Maurice Rioli Jnr

MRJ has been given a proper opportunity under Yze, and flourished until his injury.

I think he's happy.

Yze's just gotta take the next step and play him mid from here on out.

Quick, evasive, hard tackling, burst player.

Born to play mid.

Bookmark this post. You could very well be right. He has the natural talent, and he's now proven to be coachable. A big test will be to see if he comes back in top condition. If so, that'll demonstrate dedication and discipline. I have big hopes.

And how he goes when he hasn't the likes of Daniel and Shai to lean on. Up to the club and the leadership to watch over him so we can keep the Rioli name on our team sheet

Agree. He needs to stick with Tarranto all preseason and see what it takes to get a tank to play in the midfield.

Question is will he fit into any jumper let alone 17 when he comes back from time off, my guess is fat camp again hope im wrong though.

I really don't give two bob for his name. How he performs is everything. Time to put up in my humble opinion.

Dan geez im going to open a can of worms, was a battler in the forward half. A much needed move to defense resurrected his career as it has done for a fair few.
A move for Maurice is clearly needed lets hope it works as well for him as Dans move to defense did for him.

To finish i don't dislike Maurice i just dont think he has reached any great heights to date. For me it is all about performance and nothing else.

He might be at the end of the season. But usually at the start of preseason he’s a little porker. Just about every preseason there are comments on MoJu coming back out of shape.
Yep he’s been looked after to well I feel because his Maurice’s son, time to work atleast as hard as every other kid on the list , doubt he’d still been on a list if he produced what he did in his first 3 years at any other club . In saying that I liked what I saw last season, that’s the bare minimum though , there’s been no outstanding full game played , I doubt his been in the best to many times . Has an incredible opportunity right now as 4 of our senior premiership indigenous boys have left over the past 12 months , he also is no longer one of the cubs , he’s now in the middle tier who can set standards for the cubs and his indigenous brothers .

Still jury out for me , however I’m more confident then I was 12 months ago

Couldn’t agree more , make it happen would be a great thrill to see jun in the old man’s number
Think I'd prefer to see him come back from holidays in good nick n then have a proper impactful season n cement himself in the senior team before offering the 17. Shows flashes n bits n pieces but still hasn't consolidated his spot for mine. Want to see him start the season fit and rotating through the midfield.
