Shane Richardson. The NRL heavyweight REVEALS ALL! | Chiming In EP036

Shane Richardson stepped down at Wests Tigers CEO in December last year - just as the Club was finally finding its feet.

There were fears the highly regarded league official might have been lost to the game forever.

In this exclusive interview - his first since stepping aside - Richardson opens up on his love for the Tigers fanatical fans, his desire to get back into the game, why Benji Marshall is the right man to take the Club forward and why the NRL should buy the English Super League.

He also shares his thoughts on the futures of Jerome Luai and Jahream Bula.

It’s serious and at times hilarious and will leave you wanting more.
