Definitely worth a listen if you have some time on your hands. Josh talks about Parra's pathway system, his role and ambition as a coach, and briefly about Ryles coming in as coach.

Just listened to the podcast from minute 1:14 - 1:27, this relates to parra - 13 Parra juniors taking a cognitive test to figure out how to receive and process information. Hodgo looks to be really enjoying the coaching role, also praised James Sheppard for the work he is doing with pathways - gave Ryles a wrap and it's great to hear the club recruiting good people at eels HQ, really positive vibes around the club now exciting times ahead I have no doubt.
Yeah, definitely good signs. I don't know much about James Sheppard, but he sounds like he's making a big difference.
Shepherd joined the Wests Tigers in 2004 as coach of the Jersey Flegg (under 20's) team. He stayed there until the end of 2007. He then joined the Melbourne Storm (in 2008 and 2009) as their Recruitment Consultant. In 2011, he joined the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks as the Toyota Cup cup
In 2014 he was elevated to caretaker coach of the Cronulla Sharks first grade side following the resignation of caretaker coach Peter Sharp. He served in this role until head coach Shane Flanagan returned from his twelve-month suspension at the end of that season.[2] In his first match in charge the Sharks came from 24-0 down in the first half to defeat the reigning premiers Sydney Roosters 30-28 in what was described as "One of the most incredible victories in the history of the Cronulla club – and quite possibly the NRL." They won the match despite having captain Paul Gallen and senior player Luke Lewis unavailable for selection due to State of Origin commitments and despite having terminated the contract of key playmaker Todd Carney in the week preceding the match in addition to it being Shepherd's debut.[3]
In 2018, he joined the Newcastle Knights coaching staff as an assistant coach.[4] Following the departure of Nathan Brown of Head Coach of the Newcastle Knights in 2019, Shepherd was released from his contract at the conclusion of the 2019 NRL Season.[5]
On 8 November 2019, it was announced the Shepherd will be joining St. George Illawarra as an Assistant Coach.[6]
