Smart decision, he needs to feel comfortable to get the best out of this roster. Looks like they have big plans to get some players in for 2028. Those players want to know who their coach will be in order to sign. Someone like Best won't sign if they don't have some security on what the joint will look like during his contract at the club. It's a strategic signing and it's smart, good decision by the board.
Ryles’ 40% win rate has come under the immense duress of having to oversee:
• the largest clean-out in the club’s history • working under complete failures in Sarantinos, O’Neill and Rodgers, who were responsible for accepting such poor standards and dismantling the roster • dealing with what has arguably been the worst run of injuries in the NRL by a considerable margin
A 40% win rate under those circumstances is actually a pretty solid return. More importantly, he’s now building the roster he wants, setting the standards he expects and laying the foundations with having a clear path for development into the nrl - unllike brad arthur who used reserve grade as a home for nomads

Parramatta should always be a pathways club, not the shit we had in reserve grade before Ryles arrived
I think one the reasons for extending Ryles would be to provide more certainty to those looking at signing with the club come Nov 1st. Having Ryles signed long term, beyond '28, might give the club a better chance at securing a couple of major signings.
I am also hoping the club would have some performance reated clauses to ensure the coach is fulfilling his KPI's.

"You have identified it Adam, we could argue for ever on the subjectives, but I believe your big picture is right.
Many on here cannot see that big picture overview, they are too busy counting the number of testicles each new recruit has."

Agree he needs more time to clean up the cesspool that was left behind by BA and Sarantinos.
