Jason Ryles named on Storm hit list to replace Bellamy

Parramatta Eels head coach Jason Ryles has been placed on the hit list of the Melbourne Storm who look to replace Craig Bellamy. With talk of Bellamy set to coach is last year in Melbourne in 2026, he will move to role with the Storm remotely or coach the Gold Coast Titans.

Ryles was an assistant in Melbourne before coming to Parramatta. Issues with this link are, firstly he and his family live in Wollongong. They have the whole time he has been coaching. Apparently when he got the job the celebration was he would be home more often being back in Sydney. So would he move to be with Melbourne again full-time? Maybe. Some might say why not go there when assistant but he may not have wanted to move them there if not guarentees of getting HC job at Storm. Secondly, when Ryles was still at Storm, he would have known Bellamy would call it at any point, he could have waited. It was not like we got Ryles out of Melbourne, he wanted the Eels job badly. If he wanted it badly, with Bellamy retiring looming, surely he would have stayed put knowing he would be the front-runner had Bellamy stepped aside.

Of course, media have to bring us into all this. Bellamy moving to Queensland has allowed Titans to catch a lucky break. I wonder if the "He hasn't won a comp withouth Smith" has affected Bellamy to the point he wants to prove it is him and get Titans up and going into a powerhouse.

  • What a disrespectful story. Alledging that Josh Hannah "New 3 year contract" is a stop gap measure at the Titans. That Bellamy would pull the rug out from Hannah and move straight into the coach's box and make Hannah his bitch hhhhmmmmm his assistant coach is just fu$%6d on so many levels.

    Then to throw shit the Eels way with suggestions that Ryles "still 3 years in a contract" would even entertain leaving us after making our club his own is a slap in the face to Eels Management / members and supporters alike. A huge F%^& you to the Blue and Gold intimating that the storm club is a better  fit then us.

    This article is so on the nose that the author didn't even put his/her name to it. Simply written from "Fox Sports". More like a poor Ai article to bait the Storm the Titans and the Eels in one fell swoop. Grow up Fox Sports and actually do some real journalism, instead of this disrespectful crap.

    • Exactly, I have no idea how Titans got Hannay to agree to that clause. I mean if someone like I don't know Jason Taylor got the job he might agree just to get a HC job again. But Hannay? Probably one of the most sought after assistants? He didn't need to do it.

  • Not buying this.

    Dont let chief see this if his hero left Parra after five minutes I think that would destroy him.

    • Nobody will, wanted to put it up as someone would at some point anyway. Ryles wanted Eels job, doubt he just leaves.

  • Next

  • That will be Billy slater for sure lol

    Kevin Walters 

    Trent barret

    Brad Arthur

    Brown

    What's the bloody plan

  • Is mal maninga couching the bears.is that actually true

  • Who's coaching png. Do we need to lock up Brown and cayless.what do we need to do

  • I think there would be some level of hesitancy by whoever takes over from Bellamy given what he's achieved at that club. The constant comparisons and scrutiny would have to make you think twice.

    I don't think Ryles leaves us, even if he's offered that position. He's already achieved so much and as a club we're all in with what he's doing and where we're going.
