Eddie Jones, the former Wallabies coach and current England rugby coach, recently shared his opinion on Jason Ryles’ readiness to coach in the NRL. Jones believes that Ryles is ready to take the helm of an NRL team and has the necessary experience and knowledge to be successful.
Ryles has been an assistant coach for the Melbourne Storm since 2018, working with the club’s forwards and helping them to win two premierships in that time. Jones believes that Ryles has gained invaluable experience from his time at the Storm, and is now ready to take on a head coaching role. He said that Ryles has “done a great job” with the Storm and has “learnt a lot about the game and about coaching”.
Jones also believes that Ryles has the right attitude and mentality to be a successful head coach. He said that Ryles is “a great listener” and is “very humble” in his approach. He also noted that Ryles is “very passionate” about the game and is “always looking for ways to improve”.
Overall, Jones believes that Ryles is ready to become a head coach in the NRL. He said that Ryles has the experience, knowledge and attitude to be successful in the role. It will be interesting to see if any NRL clubs take Jones’ advice and give Ryles a chance to prove himself as a head coach.
