Quote: gizempo "Sorry but Ryan is overrated, mostly by himself i believe. He isnt a bad player, very solid under the high ball and in defence. But his kick returns were often poor, he didnt link well into he line, usually mistiming his run or just driftng wide rather than straightening up and he couldn't pass to save his life. If we get Miles back then very good business!'"
As one of Ryans sponsors Im probably quite biased but I can tell you for sure that the bolded part is simply not true and i have no idea where this idea has come from. He is one of the nicest lads you could meet and not big headed in the slightest. The move to Dewsbury will be very good for him and he will do well under a good coach like Morrison who knows how to get the best out of players.
As for the timing thing I think that were more to do with Harrisons tactics rather than Ryan himself, he wanted a FB who would create tries rather than score them but taking one look at Ryan`s scoring record its clear to see that the lad just has the knack of finding the try line. For some reason Harrison did not use tactics that suited that style and Im sure that the beastings and the rollockings that he constantly handed out did nothing for Ryan's confidence.
