Rooey comin back to Oz

Post: # 2035678Post WellardSaint »

Interviewed recently.
Fam coming back for good at some point.

I don't think it'll happen though.

His wife's family pull was strong enough to get em over to Texas,
I don't see it happening.

He gave years of service to the club, would be nice to see him back, but he owes us nothing, IMHO

Not a huge fan of his post playing career. Can stay over there and won't be missed in the media.

Prefer to have him around the club though.

I’m inclined to agree. Just another former player pundit blowhard. But like you said, he’d no doubt be valuable working with the club at some capacity.

Here’s to hoping at least one of his sons turns out to be a gun footballer 🤞

Kids spending their formative years in America, well I can't see them stopping to catch their breath. THey'll be charging toward America, into America and they will be American in a flash. Aussie will look like a hick backwater, if it doesn't already. But they'll be polite and nice about it, in an all-American way.


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

I watched him through his time on Kayo -- I thought his commentary was great.

Australia maybe a bit safer than America at the moment ..Bidenomics has screwed them over pretty much.

I think he'll be back in Australia very soon. America is a total shithole. Just have a look with people still supporting that moron Trump. The place is f***ed. Too many rednecks in the south. Australia is one of the few countries where the population is relatively normal and is a lot safer than the US.

The only way he will come back is if his wife wishes to come back and she doesn't so we have lost him and his potential father sons.
Would love to have him back but why say it if he knows it is not going to happen.

Aren’t Reiwoldt’s wife ‘s family Texans? More likely they are Trump supporters like a lot of Republican Texan’s were?? 😢😢🥺

More than likely Trump is going to get convicted. All his lawyers are testifying against him. Texans will need to support someone else. Just goes to show what the average IQ is over there.

The Dow Jones rose 56% under the Trump (mis) administration!
What more do you want?
Texas is a Republican stronghold.
Soon the Reiwolt boys will be driving super-sized Ford F500 trucks with giant American flags around their backyard. (On way to Costco)

It's sad that the Saints always seem to have bad luck when it comes to a lot of things - including father/sons. I wonder if it is because we use "the Saints". Has someone (up there) taken offence?

Nick can walk into Fox or Channel 7 and earn a fortune. I’m not sure what his earning capacity is in the States.

Just Curious. Does any one has information how Rooey spends his time in Texas. Play a farmer at his in-law's ranch? stay at home husband? sports caster?

Riewoldt has invested in and is working as an Executive in Business Development for the PMY group who sold their stadium entertainment software platform and data products to the Superbowl, The Us Open and the upcoming Paris Olympics.

There are some heavy hitters invested and prior to Riewoldt leaving, Bluestone Equity Partners bought a minority stake in the company for $30m US.

One of the companies that PMY acquired, is based in Dallas, previously designed scoreboards and digital displays for 29 of the 30 NFL stadiums.

Roo is setting himself up nicely.

Thanks CQ saint. Great he is doing well. We can discount idleness and boredom as factors to drive him home.
