Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

[EelEtric]

Why it mattters is that we have the same coach as in 2022. What's changed are the players.

Didn't the 2022 coach get sacked about 2 and half months ago?

 

[hindy111]

Our forwards have been rissoled from the Origin side for their work rate. You think Ryles will change that?

They are old and passed it now. Its why 2 of Papali'i,Stone,Kafusi and Marata. The young bucks had to be kept over RCG,LANE,MATTO,JNR

 

[T-Boon]

The first thing he should do as coach is tell the club they won’t be playing in the white jerseys any more. Then he should sack Mark O’Niell. Next he should announce the parramatta light rail is open.

the second thing he should do after these 3 things is get out there to Rooty Hill and finish off the Centre of Excellence so we can get excellent.

f**k *off!!

Well they can’t just sack players because of salary cap implications. That’s why you need to be careful who you sign or retain. Listen to O’Sullivan on the Dolphins doco. Throwing overs around can hurt you for years. Believe it or not, contracts actually are worth the paper they’re written on. Most of them are worth even more.

We might not have made the 2022 grand final if we didn’t extend the senior players after 2021. Broncos prioritised youth and look at them now. Very inconsistent.

 

[Gary Gutful]

All of the dogshit about a new coach is irrelevant if we dont hire a proper HOF. Absolutely embarrasing the way that MON has been stinking up the joint.

Dean Ritchie is setting Ryles up for a fail.

if he doesn’t win a comp and cure cancer, then it’s all for nothing.

He's kind of got a point, though - if Ryles doesn't succeed by winning a competition (or at least, setting the club up to be in a genuine position to win one), then we will move him on, just like we have done with so many other coaches.

The way Chammas describes it is probably overly dramatic, but the crux of his argument is salient, imo.

 

[Eelementary]

I do like that line - "he's the 11th coach since John Monie in 1986."

So, they want us to think that 11 coaches over 38 seasons is bad? That's an average lifespan of over 3 years per coach. That's pretty average, tbh.

So by that metric, Brad Arthur did a great job up to 2022 and then we had to let him go 18 months later.

Because a casual reader on here would conclude that BA was shit for 11 years.

That's not something I'll ever say about BA.

I agree with Pou's sentiments - he's a good coach.

But I think he had simply become tired, stale, and had run out of ideas.

He had some high points, and some low points, but he definitely had success.

I think one of his biggest failures was not capitalising on the success of our 2022 season, and "going on with it".

Granted, he had a crisis with injuries, which mitigated that to an extent.

Good, balanced summation.

He’s only saying what the deadshit fans will be saying within a couple of years.

I actually think in ‘22 we were already in decline, but finally had some luck in Townsville. The 2020-21 teams were the peak. Last year we were a merkinhair from making the finals, but would’ve only been making up the numbers. I think this year many of the players have given up because they’ve realised it’s over. They missed their chance. Is that Arthur’s fault? The club seems to think so, and it’s their call to make.

 

[84 Baby]

Did I read that Ryles only job as an actual head coach was with same team called the Western Red Dogs or some such?
That’s not a lot to go off.

so they just collectively said f#&k it......... we had a crack, didnt happen so we're just not going to bother anymore????

That’s exactly what it looks like. It’s what happens when you assemble and molly coddle a bunch of weak ‘leaders’. Fine until the going gets tough.

How does it look to you? Our senior forwards are among our worst players this year. The floggings in Canberra and Darwin were what giving up looks like. Recent pressers with Lane and RCG haven’t looked like leadership either.
