FOR those who don't know who he is, Warren Ryan is best remembered as the rugby league coach who cost Balmain the 1989 grand final by replacing two of the greatest forwards of the modern era - Steve Roach and Paul Sironen - just before the game went into extra time against the Raiders. These days, Ryan taps out a column for the Newcastle Herald and provides commentary alongside David Morrow on the ABC - at least when he is awake. Last week, Ryan attacked Australia's most senior selector Bob Fulton in a wildly uninformed column in his Newcastle newspaper. So on his way to Homebush last Sunday to cover the football for 2GB, Fulton stopped by a chemist to purchase a box of No-Doze tablets. He walked into the ground, tapped on the door of the ABC box, before entering and presenting Ryan with the tablets - hoping they may at least keep him awake and help him with his accuracy next time around.
Uh huh.
