I like that lad and he has potential but the hype is unreal. Too much for him.
Very true. Let'see some pack busters and hit ups before we get too carried away.

Samson Ryan
- Thread starter Tigertool
- Start date
We've got Paul Salmon, Corey McKernan and Max Gawn covered with this lad according to the fluffers.
He's played one game at snr level. One.
He had zero possessions in that game nearly 2 years ago.
Samson showed great form preseason. He's 22 years old.
Is he a senior player or a myth?
He's got good cover in Nank & Lynch.
Let's see what he's got..

Not entirely sure what that means Redders but if it means we need to make the transition before players fall off the perch & expose a raw underbelly then I'm all for it.
Quality vets Tarrant & Riewoldt, still have a role to play but they need to start being seen as the back up options as we transition to a new generation.
We know by now what these older guys will bring but they're not getting better. Younger players won't either without opportunity at AFL level.
Steely Green.
I gave you MJ last year ToOba and this year I’m giving you the Steel Curtain.
Unlike the Peter North crew that are pumping up Sampson, (who worryingly for the poor bugger are made up of serial wrong callers), I won’t let you down. You can trust me.
Word is they love him at the club. Nank nominated him as the one to watch at the recent Captains day.
We've seen enough of Ryan at VFA level to know that he just can't get a ruck contest there. Nothing to learn.
The tall backs at VFA level are 5'10'' and not much chop.
Ryan is no longer a ruck prospect at RFC. We're rebreaking him as a tall forward and fair enough. All he has to do to get a call up is repeatedly destroy VFA dwarves. And I think he can do that. But he hasn't done it yet.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
The rain was pissing down and he was injured an subbed out early. Too much is made of that game.
It was a perplexing decision to play him in those conditions.
From memory, the streaker got more possessions.
Not too much was made of the selection. It was ridiculous.
I take it I am in that group as I am a big advocate of Ryan. Difference is I don’t get many wrong.
Only way Ryan continues to improve and improve quickly is to play senior games at the highest level
playing at a lower level tends to drag you to that level and inhibit improvement

You’ve got a strange situation going at the moment Aces. On one hand you’ve got moderate expectations for a 23 yo Premiership player with 63 games under his belt, but big expectations of someone who’s played just 1 game.
Interesting.
