The search is finally over with the Parramatta Eels announcing Jason Ryles as their new head coach for the next four years. Sixties and Forty20 convene for an emergency episode of The Tip Sheet as they discuss the ramifications of the massive decision.
Why did the Eels pick Ryles over Josh Hannay and was it the right call? Was there even a wrong call between the two? The boys discuss what Jason Ryles brings to the club and how his ties to the Melbourne Storm and Sydney Roosters meet the requirements the Eels set in bringing a culture of success to the role.
It won't be a simple path for the new commander-in-chief at Parramatta though as the podcast sift through the challenges that immediately face the new coach. From a potential roster overhaul to locking up key talent and assuaging incoming recruit Zac Lomax...Ryles will need to hit the ground at a full sprint.
