Samson Ryan

Seems from reading now the Samson steamboat is gaining momentum through the waters.

What started a couple of years back with only a few of us to fill the first cabin is now ticket only to get on board.

Matter of time before the few left on the riverbanks chance their life and make the swim to the Samson Steamboat.

All aboard!!

Geez. The way you curse things NobetsMoleman, it’ll run aground or hit one of your other sunken steam boats eg the SS McBean.

Yeah, Ryan is going great, and should spend 2024 and 2025 as a dominant key forward, before becoming an AA ruck, but yesterday we got on top when Ryan was rucking against Chol (remember all those sooking last year that we let him go?), likewise against the Dogs we got on top when he rucked against Lobb. No shame, but he isnt quite ready to compete against the big boys yet.
In the Dogs game he won ruck contests against English and Naughton which got us going.

Chol was very ordinary on Sunday. Ryan is a much better prospect that him.
Pity Mabior’s ex Tiger teammate wasn’t the same because Bobble was very good and gave our players a lesson in workrate. I just can’t dislike him no matter what jumper he wears.

Little things sometimes convince, like Samson giving the pesky Short the brush off and saying no, I am the man, I have earned my place and will kick the goal. And he did!!!

Me either.
If we really wanted him to stay we wouldve kept him. Aka Baker Bolton and Graham.
We got ripped. They expected the AFL would give them a end of 1st rounder compo but when they offered them a end of 2nd rounder.
At that stage we were flying just won the GF by 15 goals who gives a shiit.
But 3 yrs down the track..we have 2 wingers that couldn't hit a target to save themselves.

Samson Ryan?Samson Ryan? Reminds me of watching a first year player in Benny Gale who was like a little puppy dog falling over itself.

Darcy was calling him Sam Ryan. I was utterly confused for the first ten minutes.

I reckon Tyler Young is one out of the box. Key position defender who was plucked out of the VFL that has played well in most games and is still in his early 20's
When you consider Young has played very limited footy, he is showing a great deal of promise and I reckon he will make the bigtime.
The Sampson dude, he is unpredictable with one minute playing like Natanui and the next like Ty Vickery but maybe persevering with him in the team will bring him on quicker especially as our key ruck and forward guys are injured or slowing down due to age

Sambo and Tylar Young will be the silver linings from this garbage season so far.

Hopefully can unearth one or two more by years end.

Agree, Tigersin.
Always have time for Bobble.
Always a Premiership Tiger.
Same goes for Great Service by The Butler.

Maarrbbss, Two Phones, not so much. Chased coin.

And don't get me started on Higlet.
We supported him through his health issues and then left first chance he got.
Another coin chaser.
Zero time for him.
Hope he is happy at the 1 Flag Aints.

Samson was good.
Needs to play every game this year other than maybe a week off down the track to freshen up the young lad.
