After working with Jason Ryles during recent rugby campaigns, the former Wallabies coach believes Parramatta are onto a winner with their new mentor.
Former Wallabies coach Eddie Jones has lauded Parramatta’s appointment of Jason Ryles, declaring the rookie mentor has “all the attributes of a successful coach”.
“I’ve got no doubt he’s ready,” Jones told this masthead from Japan. “He’s done his time as an assistant coach. He’s always been diligent and been quite adventurous. For an out-and-out league player to be involved in rugby, it’s not an easy task. “He’s been really purposeful in developing his coaching career,” Jones said. “When he was with the Storm, I remember we got him to come over a couple of times in November.“He was always really engaged in the coaching process. Some guys want to coach and other guys want to be a coach; he wants to be a coach, it wasn’t just a job for him. By getting the Parramatta job, it’s a reflection of how much work he’s done.
“Parramatta has obviously got the right ingredients, it’s going to be a bit of a different mix, and he understands that and will get the mix right for them.” Barrett was thrust into an interim role after the Eels sacked Brad Arthur following Magic Round, and had the support of senior Eels players Clint Gutherson and Mitchell Moses when he interviewed for the job.
“To give another kid a debut this week in Lorenzo, that makes coaching really worthwhile. When you can do that, and have an effect on people’s lives that way – last week it was Charlie Guymer and Jake Tago, and before that Matt Arthur – they are the things that always bring you back to coaching, and why you fall in love with it.
