Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

[Gary Gutful]

And put an experienced coach in Brown along side him.

Agree that this was a good move.

lol Griffen, he’s a bigger fraud than Bea Arthur.

some of us wanted Flanagan but he was too toxic apparently. Look at the job he did with a very crap Saints squad??

I was keen on Bennett but the more I think about it I don’t think we have the squad to challenge atm and we all know his record once he leaves. We have given Ryles a 4 year deal plenty of time to turn this ship around and be challenging for a title.

 

[T.S Quint]

One thing that doesn’t sit well is that our two most consistent players over the last few years - Gutho and RCG are either gone or likely to be gone. I get the need to rebuild but question whether it is a smart move not to have them both part of a transition over the next couple of years.

I don't think Gutho is going anywhere. At least for next season.

I think it’s a very good move, best we could do with a rookie coach. All the Retread options didn’t inspire me at all bar Bennett. I think Holbrook can coach but he’s probably a bit gunshy taking a new head job so quickly.

 

[Gronk]

I think Holbrook can coach but he’s probably a bit gunshy taking a new head job so quickly.

He was coming and then he apparently he heard about you.

 

[Eel candy]

Every coach was a rookie once and JR is probably the most experienced rookie out there. He also played the game at the highest level. I’m sure he’ll do well here in charge.

I gave the bald fraud 4 years, I think I can give Ryles at least 4 rounds??

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The same people doubting Ryles are the same people who championed the Bald fraud for 11 years. It’s weird.

Arthur proved his quality in 2019-2023.

 

[hineyrulz]

Arthur proved his quality in 2019-2023.

Yeah he did, average at best.

I wonder what Flanagan or Madge could have done with that squad??

 

[Poupou Escobar]

A 30% Trent Barrett made us look like the Harlem Globetrotters in attack without a genuine 7.

No team scored more points in a game this year against Penrith then what we did at Commbank.

The way we played without Moses since origin has me more confident next year that we will surprise a few. We looked sharper with the ball then what we have looked for a long time.

We were severely undercoached and too comfortable in whatever roles the players had with the previous regime.

We scored more tries last year as well since Barrett came in. This is why clubs have assistant coaches, because the head coach can’t focus on everything.

Unfortunately the extra tries were scored from taking more risk with the ball, which proved to be our undoing. With less possession our defence suffered.

 

[T.S Quint]

Seems like our defence suffered even when we had possession.

Got them to concede 44 to an even crapper squad to choke out of the finals?
Pissed off their best player?

 

[emjaycee]

Apparently getting a team to the finals is a win for the coach, unless it's the Eels coach.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah he did, average at best.

So better than nearly 100% of rookie coaches, as well as a few with experience.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Seems like our defence suffered even when we had possession.

We had top four defence in 2020 and 2021. The high completions no doubt were a big part of it. They can’t run without the ball. Or they can, but no merkin gives a shit.

Apparently getting a team to the finals is a win for the coach, unless it's the Eels coach.

But Flanagan didn’t get a team to the finals

 

[T.S Quint]

But Flanagan didn’t get a team to the finals

And yet he’s getting talked up here.
Weird.

No need to start trolling mate. BA turned out shit, and you know it.

 

[hindy111]

40 years of history. Can’t see a rookie coach being able to successfully navigate all the bullshit that comes with the role.

I think he enters a good time.
Storm still.have a maybe a few powerfull years but Munster and Hughes are getting old.
Penrith are on the down.

Who else is there that worries you? Ryles also gets his halves in peak years.

One ok final series. But still got flogged twice during them 13+
