Parramatta Eels struggle at 0-4 while Rabbitohs shine in NRL Round 4, raising concerns for coach Ryles.

Round 4 of the 2025 NRL season showcased some thrilling matchups, with the South Sydney Rabbitohs defeating the Penrith Panthers 28-18, solidifying their position as one of the top contenders. The Gold Coast Titans also made headlines with a commanding 30-12 victory over the Sydney Roosters, while the Brisbane Broncos edged past the Dolphins with a 20-12 win.

The Parramatta Eels are facing a tough season, currently sitting at 0-4 for the first time since 2018. Under new coach Jason Ryles, the team has undergone significant changes, including the departure of key players like Clint Gutherson and Reagan Campbell-Gillard. Ryles` decision to focus on young talent has raised eyebrows, especially with the demotion of experienced players like Bryce Cartwright and Ryan Matterson to the NSW Cup amid their struggles.

Player performance has also come under scrutiny, with Dylan Brown experiencing a career-low form, raising questions about the Eels` direction under Ryles. As the NRL prepares for potential rule changes and a crackdown on contact, teams are gearing up for the challenges ahead in Round 5, featuring matchups with the Canberra Raiders, Cronulla Sharks, and South Sydney Rabbitohs.
