Good move, 100% this guy can coach. Shittest roster in the comp and we've competed with the best of them. Just wait till 2028 when we have a decent team

The Eels have literally went backwards and been out of contention early each season. Note this record does not establish Ryles "can't coach", but it does establish that we have yet to see promise turn into sustained competitiveness. Hence any early renewal remains a risky call.
So 11th place last year and dropping to 13th place this year warrants a contract extension?
Ok.
So if we finish below 13th next year, does Ryles get a 10 year extension?
Did they not learn from BA who they said was the one to deliver us the title.
Put Wayne Bennett in control and not much changes. I'm glad the club are giving Ryles a chance, but they need to back that up with a strong roster in order to have any chance of success.
Not unhappy about this. If they think he has started the journey he outlined in his job application then they need to give him the time and ammo to at least give it a red hot go.
If he fails to get there by the end of this extension then he gets the boot.
WHY! I don't see any other clubs wanting to sign him at this stage. Extending the contract of a coach, who has not got his side into the finals is not only accepting mediocrity but rewarding it. Ryles might have success in the future, but our sample size of 2 years has been a failure. The current roster for 2027 is average at this stage. A top 8 finish next year would take a super coaching performance.
Yeah Slippery I understand your thoughts. He has 2 years left, I would have seen how 2027 goes before extending. There was no real rush.
But at the same time, signed til 2030, the last year is usually a club option anyway, that's common in NRL coaching contracts.
Only thing I could theorize is maybe they felt maybe Melbourne wanted him to replace Bellamy? But even then not sure that happens.

Ryles has shown absolutely nothing to warrant a extension yet our current board who have bottom of barrel standards for the club want to extend a coach who has achieved zero.
This board is Parramatta s biggest problem and they show this year after year. Go the Chooks .
