Luke Ryan has been groomed for a few years now to replace Michael Johnson at CHB and, after a delayed start this season to make sure his problematic foot was healthy, he has done just that. As with all CHBs his primary responsibility is to stop the opposition's focal point, but like many of his contemporaries he can tend to get involved a lot in uncontested marking as his side dawdles on how to get the ball into attack. This has made him a popular and cheap target in salary cap competitions, though starting him might be too risky week to week if you can avoid it.
