Parramatta coach Jason Ryles revealed that during his playing career, he received intense criticism from halfbacks. He reassured fans that all is "perfectly fine" within the club following a tense moment when skipper Mitch Moses reprimanded Tallyn Da Silva three times in the final ten minutes of a recent win against the Cowboys.
The duo addressed the incident jokingly on social media, yet it was heated on the field as Moses voiced his frustrations over Da Silva's subpar dummy-half service and a questionable run when he expected 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 commented 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 reflected on his own experiences, recalling instances when players like Braith Anasta, Cooper Cronk, and Ben Hornby had vocally confronted him during matches. He supports his players expressing emotions when the stakes are high.
"Braith gave me a few, so did Cooper Cronk and Ben Hornby. You can go down the list," he added.
