Ryan Out for the Season : Tue Jul 22, 2014 5:38 pm  

Apparently Matt Ryan has been bravely playing with a severe shoulder injury which affects his ability to grip the ball and make tackles. Now that we"re safe he is having an opperation to fix it but will be ruled out for the remainder of the season. James Webster also says that safe or not, Ryan could not be asked to put his body on the line again this season, he's gone above and beyond the call of duty to ensure we are safe and can't do it anymore.

He's been a great addition to our team this year and along with Moore is a player who I could not level a single complaint at in terms of his attitude and desire even when we were at our worst.

enjoy the time off Matt and see you next season

He injured shoulder a few weeks ago. Glad hes being given time to recover. His effort has been outstanding this season.

Been great all season, for a bloke that looks more like a scarecrow than a rugby player.
Could be the Ginger Gareth Ellis?

Against widnes he was holding his arm after a tackle , he got back up and tackled the next man, puts his heart and sole into the game . Love his attitude ..

A top guy who is in my top 3 for man of the season. Good luck Matt and see you in 2015

He'll be a big miss.
The guy has given his all this season, even when we were struggling.
Good luck for a speedy recovery !

As others have stated a person who plays 100% every second he is on the field. Glad he is getting it sorted out ready for next season. Also, people who moaned at him knocking on Sunday now understand why. I noticed in numerous games all this season he has been holding his arm due to a shoulder problem.
Goodluck and speedy recovery Matt.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - one of the best value imports we've had in ages; came with little fanfare, pulled on the jersey and has given 100% for the club in every game he's played - even when others around him weren't.

This sounds like a good decision by JW - if he comes back fully fit for next season, I can't imagine him doing anything other than more of the same; speedy recovery!

Backs up why some of the fans on the Parramatta board were disappointed he was allowed to leave.
