Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3231831, member: 9853"] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][I][B]Jordan Riki [/B]has more to say, and he says it to [B]Peter Badel,[/B] a senior editorial employee of [B]Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation[/B], part owner of the fabulous [B]Brisbane Broncos:[/B][/I] “To be honest, I know there is a lot of talk around me and David Fifita. I am good friends with David, I was in the EPD (Elite Player Development) system with him at the Broncos and we would always have a laugh and go out for a feed together. David is a great player and it sounds strange ... even though we are the same age, I look up to him because he has already done a lot more than me in the game. I don’t look at it like that (being the next Fifita). I just want to be myself. I want to be Jordan Riki and play the way I know I can without trying to be like someone else.”[/COLOR] [ATTACH type="full"]11946[/ATTACH] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][I]The best source of everything Broncos[/I] “I wanted to stay here. I felt like I’ve built a strong connection with ’Kevvie’ (coach Kevin Walters). Me and Kevvie always chat. Sometimes he texts me and checks on how I’m going. That means a lot to me. I’m quite an emotional player, I hate letting people down, so Kevvie’s support means a lot." “Growing up in New Zealand, the Warriors were floating around, but I knew Australia had the best upbringing for kids and at the time Australia were rugby league World Cup champions. I knew Australia was the best place for me to play NRL, so I came out here. No offence to [B]the Warriors, they are a great club, and maybe I could finish my career there." [ATTACH type="full" alt="Hjordanriki - B4l4Fq_g5T_.jpg"]11945[/ATTACH][/B] [I]Not going anywhere in a hurry[/I] “But at the moment, I’m really enjoying my time at the Broncos. I want to be a part of their rebuild and win a premiership with this team.” “I loved watching Sonny Bill Williams, Benji Marshall and Ruben Wiki. I would watch their highlights 24-7. All I did was watch Youtube footage on repeat on my mum’s work computer. Whenever she opened up the laptop to do some work, she would see videos of rugby league players. I would watch them on Youtube and think, ‘Man I wish I could do that’. I would then go to the backyard and practise a Sonny Bill shoulder charge, a Benji step and flick pass and running over people like Ruben Wiki did." “The NRL is very physical. It‘s very fast, but at the same time it’s unreal. Sometimes I have to pinch myself that I’m out on the field, but playing NRL is all I’ve wanted to do.” McHunt[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
