Not the best skill wise and he had the physique of a pub player. But the guy always seemed to give 100% and looked like he bought into the ethos of the club. He has served us well in his short time with us, so many thanks Matt.

Ryan was in some ways the new Kevin Henderson.
Always gave 100%, not always spectacular but, always worked his socks off.

Good luck lad.

He was a better player than he was ever given credit for and his attitude was spot on, just the type of player needed in a relegation fight. Strange to make this decision now to bring in a reserve grade winger. It wouldn't surprise me if he turned up at one of our relegation rivals and bit us on the backside. Good luck to the guy.

Good luck Matty

And we never did manage to get him a shirt that fit him.

Or a pair of shorts

An unspectacular player, but always seemed ready to put in a good, tough shift; I never saw him shirk, even during thrashings. One import who can certainly look himself in the eye and not wonder if he was nicking a wage.

I'm concerned though - does that leave us down on our ginger quota?

It would have been nice to thank him and those that have already left but for some reason this was not an option available to the supporters. I wonder if anyone knows what his plans are and did he jump or was he pushed.

As far as I can see

I am sure Washbrook is out of contract hence the rumour he is returning to Hull.

Thought Shulver had gone?

You are probably right. I couldn't remember

Sorry to see Matt go, always played with 100%.

Funny one, this one. He always tried hard, but I'd like to think I would, but you wouldn't want me in the team. I'm more curious about the reason. Is another club involved, or has he just had enough and fancies a few months around Europe before he went home (didn't sideshow semifinal-wrecking Bob take off on a bike when he left Wakey)

Josh Charnley will be happy. He can reclaim his "scruffiest person in Super League" title.

Looking at his Twitter account it does not appear he knew it was coming. I guess the Wakefield Trinity secret service will never divulge why and reading the club's comments he only receives the standard much used phrases despite the service he provided.

Can I have a pint of that appears strong stuff

Me too, what's that all about?

They have been making random posts regarding London Broncos on other sites forums too.
I've moved it now

He's not gone yet. He had his usual spot at Trinity Walk with the rest of the overseas boys earlier today. Tupou was there as well i think? If not it was someone who looked like him.
Costa must make a fortune out of 'em.

Matt Ryan has gone because the club were not going to offer him a new deal for next year, so he's been released early. One of the few whole hearted players in the squad, not offered a new deal, seems strange to me.....

Is that so

by gum,what people know hey

Seems to be a story here....

Looks like he might have signed for Bradford if you look at the blurry photo on there Twitter feed...

James Clare from Castlefoed and Matt Ryan from Wakefield signing for Bradford

How's he gone this year? From the bits that I saw last year of him he looked one of your best forwards so I was surprised to see him be released the other day. Even more surprised to see him end up at Bradford, didn't see that one coming at all.
