globalrugbyleague - Thu, 02 Aug 2007 08:35:00 GMTBulldogs captain Andrew Ryan will play his former Eels teammates in round 21 after being cleared last night of a ‘tackle that went wrong’.
The 186-game veteran known also as ‘bobcat’ defused a possible 2-match suspension after being cited for an alleged careless high-tackle on Dragons second-rower Jason Ryles last weekend.
Ryan’s counsel argued successfully that he had just 0.2 of a second to adjust the tackle as Ryles was falling.
“I did make contact but I wouldn’t say I’m surprised at the verdict,” Ryan victoriously proclaimed after the hearing.
Eels fans – who were secretly hoping for an easy win over the Bulldogs this weekend –are thought to be ‘disappointed’ with the result.
Canterbury will play Parramatta on Friday night minus a host of injured key stars including Willie Mason.
Ryan has only lost once against his former side since joining Canterbury in 2003.
