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.”
