‘Braith gave me a few': Jason Ryles no stranger to epic sprays as he plays down any lingering issues between Mitch Moses and Tallyn Da Silva
Parramatta coach Jason Ryles copped some savage sprays off halfbacks back in his playing days and he insists everything is 'perfectly fine' inside the club's four walls after skipper Mitch Moses berated Tallyn Da Silva three times in the final 10 minutes of last week's tense win over the Cowboys. The pair made light of the situation on social media, but it was fiery on the field as Moses ripped into the mid-season recruit for his poor service from dummy-half and an ill-advised run close to the line when he demanded the ball. 'I don't know if it's part and parcel, but for us, it was a high pressure game and it's not uncommon for those things to happen on the field,' Ryles said on Friday. 'We dealt with it straight after the game and then again in the review. If anything, there have been a lot of really good learnings out of it, so it's been good for Tallyn and good for Mitch, and we've moved on from it pretty quickly. 'It's absolutely perfectly fine in the four walls.' Ryles copped bakes off guys like Braith Anasta and Cooper Cronk back in the day, and he has no issue with seeing his best player show some emotion when the game was on the line. 'Braith gave me a few, so did Cooper Cronk and Ben Hornby. You can go down the list,' he said. 'You look at Mitch as a player, and he's a competitor. 'At times he shows that emotion on the outside, but it all comes from a good place and he wants to win.' Moses remains as passionate as ever even though his side won't play finals footy this year, with the Eels hunting for more wins to finish the regular season. That starts on Saturday night when they could get fullback Isaiah Iongi back from a fractured hand that has kept the Rookie of the Year candidate sidelined for a month. 'Isaiah will be in the 19. He'll have a fitness test tomorrow and then we'll see how he goes. He's on track,' Ryles said. 'If he's ready to play, then he'll play. If not, we'll give him another week. 'He's a really good kid. He's really diligent with what he does and he's been like that with his rehab as well.' They face a Souths side that has lost Latrell Mitchell to injury, while veteran Cody Walker is set to return on the bench. 'We did a little bit of prep on both those guys (so it doesn't change our plans),' Ryles said. 'We weren't really sure what they'd line up with. We knew their 22 (man squad) and we basically prepared for a couple of different scenarios.'

Fallout from Mitch Moses spray at teammate exposes NRL ‘hypocrisy'
COMMENT Everyone will ultimately remember where they were when Mitch Moses verbally blasted Tallyn Da Silva. Mainly because whether you were in Parramatta or Paris, you were still close enough to be deluged in the spittle. Debate has simmered since Sunday over the Eels halfback's venomous tirade, with every man and his dog offering their take on where his rant fell on the intersectional graph between business and bile. FOX LEAGUE, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every game of every round in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, LIVE with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. For those who missed it, Da Silva was dressed down by Moses on multiple occasions after a mosaic of rank decisions at CommBank Stadium that culminated in the dying stages with a dart on the fifth tackle that was held up over the line. With the game in the balance and tensions running high, Moses saved his best for last with a burst of language at the former Tiger so forceful it set off every car alarm inside the 25km blast radius. Was the halfback out of line for hammering Da Silva so furiously? Would his behaviour be tolerated in any other workplace? Or has rugby league gone fully vegan? The answer is simple. Moses' demon-possessed screed on Slanderous Sunday was not only bloody excellent, it was the most heartwarming use of the 'F' and 'C' words since Chris Heighington went full Gordon Ramsay after the 2005 grand final. Yet instead of celebrating Moses' touching gesture, there are still puritans standing under cold showers crossing themselves while righteously posting about the evils of his swears. So why was Moses spot on to give Da Silva the industrial blowtorch? Not only because the hooker endured a forgettable afternoon of shovelling up dung, but also because it finally returned to modern rugby league what it thought it had lost: a footballer who genuinely gives a toss. But instead of chairing Moses off like a Kaiser and shoving a mic in his face in the hope of a second burst, we've seen a fallout that has again exposed rugby league and its turgid hypocrisy. Not only is a cranky halfback a non-event in rugby league as commonplace as a training ground spat or a Craig Bellamy aneurysm, it's also something Parramatta players would be rigidly conditioned to after years playing with Clint Gutherson. But more importantly, Moses going off deluxe was a rare exhibition of raw passion in a game that has gone so milky you can get suspended for liking a post or wetting a ball. Think about it: we're always whinging about modern players being spoon-fed prodigies and soulless mercenaries lusting for the shiny penny. We hate how they'll switch allegiances in a heartbeat and laugh it up with the opposition at full time after copping a thrashing instead of stewing on it until they develop a stomach ulcer. So when we see a fighter like Moses hankering for victory with such drive that it manifests in a few naughty cuss words, we can't have our bake and eat it too. In simple terms, Moses is everything you want in a footballer: tough, street smart, and completely and utterly psychopathic. But he's not a bully consumed by malice or some kinda rogue employee, he's just a fearsome competitor whose only drawback is he needs a bib when he screams. This is a bloke who'd kill a coyote with his bare hands just to get a repeat set, a man solely responsible for Parramatta's bright late-season progress. And if he was on your team, you'd feel a burst of fire in your pantaloons that someone cared so much about two competition points in a lost season. If anything, the rest of the comp could learn a thing or two from Moses feeding Da Silva these chilli-infused home truths. Adam Reynolds is an affable chap, but maybe if he tore strips off Reece Walsh every once in a while he'd stop throwing so many forward passes? Imagine how proud Cowboys fans and Todd Payten would've been if Tom Dearden slagged off one of his many teammates slacking off again in their rudderless operation? Yes, Moses gets up people's noses. But anyone who thinks he's a negative influence on their kids obviously doesn't want their child to become an elite kick-ass competitor. And those claiming 'you wouldn't tolerate it in the workplace' have lost the plot too by comparing apples to oranges because they're lemon sour. Of course, this would never happen in your workplace — but that's only because you don't work in a job where you bust your gut in front of 15,000 people every weekend for a company that hasn't finished a job in almost 39 years. Sadly, this kinda hypocrisy in rugby league nowadays is like screen addiction, because it's automatic, almost unconscious, and full of RSI from so much finger wagging. These people would be better served directing their abuse at someone more relevant, like the trainers. Instead of berating Moses and demanding he spend time in the June Dally-Watkins Institute of Decorum, we should be celebrating the bloke for tackling adversity in a manner that doesn't involve demanding a release. — Dane Eldridge is a warped cynic yearning for the glory days of rugby league, a time when the sponges were magic and the Mondays were mad. He's never strapped on a boot in his life, and as such, should be taken with a grain of salt.

