We've said it over and over, his heart is there 100% and he is a really nice guy. He shown character to fight back from terrible poor form that he said was arisen from a car accident, we only have to take his word and except it, as something like that may effect people in different ways.
He hasn't lost too much strength to crash in a tackle, and he can usually find the line from 3 yards out with men in him.
However he has lost a good yard of pace that gives him momentum to break a tackle.
His tackling his good because of his strength, his positioning in defence isn't so efficient.
His career long downside of his game is he seldom has quality of timing and/or accuracy in passing.
Now when you begin to lose a key attribute of pace you need to have something else to offer, like Bridge does, therein lies the problem, he hasn't. Ryan is on a slide that started three seasons ago. Various wingers have come, gone, changed and changed and still the problem remains.
