The Continuous Call Team’s Mark Riddell has endorsed former teammate Jason Ryles to be an NRL head coach.

Riddell and Ryles played alongside each other at the St George Illawarra Dragons and have since become close friends.

In recent weeks there has been speculation the 44-year-old could take the next step with the Dragons yet to lock in a coach for 2024 and beyond, while it’s unclear if Craig Bellamy will continue on as Storm coach after this year.
