I’ve known Amon and Richie for almost 11 years now. In this time they’ve never failed to invest their support and honest opinions throughout my football career. I think as a player it’s important to have an honest support system that will deliver positive critism in order to keep growing as a player and not become complacent in achieving their personal goals at a comfortable level, a true testimony to both Amon and Richie’s hard work ethics in what they believe and take pride in. Being in different countries has not interfered with being contactable. They make themselves available 24/7 and I can always guarantee they will contact me back straight away regarding anything at anytime.

Testimonials

I Have found Richard to be very professional and selfless. Richard is not only a good agent, he has become a very close friend and mentor to me. Richards professionalism and good nature has enabled him to get on with my friends and family which is important to me. He knows his business and I would recommend him to any Rugby League player who needs advise and wants to advance their career. I wouldn't be where I am today without him. I like the way he keeps in contact with me on a regular basis.

Chris Cunningham

Being an amateur in rugby league was hard without any guidance but Richard and Amon helped me maintain a good head on my shoulders and they help not just rugby but the welfare of the players to succeed in the sports area and also being in society. They know how to approach people and I would give them a 10 out of 10 confidence rating. Very trust worthy and have very good social skill with young players.

Tui Katoa

I like how easy it is to talk to Richard and Amon, like you are talking with one of the boys. Always willing to help me when Im going through something or if I need anything. Top Blokes!

Abraham Papali'i

"Richard White from Inventus has organised and run week long training camps for young up and coming rugby league footballers from all over New Zealand. My son Mark has been lucky enough to attend these quality training camps and has thoroughly enjoyed every one and has also made some great friends. The training is very specific to each player’s requirements and position and the whole camp is run very professionally. Richard has managed to attract some quality coaching staff and ex players including Michael Maguire and Matt King from South Sydney which as you can imagine has made the camps even more enjoyable. Richard genuinely has the players interests at heart and I would recommend him and the Inventus Team to look after your son’s future." Kind regards, Michael and Wendy Graham (parents)

Mike and Wendy Graham

As parents of Chris Cunningham we have found Richard and Inventus to be very professional, caring, having our sons future a top priority. Richard made sure we understood the huge decision we were making with our sons future explaining all the ins and outs of this huge step of living in Australia.The information flowed before any contracts were talked about was outstanding. We felt very comfortable with what the future had installed for our son. Richard communicates very well and nothing seems to be a problem to him. He will look into any queries and concerns and get back to you with an answer. We are now so comfortable with Richard we see him more as a friend than an agent. We highly recommend Richard and Inventus as agents to up and coming athletes. They have your son or daughters best interest at heart.
