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.
