Booooommmm....More to come...
The Melbourne Storm are open to the possibility of releasing Jason Ryles from his contract effective immediately in a move that would allow the new Parramatta coach to start planning for life at the Eels in 2025.
Ryles and his management are expected to meet with Storm officials after State of Origin III to discuss the potential of an early release from his deal that would allow him to put his entire focus on rebuilding the struggling Parramatta.
Ryles’ job title at the Storm is coaching coordinator and his likely departure won’t have a major impact on Craig Bellamy’s premiership assault given he has three assistant coaches (son Aaron Bellamy, Marc Brentnall and Ryan Hinchcliffe).
A Melbourne official confirmed the club would hold conversations with Ryles this week with one eye on him finishing up at the Storm by Friday.
Parramatta are aware of the situation and have no intention of asking Ryles to get involved with interim coach Trent Barrett’s team in 2024.
Ryles is keen to get his feet under the desk and begin planning his staff and roster for 2025. The first big ticket item will be trying to convince boom rookie Blaize Talagi to stay at the club beyond the end of this season after he declined an option in his contract to remain at Parramatta next year.
Ryles will attempt to meet with Talagi over the next 48 hours to sell his vision for the club and entice him to remain at the Eels.
The Dragons are also circling and are planning to meet with Talagi and his family this week with both clubs having the week off with the bye.St George Illawarra officials have shown a keen interest in also signing Talagi’s younger brother as part of a package deal to lure them to the Red V to be part of coach Shane Flanagan’s impressive rebuild.

Or even worse , A Tesla . I chuckle everytime I drive past a person pretending to be a male driving a Tesla.
They love my Holden Calais bogan mobile idling next to them at the lights at its 18lL per 100kms fuel consumption .
Ciraldo was handed a team with multiple Grand Finalists and premiership winners to work with . Ryles will get a team with one bloke that's won a GF , a Bradbury one at that . Ciraldo has got a club that is decisive and respect themselves. We have a club that begs on their knees for players to stay , even kids that can can hardley catch a ball without it looking like Benny Hill music should be playing in the background.
our club are weak knee'd and seems like a wife waiting at home with her hubbies slippers , pipe and paper for him to return from a weekend away with his mistress.
Over time he was, not straight away. If you think everything is all sunshine and rainbows over with the bulldogs maybe you should have followed Mahoney over Wiz
Ill reiterate - wait and see what happens before screaming 'I told you so, we're shit'. the guy hasnt even started ffs, if history repeats, then cancel your membership if you have and switch off
It's not the time for baz slapping Videos or oneil hits that's for shaw
Suppose melb don't want to be in a position like the dolphins. Plus he might do recruiting and disrupt the teams goal for the yr. At work, when someone resigns, I like to walk them out on full pay. Last thing I want to hear is I'm going somewhere else on better pay etc etc. It gets ppl thinking
