2005, May 17 , The West, Photo and Story under headline “Gaerth steps up with style for Tigers”.  Photo of Ryan Gaerth who has proved a versatile and valuable player since making his league debut 6 weeks previous.  Ryan Gaerth might have to change his 2005 goals if he continues in this form.  He has played in the past 6 games since making his league debut against Peel in round 3.  The 21 year old set out to play half the season in the league side but is on track to pass that next month.  Gaerth who was recruited from South Mount Barker juniors said he graduated to the league side sooner than expected.  Only injuries have prevented him from playing more games.
