Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli

[St Kevin]

A lot better in the third.

 

[jb03]

Better than many others

 

[wayne]

A momentum killer, always wants to slow things up

 

[MB78]

Needs to stop casting his kicks and handballs. Makes it obvious to the opposition and is a slow play. Rioli just needs to play to his most natural instincts like Shane Edwards does.

Yep, he was better today than previous weeks. But he killed a few promising moves slowing play down.

 

[St Kevin]

Started slow, and by the end of the game was a lot better. Earned another week. Castagna should be feeling nervous.

 

[ToraToraTora]

Has a few points in the bank but has never been a midfield hunter which is what we needed tonight.

 

[Tenacious]

Can‘t tell from TV but if he looks up and there’s absolutely nothing on what is the point of playing on just for the sake of it?

 

[eZyT]

If he keeps missimg tackles

Hes gonna have to change his name

 

[Punt n Brunton]

How this guy got a game in front of Markov is beyond me. Markov's one game was very serviceable. Rioli hasn't played a good game all year. I don't understand why he continues to be given games when he continues to disappoint. His weight, fitness, speed and form are nowhere near the benchmark he has set himself.

There were a couple of times when there were options. With a risk, but that's the way we play - move forward as quick as possible. How many goals do we score this way? A lot.

I'd still keep him in next week.

9 turnovers. He used to play his best playing on at all costs. He's just devoid of confidence. Was encouraging to see him at least pick up his disposal count though. I really hope it's a bit of a turning point but until he starts taking the game on more, it's not going to change.

 

[Letsroar]

Better but still out of form

 

[momentai]

Surprised by his lack of effort. Will be surprised if he is back in the team this season, Mrs Hardwick notwithstanding.

 

[Ridley]

Better than many others

Hey? Others that weren't playing? Even then it's debatable.

 

[BT Tiger]

Tonight was definitely a step in the right direction, but he still isn't quite right.

A number of his kicks skewed off the side of his boot, i reckon there was about 3 in a row near the end of the 2nd Q.

 

[Scoop]

Still no sign of explosiveness or power. Involved, yes, impact, no.

 

[tha8ball]

I’d rather see Dow or Markov get a run in his position to be honest.

 

[17]

Yep.
Marks.Stops. Waits till opposition flood back.
Then kicks a long high ball on top of Lynch’s head, who is now marked by three defenders.
Rinse and repeat.
Wtff?
Should be coached to just play on at all costs.

 

[Harry]

Still no sign of explosiveness or power. Involved, yes, impact, no.

This. It's like he's playing in slow motion
