Paddy Ryder

Whos selecting him?
If hes solo ruck theres no reason he couldnt go 95+ which would most likely be F6, at worst case R3/F7 by end of the year.
With the lack of forwards 95 average will be top 6 forwards.
Considering starting him

Ryder is like a yo-yo. He will score 140 for a month and follow it up with a month of 60's. I think he can dip in price around his bye and we can grab him then as ruck cover.

The other thing is he is a lock to miss games. It could be through suspension or injury. The one thing that worries me with a lot of the boys returning is that with fatigue it could lead to soft tissue injuries. They haven't been playing at this intensity in a while, if they have a history of soft tissue injuries they could flare up during the season. Ryder is one of those guys.

I like him but I had him in my rucks and his round 9 bye put me off him because there's no starting ruck rookies (not inc witts because he's too expensive to be on the bench).

I think Nank is a little too expensive so I don't have him for the fwd link, but if I were all over nank then I'd have paddy in the rucks for sure. I also have another rd9 bye premo which means that having 2 premos out in rd 9 is too much..
