If this is correct then it is beyond a disgrace and once again reinforces that we have the most clueless board in the game.
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 .

Just remember, Fongy, if Ryles gets the team going in 2027 how will that sit with "only incompetents extended him"? You're this now (over) committed to death riding the team just to stick it to mgmt.
Any fan boxing themselves into a corner where death riding the team is their only way to save face should go over to the Chooks or some other team permanently. Discuss!
When you look at the roster over the past 2 years we were left in bad way due to poor retention on the years prior the squad he inherited was poor. We lose our star five eighth, our big signing decides he wants to sign with rugby we had over 190 weeks of injuries this year. Realistically where did we see our selves finishing? I think we all had blinders on. I don't believe any coach with the cards we were dealt could of delivered a season could of done much better.
"Parrafan, I agree the Eels' injury list in 2026 - and note the Eels had the worst missed-game tally due to injuries of all teams in 2026 - MUST factor in to assessing both the team and Ryles. That said, the Eels were still inconsistent week-to-week,…"
"So what's your strategy? At the outset it is very defined, often limited to a particular individual coming to the club and saving the day. Money isn't an issue - just pay it.
When you get challenged on it you digress off into anything and everything…"

"Fair, Poppa. But Paulo was injured in 2024 as well and his stats didn't drop off the same away. Note we are talking averages not totals in most cases. I just think the stats suggest the reports of chronic knee trouble are probably accurate. "

Most of these extensions have get out clauses for the club and they'll still sack you at anytime. Not a huge issue
Only in the final season.
