Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

[Eelementary]

What's our excuse when at full strength in Round 1?

We are bound to have plenty of excuses - it's in our DNA.

 

[TheParraboy]

We finished last year with 5 wins from our last 7 including against the eventual premiers. Do you think that was a fluke?
I’m not surprised we’re getting touched up with a side full of reserve graders. There’s a reason why they’re reserve graders.

Wasnt the back up reserve graders though

Moses, Williams, Penisini, Paulo, Walker = all our leaders, played poorly, when they all needed to lead the way

Moses that first 30min was absolutely horrid

Most of us can cop a loss, if we put in , but when your leaders are lackluster, it looks and hurts considerably more...

 

[Gary Gutful]

I hope he goes OK, but I’m not feeling it.

Still not feeling it.

What's our excuse when at full strength in Round 1?

We had a poor game against the Round 1 specialists at their home ground. We beat the defending premiers at their home ground the very next week with a near full strength team.

I agree. When your leaders play like that then they can’t cover for the inadequacies of the reserve graders.

Main issue is our lack of depth. Other clubs could have dealt with our injury toll, but not us.

Tbh mate, depth wouldnt have helped today. Maybe brought the scoreline closer sure..

When you best players dont put in as we know they can, then we really need the other mob to play worse to get a win..

I don’t completely disagree. Depth is our main issue, but we have plenty of other issues.

Our defence in the middle has also been bad when we’ve been at full strength but conceding 52 against the Titans is a new low.

It's the quality of the depth too. Ours is horrendous and any players with any potential talent have been TCT'd.

We lose almost every tackle. That’s on the coaching staff

Our fitness is a massive issue, we play every like we had just won a Semi final in Townsville in September.

Who gives a shit about last year, means fk all today

It’s part of Ryles’ coaching tenure

Need Jake Arthur to give us some pointers, you reckon?

Actually, that's not fair - Jake is a limited player, but he has a go every time he plays, unlike some of the pretenders in the Blue and Gold now.

 

[The Predictor]

Please let’s not let injuries deviate the crisis that his happening at the moment, many teams have injuries but also have intestinal fortitude to overcome their circumstances. panthers have lost how many over the years and are still winning premierships, we are a curse on the game of league

Okay, go and watch those replays waving ur little flag, and pretend the joint isn’t going down in flames

I'd take Jake Arthur over Pissant.

So was today

I never denied that things are dire. I’m saying that we don’t have enough information to say whether Ryles can coach or not.

I honestly dont know why there are so many injuries, whether its a fitness thing or not, but to your point, not just Panthers, Roosters somehow managed it and made the finals.
