Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

My hunch is Smith & Hayne had a personality clash. We know Brian didnt get on well with what i would call Alpha-type players. Tallis is one to comes to mind weather you like or loathe him he was one. Jarryd probably saw himself as one from a young age.

Looking back 2006 was such a wasted season.

In hindsight Fitzy should have just punted Smith when he decided he wouldn't extend him after the 2005 Prelim disaster

Signing Hagan set the club back a decade.

We havent really nailed a coaching appointment since Brian Smith left. Hopefully Ryles comes up trumps.

Daniel Anderson was probably our best appointment since Brian and he was turfed because of petty politics.

If only he had set us back 2 decades, we would have been back in the mid-80's when things weren't so bad...

I remember being pretty excited by Jakob Loko. Probably the most physically dominant Junior I have seen in the last few years.

He was a brute in Toyota Cup, it was like under 8's pass him the ball and he would score a try.

Came into a struggling first grade team at 18, wasn't mentally ready had off-field dramas and ruined his career.

That's the problem though with all those kids when growing up you pass them the ball and they just score due to size.

They dont actually develop other parts of there game.

Because once they hit the big leagues they are no longer the big kids and are basically one trick ponys who cant steamroll over the little kids anymore because they ain't the big kid.

Very true. He was going to be our SBW. What a fizzer. Same with Pauli Pauli.
