The Parramatta Eels’ 2025 NRL season was a challenging transition year under rookie coach Jason Ryles, starting poorly with heavy losses and mid-season disruptions—including Mitchell Moses injuries and off-field issues—before a strong late surge lifted them to mid-table (around 11th) and away from wooden spoon contention. Lock Jack Williams claimed the prestigious Ken Thornett Medal as Player of the Year for his outstanding consistency and leadership, while dynamic fullback Isaiah Iongi earned Rookie of the Year and fan-voted honours in a breakout campaign. Though missing finals and falling short of expectations, the improved finish and emerging talents like Iongi (recently extended long-term) provide optimism for a stronger contention push in 2026.
