If you have a desire to play, then you will have a desire to improve your own game and become a better player. I think it’s a great idea Town are giving locals the platform to succeed. Wish him all the best . Are you doing this to cause trouble or ? Utt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanboy Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 If all you passing judgement had any knowledge of rugby league or even played the game you would know Ryan is a solid player. Offers many qualities in attack and defence. One of the toughest players out there. But you continue to sit behind your keyboard bad mouthing players before they even put on a shirt on but yet continue to wonder why locals won’t sign for town. If you were that good yourself you would of played at town or a decent level instead of slagging players going out there trying to improve there game.

IanMac Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Welcome to the club Ryan, hope your stay is a successful one. On a different note the online article by Gareth Walker regarding Chris Thorman and the club is a very interesting read and really highlights what Chris is trying to do. Hopefully his vision can become reality and we once again have a successful club that has really solid foundations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkw Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Couple of weeks ago and our problem was definitely a lack of size in the pack, bringing moi moi and the local signings in has definitely addressed that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan hasn't played any higher than elbra no barla call ups or anything and hasn't exactly been a stand out performer at elbra eiva tbh but hope he goes well and proves me wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spoken to a few lads who have played both alongside and against him, and they all say he will take to it like a duck to water. You seem to be the lone voice in this overwhelming doubt pal.

Carlisle1921 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 A lot of very talented amateur players don't get representative honors because they can't afford it, work wont allow it, their family/relationship situation doesn't allow it or maybe they just don't want to. As much as people know the Barla and community lions coaches might have been begging Ryan to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a lot of the amateur players are not interested in playing for the county anymore, its less important to them, just like both the Challenge cup and Barla cup, clubs don't enter because the players are not interested.

Why do you think things have changed in that respect? Can understand the national cup to a degree (even though it used to be the holy grail for a lot of clubs) but surely amateur teams would want to have a real crack at the challenge cup?

Amateur clubs no longer make any money out of the Challenge Cup,in a lot of cases it costs them,this year the early rounds were scheduled when some clubs were only just returning to training. Again timing of County matches have coincided with NCL play offs which have prevented a lot of the best players turning out for Cumbria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
