Honestly hated Rinaldo with a passion for a long time and was pretty iffy on having him come here, although recognized the need for some toughness, I always thought he was a head case.
He seems like a smart guy who would be an easy teammate to like. His comment about being embraced by this group of players when he hasn’t always felt that from other teams as an in/out guy hits home. Shows how much of an impact having good character in the room can have. Nice to hear the team is an inclusive group and it’s leaking into his play in a positive way. Maybe he was a head case before because he was being left on the outside of teams and was forcing his role a bit too much. Seems to be a good fit here.
