Having watched every home game this year i have been hugely impressed with Matt Ryan (Wakey's man of stell IMHO), but i feel that he's not a 2nd rower or even a centre. Before the tirade begins let me finish, as a centre he is defensively sound but rarely threatens going forward. As a 2nd rower his work-rate is immense (bar injuries i think he's been a 80 minute player every game. I'm sure you lot will correct me if i'm wrong), but for me again he doesn't seem to have the impact he should have for a bloke who's 6 foot 5 (that's a guess) and around 16 stone (that's a guess as well) he just seems to go down to easy. I know it's easy for us lot to be a coach on the sidelines but for me he should be going through the opposition players defending him (usually the oppositions half-backs hiding in the defensive line)
I just feel that his ultitly value is huge but that has hindered him I was wondering where you lot would play him next year

I personally don't think he should play in any other position.

He gets my vote

No player is a jack of all trades (great tackler, position player, side stepper, speedster etc). Each player has strengths and weaknesses, for me Ryan has a lot more of the former.

We need people strong in defence for both the backs and forwards so Ryan fits well for both. Also with the numerous tries he's scored this year I am happy with his attacking style.

I've grown to like him at centre this year. I'd be happy with this and let an out and out forward stay in the pack. At least this way we've more chance of having Ryan on the pitch for the full 80 as well

Seconded - and he had a pretty good game on debut that day.
I prefer him at centre.

SR all day long for me, not a real centre but competent none the less - but it's all opinion.
