No one knows exactly what happened, Rioli might have been king hit and Bolton might have gone in to try and separate, got wrestled to the floor and cracked his wrist.
Rioli might have gone in 'guns blazing' trying to protect his GF's honour and Bolton could have done the same.
Who knows?
For us it's just pure speculation and as such, comments about who was right or wrong hold no weight.

WEST Coast premiership forward Willie Rioli will face court in Darwin on Wednesday after allegedly being caught with cannabis in the Northern Territory.

It is understood Rioli was due to fly from Darwin to the Tiwi Islands on April 23 when he was allegedly stopped by a drug detection dog at Darwin Airport.

Northern Territory local court lists show Rioli will face court on Wednesday morning charged with possessing a schedule
2 dangerous drug in a quantity less than traffickable (less than 50 grams) in a public place.

Rioli had been planning to fly to Perth in late April before putting his return on hold due to the state's snap lockdown following an outbreak of COVID-19.

I back Shai Bolton and Dan Rioli 100%. I honestly hate Richmond (possibly more than anyone) and I would love to hang it on them but in this situation I just can't. If they were standing up against inappropriate behaviour that Dan's girlfriend (or any female on the planet for that matter) was subjected to, then good on them. I hope the other guys came off second best, well done for taking a stand lads 👏

Hasn't Zorko been pretty durable over his career?
He's 32 years of age, had the old mans injury last year, the dreaded calf strain. Once you've had it you're much more likely to get it again, especially at that age.

All of these FWD potential ins seem to have durability question marks hanging over them. For me with any one of them I bring in I'll just be closing my eyes, click the trade in button and then cross my fingers.

Willie Rioli? More like Willie Nelson 😂
I know Willie Nelson is ancient but he deadset sounds like he has emphysema these days. Another of those CnW GOATs Merle Haggard reportedly smoked more weed than Willie does/did (like would start smoking before breakfast and keep going all day) and that's what apparently killed him in the end.

All of which is to say, if you're going to do drugs, kids, make sure its edibles.
