Craig Bellamy won’t stand in the way of Jason Ryles if his Melbourne assistant coach is in the sights of Parramatta.
The Eels are on the hunt for a new coach after sacking longstanding mentor Brad Arthur after his side slumped to a 3-7 record; the latest heavy loss coming at the hands of Bellamy’s men during Magic Round.
Parramatta went after Dolphins coach Wayne Bennett to replace Arthur but the veteran super-coach was committed to rejoining South Sydney for the 2025 season.
