Beau Ryan (2013-2014) – 22 Games, 7 Tries
Beau Ryan’s legacy in the game of Rugby League will forever be his comedic role on The NRL Footy Show. However, what gets largely forgotten, is that Beau was actually a fairly decent footy player as well.
Spending the majority of his career at the Wests Tigers (2007-2012), the crafty winger had quick wheels and a sensational knack for scoring, especially with his trademark grubber and chase close to the line.
One might say – Beau Knows how to find a Try…… HA HA HA laughing face emojis all-round.
His most famous Cronulla Sharks contribution will always be scoring the infamous 7th tackle try in the 2013 knockout final against NQ Cowboys. That gaff was true Rugby League comedy at its most innocent, thus Ryan finding himself as the man to score it was like a gift from the Rugby League Gods.
God Bless You, Beau.
Did You Know: In late 2014, the year injury forced his playing retirement, he managed to release a rap single titled ‘Where You From?’ featuring Justice Crew.
