Jason Ryles’ time in charge of Parramatta couldn’t have got off to a worse start, with their heavy loss to Canberra leaving them 1-5 and on the bottom of the ladder.
The Eels will attempt to bounce back from their poor performance in Darwin with a better showing against Wests Tigers on Easter Monday.

Eels latest team news for Round 7
It was a case of one step forward, several steps backwards for Jason Ryles last week as Parra backed their win over the Dragons up with a poor display against the Raiders.
They are set for a monumental boost though with Mitch Moses named for an early return for the Easter Monday clash. He replaces Dean Hawkins at halfback.
Jack Williams is also back on board ahead of schedule and takes his place up front in the absence of Joe Ofahengaue.
The big prop isn’t the only experienced campaigner out of the side with Shaun Lane replaced in the backrow by Kelma Tuilagi. Ryan Matterson also drops out along with Charlie Guymer.
Matt Doorey and Luca Moretti are the fresh faces on the bench as part of Ryles’ shake-up.
