2025 First coach sacked

[Bazal]

But you were happy to ride Baldies dick for years lol. How many flogging’s were acceptable under Baldie??? Have a look at the side being trotted out at the moment??

What do you honestly expect?? It’s the selfish senior players who have been the worst. That spine is hot garbage and the bench looked Q Cup standard. Anyway he at least needs 11 seasons to show what he can do huh that’s the standard for this club.

This is the exact shit you and your mates pull, hey

People wanted caution and a decent replacement, not a knee jerk Daniel Anderson sacking and the next Bigface, and that apparently equates to riding the coaches dick. Apparently not wanting the side to get worse is a problem for you lot? Lmao.

Year Hero Bea had 56 put in him in game 2, I’d love to know what you thought after that game?? I bet it wasn’t this coach is shit and we need to get back Sticky.

There you go again. My hero? He was a decent coach and we've replaced him with a guy who doesn't even seem to have a game plan and has said and done precisely zero things to impress anyone over a full off season. All anyone (well, apart from Poutismo) ever said was when we do part ways, sacking or end of contract, let's just make sure we get someone at least the same level if not better and don't f**k the club again.

It's like 9/10 Eels fans don't understand you can have a view that isn't totally black or totally white. Which reading the Eels forum is hardly a surprise I suppose given 9/10 on there are actually insane or stupid. Or both. Or cookers.

Ryles is dealing with a whole culture of ineptitude. If he's given scope to change the whole culture he's a chance, if not he'll be bald within the year.

He needs time weather a fanbase which is closing on 4 decades of failure has the patience to sit through a few more tough years who knows.

The rot in the joint has only been cleaned out a quarter full.

He still has plenty of deadwood from the previous regime on big money not pulling there weight right now.

Some senior players yesterday were taking the piss with there effort and attitude.

Looks like a new sheriff is in town and the underperforming senior players ain't liking the change that has been needed for a long time.

Moses being out has probably dragged us from a 10-11 win season to a 5-6 win season this year tbh if he even gets on the park.

Ha!! Previous bloke got 11 years, 6 seasons after he won a spoon. So you suggest we keep Bradley for years on end until Wobbo, Bennett or a Bellamy are off contract?? It’s f**king been two games without our most important player. It’s hilarious t out your views after defending baldie year on year. Get off the Bentspokes Bruv!!

The only thing I've suggested is you reap what you sow. And plenty of Eels fans deserve this lmao

Moses
Cartwright
JAC
Matterson

Injured or left out. It's a thin squad and it's really noticeable that these guys aren't on the park. Along with RCG gone. Lack of second phase which was their hallmark. Rudderless in the spine.

And blame Brown but the rest of the spine isn't first grade standard. Iongi the best of them and he still makes some whopping mistakes.

I think it’s hilarious how your standards have changed all of a sudden, you been happily banging a 3/10 for a decade but now you’ve broken up you expect your next root to be a 7.

I mean is he safe if he goes 0-12? 0-15? I'm not sure it's ever been a thing before.

As an Eels fan, I've never seen us play so badly. Genuinely. We've had years where the cattle were just awful, but they tried and you could at least see what the coach was trying to get them to do. I get the argument that it's two games in etc, but I haven't seen a single sign of a game plan or a defensive structure from us at all.

But anyone is better than BA @hineyrulz

The Tigers didn't have "line speed" because they simply waited for the Eels.. what I'm saying is not only did they get flogged, but it was by the Tigers and not because the Tigers " turned up " ...
Only 2 games but bloody hell.

I don't know if Jason Ryles will be a good first grade coach or not. But to judge him based on two games is a pretty poor metric to base his coaching on.

Ryles inherited a roster with multiple issues. He had a very costly spine that has been delivering diminishing returns for different reasons. He also had quite the interesting combo of big money forwards that were simply not delivering to their pricetags and is now left with the worst front row rotation in the comp.

I don't blame him for letting go of the two players he did over the offseason. Gutho was on big bikkies and his returns were diminishing. For a club in need of a rebuild, saving a few dollars that way and developing a talent like Iongi is the way forward....not keeping a man with no knees.

Moving on RCG and his salary is fine as well. He seemed pretty busted last year and was poor yesterday.

The hard fact for Parra is that it is going to get worse before it gets better. There are still well and truly some players....particularly in the pack....that need to go.

A rebuild takes time. Lets see what moves Parra make with letting go some dead weight as well as going into the market first before truly judging him.


I will say this.....he was a little bit too cool for school in that presser yesterday...seemed like he just woke up from a nap.
