People compare him to Tim English with their size and shape, fair enough.  So far he is way of English as far as Agility and athleticism goes.

Ridiculous comparison
They are basically the same height and weight now
With one being 26yo and the other 22yo and growing into his body

Ryan will end up far heavier and stronger than English .. of course he is currently more lanky than being as athletic/agile .. different body types

What part of agility and athleticism dont you get Damo.
Lots have compared him to English and in those areas he is definately a poor mans English.
And i disagree im not sure Ryan will ever be a real big bodied ruckman but to really succeed i have a feeling he will need to become one.

Of course
Standard Claw

Someone disagrees and the response starts with

“What part of agility and athleticism dont you get”

Get fair dinkum and read what I said you narcissistic prick

READ IT

My reasoning is clear .. he isn’t as agile and athletic because he is a different body type .. and he WILL end up far heavier than English .. who is a stick figure at age 26

As opposed to our 22yo
Tsk tsk tsk now. No need to get hot under the collar.

Hmm READ IT.

They are very similar body types hence all the comparisons. So we will just have to disagree about that point.

At age 22 English was miles in front of Ryan in all areas despite being a stick and struggling with similar problems that Ryan has..
So far Ryan has not done a lot to suggest he will be better than English in any area.

Lets hope he does eh just for your sanity eh. :snidegrin

I think that it is true English is ahead of him at the same age ……
if that was a relevant comparison.

Which you brought into the thread

Quoting “some people”

Which might well be “the voices in your head”

They are 2 very different players. Similar in height and weight only.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
