I'm here for this.
A bit of random athletic ability.
If he can channel Mac.
Will be a great get

Congratulations Riak. Can't wait to see you in the Red and White.

A high riak, high reward pick

This should be illegal.

 

[Bloods86]

Best pick of the national draft. Hopefully can make a home down back with some more contested development, or even play both ends.

This is a very smart young man.

 

[caesar88]

I think the most encouraging thing I took out of this is that if this is the honesty and self-awareness/reflection he is demonstrating in a standard interview, imagine what he's capable of in a team meeting or player review.

Love that he's genuinely excited to come to us.

 

[Ticky009]

Almost picked him in the mid-season draft, he improved enough for us in the meantime to finally tick the box and say yes.

I am bummed that we didn't match the bid. I hope he works out well for you guys.

Rack!

Riak is listed at 193 cm's in all the pre-draft articles I can see. Whilst hard to tell for certain, looks a bit taller than that to me in the pre-season photos and videos in this first week of training.

May have sprung up an inch or two since that draft measuring took place? Still young enough to be growing.

 

[Nuggetz]

Already has the best entrance song, Rack City. Youtube it, very catchy.

 

[Superstar swan]

Got high hopes for this kid , he just seems so happy to be at the club and it appears genuine.

Can’t wait to see what he can do

That would test the Sydney Cricket Ground's censor button more than a Rodney Eade mic'd up segment!

From training today;
