Well obviously they think the problem were those above Ryles in Sarantinos, O'neill and Rodgers. And also a facelift in his assistants.
There's no doubt that Parramatta had the worst administration and football operations in the league. It didn't take long for Matt Beach to see that these clowns needed to be ousted. Ive always liked Ryles. He just needs professionals around him.
In saying that, I also acknowledge what BA had to put up with.

Parramatta coach Jason Ryles is deep in negotiations about a contract extension beyond 2028. Ryles has one of the toughest jobs in rugby league – ending the Eels’ four-decade wait for a premiership, the longest in the NRL. But the Eels have confidence in the coach.
Some in the media doubt Ryles will see out his four-year deal, but that contrasts with Parramatta’s thinking.
This column has had two reports of meetings between Eels chairman Matthew Beach and Ryles’ agent, George Mimis.
We sought comment about the negotiation and received nothing back.
Ryles was the hottest coaching prospect on the market when Parramatta snapped him up in 2024. And the club have not changed their opinion of his ability. In fact, it has only grown after seeing him up close.
It’s why they want to extend him. It would also take him out of the running to replace Craig Bellamy, who has indicated he will only do the Melbourne coaching job for one more year.
Ryles would be a natural fit for the gig at the Storm, having previously spent time as an assistant coach under Bellamy. However, he is still building the roster he wants at Parramatta. The likes of Spencer Leniu and potentially Bradman Best could follow 2027 Eels recruits Jarome Luai and Jayden Su’A.
The key to the Eels remains unlocking the club’s vast junior base and making sure they have a steady flow of talent coming into their top 30.

Yeah I agree. Hopefully MON & Rogers go too
