Across 68 matches Ryan shows up as a quietly indispensable workhorse, averaging five tackles per game and accumulating over 340 in total — a volume that points to a prop who does the unglamorous defensive heavy lifting week after week. His carrying numbers are modest per game, as you would expect from a tighthead, but his single-game peaks of 11 carries and 19 tackles reveal the capacity to step up when the match demands more from him.