Eels stars bury hatchet after explosive scenes during nailbiter
Don't miss out on the headlines from NRL. Followed categories will be added to My News. Parramatta Eels skipper Mitchell Moses appears to be all rosy with teammate Tallyn Da Silva again. The duo looked far from friendly on Sunday when Moses was sighted delivering multiple blistering outbursts in the 20-year-olds direction. FOX LEAGUE, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every game of every round in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, LIVE with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. In a tense encounter at CommBank Stadium on Sunday night, Moses' frustrations boiled over with Da Silva three times in the final 10 minutes of the clash against the Cowboys. The young halfback drew the ire of his skipper after multiple passes from dummy half missed the mark. Moses however really lost his cool when the youngster attempted to slice through the defensive line on the fifth tackle just metres away from the line. The skipper was caught on camera giving the youngster an extraordinary spray which appeared to those watching on to be along the lines of: 'Tallyn you f***ing c***.' On Monday however it appeared the two had buried the hatchet with Da Silva responding to Moses' Instagram post. The 30-year-old star posted several images and captioned the upload: 'Gun win big effort from the lads!'. Da Silva saw an opening and took his chance by cheekily commenting: 'Clutch #stillfriends'. The sentiment was reciprocated by the Eels skipper who responded to his teammates remark by writing: 'Love me little mate. lololol.' Tallyn's cheeky response to Moses' post Moses lost it at his teammate. Moses brushed off the heated scenes with his teammate after being asked by Bryan Fletcher on the Sunday Night with Matty Johns show. 'Yeah it happens on the field … was a tense game,' Moses said. 'We'll learn a lot of lessons from that I think. We've got a really young squad at the moment and it's better to learn the lessons winning the game than having a loss.' Speaking on his SEN radio show on Monday morning, Fox League commentator Andrew Voss was in shock at what unfolded — both for how poor Da Silva was and Moses' subsequent blow up. 'Poor old Tallyn possibly played the worst five or six minutes of a dummy half in the history of the game and I'm not saying that flippantly, I'm saying that honestly,' Voss said. Tallyn had his teammates filthy after multiple mistakes down the stretch. 'I don't think I've seen a dummy half make so many mistakes and errors in judgement in such a short period of time. 'The on field berating from Mitch Moses, now that's happened before, but it happened three times in five minutes. How do you come back from that? 'Mitchell Moses lost his you know what and I can understand it and I can imagine Parramatta fans losing it.' Voss' radio co-host Greg Alexander said he hadn't seen an on-field spray directed at a teammate like that in some time, but didn't fault Moses for his actions. 'I can't remember the last time I've saw a player berated like Da Silva was,' Alexander said. 'I don't think we've seen it happen plenty of times recently. That part of the game died out. 'He probably deserved it but it was tough.' Tallyn had a tough finish to the match. (Photo by) The moments were applauded by former Panthers star Scott Sattler who praised the skipper for holding his teammates to account. 'When you have a young player coming into the group, you want to let him know what you are striving for as a group, what you are heading towards rather than what you're walking away from,' Sattler said on SEN 'I loved that from Mitchell Moses. 'There'd be no problem between the players. To Parramatta fans that should be a sign that you have a coach that is trying to drive high standards, and you have a captain that's driving the same standards. So when the coach turns his back, the captain is going to pick up the slack. 'If you're a Parramatta fan, I would think they would love seeing what they saw yesterday.'

Tallyn Da Silva's play-acting was embarrassing. Sadly, it wasn't illegal
The sight of Parramatta hooker Tallyn Da Silva trying to milk a penalty late in the game on Sunday night was one of the most embarrassing things witnessed in the NRL this season. Da Silva was collared by North Queensland forward Kaiden Lahrs and thought he was about to receive a fresh set, or even a shot at goal, in the 77th minute. When the dummy half realised referee Liam Kennedy was not going to blow his whistle, he put his left hand to the top of his head and rolled around on the ground in a performance that would have made any footballer in Serie A or the Premier League proud. Da Silva found himself on the end of several verbal blasts from Mitchell Moses – and the Eels skipper was justified in ripping into him for the carry-on. Kennedy ordered Da Silva to play the ball, the bunker felt no need to intervene – they can only do so if they believe the tackle was a chargeable offence – and Lahrs's name was nowhere to be seen on the match review committee's charge sheet on Monday morning. Rugby league prides itself on the toughness of its players, and laughs at the gamesmanship often seen in rival codes – but Da Silva was not the first player to stay down, and will not be the last. Only a few hours earlier, up on the Gold Coast, Jayden Campbell was collected high in the 79th minute – only to bounce to his feet and get on with play. The tackle was quickly forgotten. Titans fans could have been forgiven for wishing Campbell had produced his best 'Da Silva' and stayed down.
