Ryder - 7 Weeks On

[lamaros]

Remember when Ryder won the Anzac day medal and scored 133 supercoach points? A lot of people posting at the time considered it a flash in the pan and that Ryder wouldn't be able to follow that form over the season, and in his next couple of games he did dip a little in scores.

It might come as some surprise then that since that game Ryder has averaged 98.63 supercoach points.

In the last four weeks Ryder has averaged 110.5 points and has not gone under 100 points in any one game.

I think he's now shown enough over to demonstrate that he has become a proven supercoach performer. He is pretty consistent, can get the big scores, doesn't rely on his team winning, or his team mates to get him the ball (5+ takes in 6/8 games, clearances, hitouts) and is still underpriced (slightly). If anyone is looking for a well priced reliable player down back who could still jump his average up to 100-110 for the rest of the season then he's hard to go past.

I'm just worried that next year they'll only let you pick him in the ruck.

Fair call, however you will have to be carefull next year when looking at selecting him as Hille will be back.

Remember what happened in those 1st few minutes of the ANZAC day game to warrant Ryder being thrown into the Ruck ALA Brennan.

Yes, he is worth the option currently, but once moved back to a KP spot i'm still not sold.

 

[Hodges]

I doubt he will be moved down back permanently though. He is too useful around the ground to stick at CHB. Ive last his last month, lots of handy scores.

 

[geodke]

it will be pretty hard for hille come back from his injury considering he's a big unit.

ryders had alot of hype around him for years now and hes really come to the fore since that great game on anzac day

 

[Donkson]

Next year he won't be listed as defender.

He'll start to play second ruck/forward when Hille gets back.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Yes, he is worth the option currently, but once moved back to a KP spot i'm still not sold.

The degree of idiocy required to run Laycock out at second ruck over Ryder has yet to be seen on this earth.

We know he's stitched up the second ruck spot (sucks to be Bellchambers right now), but whats he going to do when Hille is rucking, probably 60% of the time?

He's going to be pushed forward or back (he's rather good at both roles), and we'll see him creep back to his 60 and 70 SC point games.
