There’s no better way of escaping the biting cold of winter, than by tuning in to this week’s special “Talking Tigers” O.B. (that’s outside broadcast for the uninitiated) from tropical Cairns, as Richmond prepares to take on the Gold Coast Suns at Cazalys Stadium in an important Round 16 encounter.

It’s pina coladas all round, as the TT crew takes a thoroughly-deserved brief sabbatical in the Cairns heat.

But there’s much more than Moreton Bay Bugs, oysters, prawns, smoked salmon, crayfish and barramundi on the menu, as the team analyse what went wrong in last Saturday’s match against North Melbourne and preview the Gold Coast clash, while Richmond’s multi-media megastar, Matthew Richardson, lists his top-five multicultural Tigers, and tries to get his sizeable head around the deliberate out of bounds rule.

This is an episode guaranteed to warm the cockles of your heart (or the heart of your cockles if you prefer).

If the Tigers turn you on, then make sure you turn on to Talking Tigers.
