Jason Ryles' time in charge of Parramatta has been a bit of a nightmare with his side suffering six defeats in the opening two months of the season.
However, despite being rooted to the bottom of the ladder, the rookie coach is remaining positive as he attempts to steer them to safer waters.
Parra will take on the Dolphins in the first match of the round on Thursday night with the home side looking for revenge after being handed a 44-16 loss in Darwin the last time these two sides met last year.

Eels latest team news for Round 10
Jason Ryles was left frustrated after watching his side go down to Cronulla in Magic Round. The coach said he saw plenty of positives during the defeat though and may opt to name an unchanged side.
Matt Doorey dropped off the bench late last week and was replaced by Jordan Samrani with the 23-year-old a chance to retain his place in the 17 after a decent cameo against the Sharks.
Ryan Matterson and Bryce Cartwright could come into contention for a spot on the bench. Matterson clocked 120 runs metres and 28 tackles in the NSW Cup, while Cartwright grabbed a try assist during Parra's win over Newtown.
Zac Lomax is nearing a return from a fractured foot but isn't expected to be back for this one, while Joey Lussick and Dan Keir remain in the casualty ward with him.
Kelma Tuilagi still has two more games to serve of his suspension for a shoulder charge.
