Player Watch #17: Daniel Rioli - Traded to GC, picks 6&23.

[Tony Harrison]

So what? You stated it was ok to give a kid 37 because it had no significance. I am showing you why you are incorrect with that logic because 37 is significant. More significant than 38 because Kevin only won one premiership compared to Green's 3, although obviously 38 has significance too.

Green won four, no?

Clearly we aren't going to agree
You think I'm wrong
I think you're a campaigner
Let's just leave it there

Here is a tip. It's just a number.

It wont make anyone play better or worse.

It is a players number for as long they play in it, once retired its not yours anymore, and it gets passed on to the next player.

The captain could be any one of 40 player son the list - does his number matter? No. It was god awful decision to go with the #17 as the captain nd I am glad Cotchin stood up and put and end to that contrived malarky.

We can't let old exaggerated fables of past greats affect the current day.

It's all supersticious, romantic, marketing mumbo jumbo designed to create a good story.

Well sonny, let me tell you something. You don't go around calling your fellow tiger supporters campaigners.
You also should show some respect to all people let alone those much older and wiser than you.
You should also go and read about the history of the RFC and what has made it the club that you supposedly love. Educate yourself a little and start getting a little wisdom yourself. It always sounds better when you can give people a comprehensive answer when people ask you why you barrack for the tigers, rather than answers like "Ummmm, because, ummmm….." .

As if Richo will have kids

I'll get the cloning machine out

Green won four, no?

OMG, you're right. He was 20th man in the 67 side; forgot all about that. Thanks, so he is a four time premiership player making 37 even MORE significant!!!!

 

[TigerMoz1973]

Like the tradition of the Captain getting 17….

So are there criteria that you can see that describe what is required to win respect? No. Again, it's this touchy feely sort of notion.

If you do it, do it properly and not half arsed. Publish criteria to the playing group of standards they must reach to qualify for a low number. However, to do it properly, you should maintain those standards too. So players that "lose the respect" of the playing group should have their low number taken off them and then given a high number. Doing it "properly" thus would be a farce.

Hence I think it's silly.

Hey Assbury, take 49 or **** off to Brisbane

As if Richo will have kids

I am sure he won't mind if we help him find an extremely tall athletic wench to go forth and multiply with.

I am glad Cotchin stood up and put and end to that contrived malarky.

Agree. No. 9 he had to keep. But I'm only quoting you for your use of 'malarky'. Very felicitous!

However, this is the Rioli thread. Go Dan and speak no malarkey!

As if Richo will have kids

I sure hope he does. I imagine he might later in life (I.e maybe another 7 - 10 years).

 

[TigerBelle]

If he does it will be daughters like the rest of them

Those daughters might have sons who play for RFC. So maybe we will have a lot of grandfather - grandson recruits one day.

Collingwood or Carlton will probably pick them up with pick 1 after they get the spoon

 

[Tango67]

I got the point, doesn't mean I can't have a joke about Richo not having kids or having daughters instead
For what its worth, my opinion would be the same for any father/son... even if its actually a father/son

I didn't really have a problem with Steve Morris given he arrived given he's only got #38

No I don't think you did.......?

 

[Bobby Sands]

Richo's daughters could be a good chance for father/daughter moving forward.

I sure as hell hope it doesn't follow Maurice's path. 1 grand final then......
As long as there are no streakers in next years GF, we should be fine.

Whats hanging out of grimes shorts :0 lol

 

[THE_GUN]

Just a little bit of useless information

Cyril Rioli was drafted with #12
Daniel Rioli would have been #12 also without the academy picks being included

 

[CHIMP MAGNET]

what sort of camera are you using popin ? must be pretty state of the art to capture the sorcerer rioli without blur. has he even been captured at full speed?

 

[THE_GUN]

U would be more interested in why Poppin is constantly taking pics of richmond /

He's not taking them himself, he's taking them from the photo gallery on the website.

Who puts them on the gallery in the first place?
