to Ming Mafoe, Mark Michaels & Molly Foai for their confirmed appointments!

I am absolutely lost for words after being involved in and witnessing some memorable events and images of our beloved Richmond Rovers Club in Grand Final battle action over the weekend. It never seems to amaze me about the number of talented players and people in this proud club. Add that to the incredible support from our loyal and passionate families, volunteers, supporters and past players; we look forward to a bright future on and off the playing field! I am very proud of all our Richmond teams especially the Premiers which is our show piece marching on into the Fox Memorial Shield competition in 2014. I am very grateful for this great opportunity to be part of the Greatest Club in Rugby League History!...the Richmond Rovers.

I mentioned last Saturday at prize giving during my speech about how important the following qualities are to us all at the Richmond club. 


The four chambers of Richmond's strong heart that have kept our club going for the last 100 years are our volunteers, our families, our supporters and lastly our past players. What I highlighted as being important to our Premier grade players is our Richmond club's goal to compete in Auckland's flagship competition. You have in front of you a huge opportunity to stamp your mark and put your names beside that trophy moving our club to where it belongs, the Fox Memorial Shield competition. I can not bring myself to accept that we are in the Sharman cup competition and neither should any of you. 

I am so proud of you all and what you have done so far by putting yourselves in this position to compete in the Sharman cup grand final. You have responded to my calling make all those long hours of time and effort myself and our wonderful volunteer committee have put in over the past two years worthwhile. Your passion to your coach and staff makes this proud club stand proud beside you in battle. Good luck for next weekend's game. Train well this week and next. Do us proud!
