    Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

    I don't think the coaching is the issue at all. Ive seen a number of players improve a lot over the first 12 months they were here, we've got an attack capable of scoring 30-40 points with a bog average backline. He gets the opportunity to coach. Find out why the attitude and attention to...

    Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

    From my perspective what we are seeing at the moment isn't a coaching issue. It's a reflection of the state of our roster. We have too many guys in our side below 50 first grade games and due to injuries have lost a lot of experience but not only that we have guys in our side who wouldn't be...

    Rumours and Stuff

    6 games into the season and calling for Moses head as captain is crazy. It's a good opportunity for him to lead a side out of a rut .. especially while he is out of form. He has the opportunity to become a better leader over the next month and lets hope he takes it. Instead of idiots on socials...

    Will Penisni development???

    Will is a Union player playing league . His skillset is running at blokes in short yardage. He doesn't have hands, speed, footwork, acceleration , agility, jumping ability .. none of it . If you lined up all 34 starting centres in the comp and put them in a draft he would go somewhere between...

    Rumours and Stuff

    I would say viewing it from the outside its because we're trying to be responsible with the spending and years offered but a club that finished 15th and 11th last 2 years needs to splash the cash to land a big fish. We either have to back our coaching and development and buy strategically or...

    We offered him 900k for 2 reportedly. He took 800k with the option of a 3rd year. Can't say I really blame the club on this one. Offering 3 years to help get it across the line would be irresponsible.

    Rumours and Stuff

    It wasn’t a game to see the best of a guy like DeBelin . It was played at a crazy speed with Parra defending set upon set . I thought he had a couple of tackles where he turtled the guy and slowed it down a bit legally. He’ll be more value to us when the games are actually like footy not...

    Rumours and Stuff

    Will will come up with 1 of 2 defensive howlers a game , 1 or 2 terrible drop balls a game and there’s nothing surer than him not only not finishing off try’s but losing possession attempting to score on the 1st tackle . He didn’t learn his lesson in the trial. Overall a terribly disappointing...

    Rumours and Stuff

    Anyone else hear Braith on his podcast saying he’s been told that Zac has been introduced to all the Storm players and been inside their building. He had no intention of coming back here and Trippin is talking out his ass .

    Rumours and Stuff

    If the courts ruled that way 1. He won’t show up because he’s a small cat but 2. You bring him back and get him training hard and doing everything everyone else is doing and playing Cup on weekends . He won’t last long doing that because see 1. it’s in his best interest to get something...

    That post is probably 100% what’s been shared but it’s just undermining rubbish form people who haven’t bought in and are probably the blokes we’ve been trying to shop for 18 months . Full buy in and development of culture is what’s being preached here and is probably a big reason why Lomax and...

    Rumours and Stuff

    Completely disagree . We play with more organisation / people knowing their roles though Ryles himself has been quoted as saying he wants to score more adlib try’s and wants Moses to be less concerned with what happens on 4th tackle. We had a lot of offloads under BA but also a lot of 5...

    Rumours and Stuff

    I think the sauces speaking to you have been on the sauce. We play less structured now than we did the whole BA era . Forwards all use the ball and the halves are encouraged to play eyes up. The only thing we don’t do are stupid offloads in our own 20.

    Rumours and Stuff

    If it’s true they’re the players you want out of the club anyway. Matterson , Simonsson etc etc sooks like their mate Zachery . Imagine complaining about a professional structured program when you’ve dished up undisciplined rubbish since 2022.

    Rumours and Stuff

    The non compete clause is the reason he got a release . If they rule the clause is void then the release may well be void as well and he’ll be expected to honour his contract until we’re satisfied to give him a full release. If that happens we can all see him breaking his contract and refusing...
