Samson Ryan

[tigersnake]

Beaut post, Snakey. You did the wok for us.

Wok on!

There was one more ruck before Nank came back on, ball up on the wing and no Footscray player nominated. He didn't realise, hared in and leapt and didn't really know what to do from there so he just half-bashed it fwd. Was in 2 minds. Missed a trick because he could have taken possession uncontested. Good energy again though.

Did you hear the one about Quasimodo coming home from work and upon seeing his wife warming up the wok, asked if they were having Chinese for dinner?
His wife said no, I’m just ironing your shirts.

Unfortunately for Taranto and Hopper they have lost their co-captain and best ruckman in Toby Nankervis for a lengthy period and will be relying on an inexperienced and undersized Samson Ryan to give them first use.

From Herald Sun - Mick McGuane rating the recruits

Samson is 8 cm taller and about 5kg heavier than Nank - #nincimpoop

Mick must have meant undersized in relation to Mate Colina?

As in, 'Mason Cox, the diminitive bespectacled collingwood rover battled childishly against the collosal Colina'

Undersized? He must have read the measurements wrong.

for real? height diff for sure but that weight diff is impressive

 

[Willo]

Bash those philistines Samson

He won't be near the strength of Nank yet. That will take another 3 or so years to build that core fitness up.

Will get there though. We haven't scratched the surface of his ability yet.

 

[tigerdell]

Yep. As a #1 ruck he is undersized.
Not strong enough in the around ground wrestle.
Can dominate in the leaping at the fair in the centre square

As Leysy says he'll be a beaut in 26

Remember watching that contest and thought he doesnt know what to do.
No need to wildly thump it.
The bad guys cant touch it until Ryan does or it bounces. We should spread hard and get Samson to grab turn and handball to a loose running behind him.
Need to be a dynamic play

A journo never lets facts get in the way of a story

The tactic of the ruck stepping over the other side of the circle is a disgrace. I can understand why Nank does it. But Ryan and Miller both doing it. Ryan should be able to win at least half the taps. If he can’t make him learn.

 

[Merveille]

Dropped chest marks and overhead sitters. If he can’t mark it it’s all over. Ruckman have to be strong marks

 

[thegdog]

Dropped too many tonight, but he’s coming along nicely I reckon. Bit more muscle and confidence and he’ll be an imposing opponent

 

[mrposhman]

Has Hampson been teaching him how to mark?

 

[Smoking Aces]

Keep playing him. He is still 2-3 preseasons away from being the finished product.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Thought his work rate was first class tonight , but of a nearly night for him

 

[witch]

Two marks for the match, needs to start clunking them around the ground. His work rate is as high as I'd expect it to be but if he were a little bit cleaner overhead he kicks 3 and saves a momentum changing goal going the other way.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Keep playing him. What else have we got?

 

[Ridley]

Samson, if you're 6'9" tall ya gotta take the marks son. Just sayin.......................................
