NRL market watch: Nathan Brown set to join Jason Ryles coaching team at Parramatta Eels, Raiders hooker Danny Levi to test open market

Incoming Eels coach Jason Ryles has taken the first major step in his Parramatta rebuild, with a former NRL mentor set to join his coaching team in 2024. See the latest transfer news.

Phil Rothfield
and
Michael Carayannis

Jason Ryles has taken the first major step in his Parramatta Eels rebuild program by all-but securing former St George-Illawarra, Newcastle Knights and New Zealand Warriors coach Nathan Brown.
The pair played one season together in the Red V jersey in 2000 and Brown then coached Ryles between 2003 and 2008 when he was head coach at the Dragons.
Brown’s 475 games of head-coaching experience in the NRL and the UK Super League will be invaluable for Ryles as he sets about rebuilding the Eels.
He is expected to sign the deal in the next few days and be in charge of attack.

Phil Hillyard
Brown has also been previously involved at Parramatta. In 2022 he was hired as coaching director of the club’s elite pathways programs.
He was there to oversee the emergence of young guns Blaize Talagi, Matt Arthur, Ethan Sanders and Charlie Guymer.
Brown may have lacked success as an NRL head coach but he is respected around the game for his shrewd tactical nous.
Ryles has also signed Scott Wisemantel, the former attack coach for the Wallabies and the England rugby union teams.
Ryles has moved on the Eels’ acting head coach Trent Barrett, who will be joining the Broncos under Kevin Walters.
The Eels head of high performance, Trent Elkin, is also leaving.

Smart move getting Brown back he knows our Juniors so can help Ryles in selecting which ones to bring up.

Would also know what BA was doing as a coach which hopefully helps Ryles with lessons learnt!

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Seems like a good move
Very experienced and knows our set up. A great appointment

I thought that Nathan Brown was shuffled out of the club along with his juniors report that was shredded ?

You thought right. Funny how he is now welcome back. I wonder what has changed?

I know what you are saying, but is that reality ?

Your version: Something something Brad Arthur.

More likely: Brown is offered a higher paid and far more challenging and rewarding role at the eels.

MON has a LOT to answer for. He might not have coached the NRL team (and that guy is gorne), but FFS there has been some catastrophic failures also on his watch.

no doubt

im just trying to get a grasp on the organisational structure. The other team i follow in the NFL, the general manager sits above the head coach. infact the general manager is in complete control of the roster not the head coach.

 

[Gherkin]

We bring in Nathan Brown and Trent Barrett leaves so that he isn't slapped again. It's time to bring in Danny Williams

Roster FFS, is there another club that only has 26/27 players in their top 30 two years in a row ? Is that BA ? MON ? R&R Committee ? Doesn't matter, shit has to change. Shake them up JR.
