John Rillie

We're four games in to the season, isn't it a little early to be worrying about John Rillie's offensive production?? I came across this article below (JR pointed it out on his own site) and I see its now even on the official NBL website. Click on the title below to see the rest of the story.

Now, being one of JR's biggest fans, first thing I do after Townsville play is to check the box-score and see what his numbers are like. Sure they haven't been great so far ... but Townsville are all of FOUR games in to the NBL season. Let's not confuse Rillie with Jacque Vaughn (pictured below) who started one season in the NBA shooting 0 of 22 from the field. Townsville have started this season with 3 wins and 1 loss, good enough for 2nd in the league so I'm sure there are plenty of other teams and players struggling worse than John Rillie. JR, drop 30+ points on the Wildcats this weekend and let's put an end to these stupid stories.

Veteran Townsville guard John Rillie says it's been business as usual at training this week despite his lean return during the Crocodiles' first four games of the NBL season.

Rillie has registered just 22 points, dropping seven baskets from 31 attempts from the field. That leaves him with a less than flattering shooting percentage of 22.

The poor figures are an anomaly in the 36-year-old's ultra-consistent career, which has seen him score an average of 15 points a game for the past decade.


Jacque Vaughn ... look at that form kids (left hand placement), no wonder he stunk
