Cyril Rioli is still the most overrated player of all time.

Why bother?

It's the theme of the bay to WUM us with Rioli-related crap. Meanwhile he's won 3 Premierships in his 7 seasons, and every single Coach bar none would take him in an instant.

But of course, the uneducated pillocks on the bay know best!
Yeah fair enough, but I just would have thought the accurate bestowal of such an important award as the Davis would take precedence over all temptations to WUM.



Ps: Wtf is WUMing?

WUM = wind-up merchant.... aka trolling. Picked it up years ago from an Arsenal forum and it's stuck with me.

Yep, he did, it was just a little part though wasn't it? The team got 442 disposals and Cyril got how many of them? Can't really see why you guys can't acknowledge he wasn't the best in the world. Still cranky despite going back to back hey.;)
He wasn't brought in to be the best in the world. He wasn't even brought in to be the best in the forward line. Or any line. He was brought in to play a role better than anyone else on our list could, which is exactly what he did. That role had nothing to do with getting on the end of handball chains/racking up easy possessions. That was Sucklings' role, was Suckling shit because he didn't get any contested ball or tackles or pressure acts?

Past caring old chap- have said my piece and think I have been pretty fair-something some of you can't seem to be.

Shitting on Rioli for not being among the best after 12 weeks out in a route where he was not required to explode is sub reasonable, and I doubt you ever cared in the first place.

Bottom line is, bringing Rioli in was a risk that clearly paid off and there ends the valid part of Rioli's audit.

This thread is for dummy's.

If you bothered reading you'd see I have been pretty reasonable.
Get over yourself you sooky lala. Having a sook meltdown because someone doesn't think Cyril was bog. I mean really.:rolleyes:

If you bothered reading my posts, you would see that my position is actually that whether or not Rioli was bog is a completely asinine topic for discussion.

As is this entire thread, and it's predecessors.

Mess you seem mad.. Cheer up
Yep, amazing isn't to. But let's be thankful for small mercies, this is as good as it gets for the Hawkers-yet still the biggest whingers in the comp by a country mile.
Can you imagine the sooking we will have to put up with when the empire crumbles.;) Does not bear thinking about!
