Beau Ryan
- Thread starter hybrid_tiger
- Start date
If he plays like that for the rest of the year (excluding the in-goal calamity which would have gone out 9/10 times,) I'll be happy for him to be there. Took a kick or two under pressure and came up with a couple of fantastic intercepts.
I will agree with Hybrid though, he is often an ordinary footballer, and I don't expect him to carry his second half form for the rest of the year.

He was 1 of the better tigers out there last night. He did everything possible to let that ball go out of bounds, just 1 of those freakish tries that happened to be againts us.

x 2 Apart from the mistake in the corner (which was freaky) he was pretty good . He runs the ball up hard and was good under the high ball . Maybe Beau is the answer at fullback ??? His yardage when he has played fullback in past has been good and will hang around the ruck and give good support .

Ryan actually played quite well at fullback for his first three or four games there, until he decided to stop running hard on kick returns. (Obviously was instructed to do so).
Would prefer him there over Moltzen, but he has at least one big mistake in him and it will cost us points.
I want Brown at fullback.

Easy in hindsight to say he should have batted the ball out of play but it was a freakish try and as someone said in a earlier post where was the desparation from other players to get over and help him….there wasnt any.I thought ryan played one ofhis better games last night so its funny how people see differently.

what a load of rubbish, players are encouraged to shadow the ball, just as Beau did, i reckon on the coaches report it wont even be a cross against his name, it will go down as sh1t happens.
I reckon he is solid enough, i thought he played well last night.
He is actually pretty good out of dummy half getting yards with those little jinking runs.
I thought last year, with the exception of the souths game and the kick against saints in the final, he was quite good.
He won us a game with a couple super plays against canberra at leichhardt, for one.
I reckon his footy show gig, plus his finals kick has made him a target for criticism.

I agree. If he knocked that ball dead everyone would be screaming at him saying he didnt need to. He had his best game of the year.

No. wrong here.
As otthers have said theres a massive difference in defending another set on our line and regaining possesion….its not "as simple as that"
This try was a freakish try....but as soon as it happened I knew he'd be crucified here for it.
Most trys are results of an error somewhere...

The only possible complaint for Beau's effort last night was the attempted intercept in the first period of extra time that saw Gidley knock the ball on as a result, the rest of the night was pretty solid.

gotta say i thought sleau was ok last night. i really cant blame him for the try, it was a 1/100 play and im willing to bet any wing/fullback would have done the same thing. it wasnt like nathan gardners on friday which was an out and out shocker.
if anyone is to blamed for the try it is ayshford. he showed absolutely no urgency to get to the ball and left mcmanus with an easy try when he should have been there aswell.

Is it jut me or is Beau the most unlucky player in the NRL? He lets a ball run in the in goal last night and its remarkable batted back in, last year V souths he batts a ball back in from a 40/20 and it leads to a try. Take away the bits of bad luck he is a good player, very strong and most importantly he loves the club!
Beau Ryan is a symptom of a side that is not playing for each other, his actions aren't any worse than what Farah, Lui and Marshall have been doing since round one. Ryan and his team mates need to get back to simple sets for the first 15 or 20 minutes of a game and build up from there.

Most people disagree…i still think he makes way too many costly errors for a first grader.
