Fair point Harold. (welcome back, by the way)
However, if you are looking for a half back, to back up a chance created by any of your fifteen, I would back Ryan against any of them. For me, it's all about horses for courses, (Charlie would know all about that kind of thing) and pace is one of the attributes we don't possess a lot of. While we had Ryan on loan, John Duffy was utilising him the way he was used in the 'early days'. I would think we would have to find a place for him - although not at the expense of Gregg, Josh or Riddy!

Alan you are so right about horses for courses, I backed a horse tonight Fox Vardy at Windsor, it just won, the Trainer said it hated the course, but would win easily on a straight course.
Ryan has improved his game since he left Leigh,his passing is quicker, he reads a game better,and still has the speed and cockiness to try the unexpected,I’d have him back in a heartbeat, he regards the LSV as his home, and for me is still a Leyther.
