Not wanting to fix what's not broken, however think will improve again as DR spends more midfield time and Stengle Chicken takes over DRs present role.

Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli
- Thread starter The_General
- Start date
Was skeptical when we first drafted this kid, but he's one of my favourites now.
The team seems to go better in second halves and half the reason for that is Rioli seems to go better in second halves.
I'd love a stat on how many of the other two Amigo's goals have been assisted by Rioli. They'd love having him around.
His leadership aspect, is te icing on the cake. We've always struggled to get our Indigenous talent to click. With Rioli taking them under his wing, that scenario is hopefully improving (read Bolton / Stengle)

I'd like to get Stengle into the side. He is Eddie Betts junior.
We have an issue with the number of rookies we need to upgrade though. Chol, Soldo, Stengle.

dont we have three spots?
graham, hammer and Drummond on LTIL, Griff sure to be added?
George takes one of em, 3 left isnt it?
Good point , is working toward that as his footy head is maturing , running to right spots and working hand in glove with his amigo teammates . More likely in 12montns time though I'd reckonCC TIGER said:
Yep, given the points outlined. I doubt we'll see Stengle play 1sts this season (unless Rioli, Cadtagna or Butler go down long term injured). Just no room for him on the senior list. No rush though, is quite a small, skinny kid. A mouth watering addition next season though.BillyJean17 said:
True except if we had got hipwood Rioli would be running around in a hawthorn jumper nowPappy said:
Not only do we have an excitement machine, we also make it more attractive for young indigenous talent going forward by having Rioli who from all accounts is a wonderful leader and has completely bought into RFC.
If he cant drag improvement from the likes of Bolton, Stengle, even the big Cholly through his leadership he almost becomes as valuable as an assistant coach, obviously his greatest value is his amazing talent, however the other attributes make him extremely valuable as his helping 2 x rookies and 1 very young chap drive improvement through themselves.

I love how smart he is, he consistently likes to use the tap on to continue forward momentum, got another goal from 1 on Monday (maybe Butlers?). I've noticed thats changed throughout the team also, as we got 3 from tap ons on Monday (Jacks first from McIntosh tap - or more like a punch, Martins from Griggs tap and the one Rioli created). Last season, we would have collected the ball, got tackled and then gone again at the stoppage, this year we are definitely looking at keeping the ball moving and not rely on the stoppages.
Every match Rioli is going to be an important player for the Tigers.
If every player were to follow Rioli's lead when it comes to "pressure acts" then the Tigers will go a long way to securing the four points on Sunday.
