The Parramatta Eels have today confirmed the Assistant Coaches for the 2025 season and beyond. Incoming Head Coach Jason Ryles will be supported by Assistant Coaches Nathan Brown, Scott Wisemantel, Sam Moa and Nathan Cayless. Nathan Brown previously served as the Parramatta Eels Elite Pathways Coaching Director in 2022 and was instrumental in accelerating the development of our players in those programs. His coaching experience of 475 games in the NRL and English Super League will be of great benefit to Jason and the other coaches as well as the playing group.

A former Wallabies and England attack coach, Scott has coached around the world including in France, Japan, Samoa and England and he was a long-time assistant to Eddie Jones with Japan at the 2015 World Cup and with England between 2018-19.
Sam Moa was the defence coach for Catalan Dragons from 2021-2023. He is a former New Zealand and Tonga international and an NRL premiership winner with the Roosters in 2013. Sam also played 169 Super League games, winning the Challenge Cup at Wembley in 2018.
