The Rugby Bricks Podcast Episode #11 Show Notes: Ryan Papenhuyzen | Becoming Rugby Leagues Rising Star & Lessons From Billy Slater by Kale Panoho

Ryan Papenhuyzenan is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who plays for the Melbourne Storm in the National Rugby League (NRL), as a fullback.



2019 was a sensational breakout year for Paps at the Storm. He took his opportunity and ran with it - literally - when he made his debut in round four, cementing his place in first-grade with his incredible pace and blistering attack on the line. Averaging 126 meters across 22 games, producing 17 line breaks, nine tries, and five try assists this kid is a freak.



In this episode of the podcast, you'll hear what Ryan learned from Billy Slater, his work ethic and what's separated him from others in NRL and how he's turned into one of the most promising players of 2020 at only 80 kgs.



If you're someone who is looking for inspiration this season you do not need to look any further than this episode as Ryan is world-class and he delivers on this episode.
