Player Watch #32 Samson Ryan

[Turka]

If he and Hayes-Brown can somehow translate from solid VFL form...That's like two more new recruits...And Rucks at that...Unheard of...If it doesn't happen, no biggie, we look to free agency...It's not like they're milking the cow like a Shaun Hampson

The cow that Hampson was milking was a good looking cow

And then 27 next year apparently

Prime age for a big man

So what's the deal with big Samson's injury? Is there any chance the new ruck rules would help him or is he even more cooked?

What ruck rule is that.

If a ruckman looks inneffective and no improvement is in sight then he gets a free shot at goal from 30m out

Funny stuff. Comparing Ryan’s situation to Hampson. Hampson was an absolute dud, but we want Ryan to be something close to Hampson.

Ryan isn’t at Hampson’s level unfortunately

If Ryan can't get a game in the seniors this year he isn't & never was serious. It's bad enough he got passed immediately as a Forward by Faull & Armstrong as rookies. Surely he has to be a better ruck option that Toby "Boxer" Nank
