Is Ryan Papenhuyzen the new Billy Slater?

[Life's Good]

On speed across the park I’d say yes but until he karate kicks opponents whilst taking bombs, leads with the legs to save a try or ridicules someone with depression then, on balance, it’s a no from me.

 

[T-Boon]

He's got a bit of Lt Aldo Raine about it him.

Whats the worst thing about fightin in a basement?

 

[Grapple]

Good find. Originally I thought he looked like Matt Dillion in Something about mary but this is much better

Haha, yes I can see the Matt Dillion comparison it's the teeth and the little mo'.

The Netherlands could possibly build a team around Ryan Papenhuyzen in time for the 2025 Rugby League World Cup.

Ryan Papenhuyzen has already been approached by the Netherlands RFL according to one of my Dutch mates.

Billy Slater wouldn't have been caught dead playing with a bunch of pseudo-dutch flogs, so no, definitely not.

 

[Tenacious Titans]

Saw the thread title and just knew it had to be another gem by Albert.

 

[Hawkins]

The guy is sensational. He can cut most defences to ribbons. He will surely become the permanent full back at Melbourne Storm very soon.

He has Billy Slater 2.0 written all over him.

No he seams friendly and Billy played like a funt.

Funniest moment in the GF last year when they boo'ed Slater off the park. He said he didn't care. Smith and Bellamy had a tantrum at the presser said it was disrespectful. Guess Billy was crying into his XXXX and they just couldn't keep it to themselves.

Amazing player sure but he played like a dog a bit much, don't mark this kid with the same brush yet, maybe he'll be more professional.

The Netherlands will use Ryan Papenhuyzen as the linchpin of their attempt to unseat Australia as world champions in the 2025 World Cup.

 

[Someguy]

All were cheap pickups and played at least as well as they did at the Storm.

True that O’niell actually played some of his best football for the cowboys (He’s tries per game halved but more to do with teams different style) was possibly the worst player to be selected for origin while at the storm.

I’m going side with you on bringing down the good players turn shit after leaving the storm myth. The only exceptions being Blair and waqa, waqa being a strange buy anyways, 1st choice at storm to being about 5th in line for a spot in a solid raiders team.

Kerrod Holland is the lynchpin. Papa will be lucky to ride the pine

Now I know you're FOS. You don't have mates.

Who?

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

I will go one further.

Just as Billy Slater will surely be voted by the NRL as an Immortal in 5 years, so too will the Dutch-Australian Melbourne Storm flyer Ryan Papenhuyzen in 2036 or 2040 (depending on when he retires).

I have called it now. You have read it here now.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

f**k off imbecile.

It was almost funny once.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Ryan Papenhuyzen has "international superstar" written all over him.

 

[SBD82]

Ryan Papenhuyzen has "international superstar" written all over him.

Of course he does.

Papenhuyzen means “international superstar” in an obscure Dutch dialect.

The literal translation is “this is my house”, however the saying has been used as a synonym for international superstar since Europe first moved from the city-state to the system of nations that we know today.

 

[Silent Knight]

Ryan Papenhuyzen has "international superstar" written all over him.

And you have "village idiot" written all over you.

At the time Sisa was a good buy for the Raiders. Couldn't attract any decent players and he actually signed and didn't back out of the deal. Played some really good footy to begin with and I'm sure the players around him learnt a lot from him. He looked to be one of the few in the backline that actually knew what his role was. Then the gambling shit became too much, sadly.

Back on topic: Ryan Papenhuyzen.

He should be a star just for his name alone. And his Dutch heritage means that we can use him to help grow the game in Netherlands and beyond. What's not to like?
