Eels in the media

So coach Jason Ryles invited Gold Coast-based old warhorse and club legend Ray Price to Suncorp.

The stats don’t lie: Dumping Brown the best coaching decision of 2025

It seemed a big call at the time, but the decision by Eels coach Jason Ryles to dump the defecting Dylan Brown was a masterstroke.

^^ weird article. It concedes that the form reversal was because Moses returned. Then jibbers on about not a lot.

Yes, Brown’s been lazy. Yes, giving prospective 5/8ths a go is a good idea cos our season is toast.

However it does not prove what the headline suggests, that we are a better team without him.

Anyway, unless we actually play him soon I don’t see the point in naming him. If he is 18th man and someone goes down early, he won’t have any match time in him for weeks and weeks. What’s the point here ?

It’s a good article which exposes how much Newcastle have paid for an overhyped flop. A player who gives better efforts to TikTok than his team. I have never seen a player with so much natural talent go MIA in games like him

I'm all for The Ryles Revolution including his actions in not picking Brown.
I will add though, I reckon Brown should be at least playing Cup even if it's from the bench.
Watching Joashs errors V Canberra, I reckon if Brown plays that game our boys were a massive chance of winning.

Wow, he didn't miss Brown in that article... and as he said, the stats don't lie.

I still think we're a better side with a Moses/Brown combo but totally get the decision made to move on from it.

Perhaps the wording would be better as “ we should be a better side with Moses/Brown”. To be fair he’s been almost invisible and seemed a little disinterested in being involved physically this season.

Really disappointed as like most was a huge fan of Dylbro, but he’s become a mere shadow of his original form , sad .

Dylan at his best we may have won the other night.

But at the end of the day we haven't seen Dylan's best for 2 years so expecting him now to hit some sort of form was fanciful.

I don't think many fans are losing sleep over not picking Dylan.

 

[Pazza]

I'm not convinced Dylan's presence in the team would make a huge difference in our results over the last few weeks.

Shame cause he's a hugely talented player, but doesn't seem to keen on building on his craft.

The article is bang on. Easily the most overrated player the game has seen in recent memory. Plus being a one dimensional peanut hasn’t helped him.

Most neutrals on Reddit see the article for what it is.

Should they be directed to my visionary thread about him being overrated? I’m not a Reddit user but surely this is something that Rugby League people need to be aware of, especially the Knights.

Thanks in advance @Gronk

We need the extra clicks.

I apologise in advance for the teenagers interviewing Ryles.

'We needed to change the way we did things' - How Eels are starting to benefit from key pre-season changes - The Continuous Call Team

Parramatta coach Jason Ryles has opened up how the club is starting to reap the benefits of some of the key off-season changes the Eels made both internally and with recruitment.

Seriously, those blokes are a disgrace.

I listen to Triple M on a Sunday arvo before the game. Sure they have a laugh and a bit of banter, but the footy talk is still serious.

Do people still listen to that crap on 2GB?

If only there was a poster of influence who wasn’t scared to speak his mind fully
