Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

[Twizzle]

If Maguire and Green can win premierships I don't see why Arthur's is such a bad choice for coach.

I heard McGuinn and McGuire just a gettin' higher
In L.A., you know where that's at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

I don’t like wearing watches whilst playing golf. I feel like they get in the way.

Half past fore?

THE “KEY” REASON EELS LOCKED IN ARTHUR FOR THREE MORE SEASONS​

BY LACHLAN GELEIT 19 HOURS AGO

Brad Arthur will be the coach of Parramatta until 2024 after signing a two-year contract extension with the Eels.
Having already been contracted until the end of 2022, the Eels decided to put their faith in Arthur after his future was a big talking point throughout the 2021 season.

While some raised their eyebrows at the early extension, The Daily Telegraph’s David Riccio believes it was a necessary move to help the club offer stability to the playing group.
“I think that (the length of the deal) gives the club security from a player contract point of view,” Riccio said on SEN 1170 Breakfast.
“I’ve spoken about this on the program previously, the point of re-signing Brad Arthur was not only getting a decent coach to take the club forward.
“But it was telling the 14 players off-contract at the end of next season that we know where we’re heading as a club.
“That is key.”
With several stars coming off-contract at the end of next year, Riccio says the club’s in a better position to keep them with the coach’s direction locked in for seasons to come.
“They have got big names off contract,” Riccio explained.
“There’s Clint Gutherson, Marata Niukore, Ryan Matterson, Reed Mahoney, Isaiah Papali’i, Junior Paulo, Ray Stone, Jakob Arthur, Haze Dunster … the list goes on and on.
“Players want to know who the coach is, and if they’re extending their lives and careers to a club for two, three, four years in some cases, knowing that Brad Arthur is seemingly the coach for the next three years helps those players make clearer decisions.”
With such a glut of players off-contract, Riccio says Arthur understands they won’t be able to re-sign all of them with a forward already linked to the Warriors from 2023.
“I think in the article in today’s Telegraph, Brad Arthur indicates and he knows the club won’t be able to keep all of those players,” Riccio added.
“I can tell you Marata Niukore is right on the Warriors’ target list come November 1.
“Watch that space with Niukore and the Warriors.”
Arthur’s Eels made it to week two of finals in 2021 where they were knocked out by eventual champions Penrith.

We’ll make week 3 at a minimum next year.

We’ll you’d have to hope so, I mean this is why we re-hired him right??? It’s not all about stability is it??

Stability leads to success. Can’t see why anyone with half a brain would be pushing for instability.

How is wanting an 8 year coach who has produced a spoon and not much else pushing for instability?? I could cop him even getting maybe another year but two???

3 more years and what do we do if we have another poor year or stay the same next year?? The board won’t do much because they won’t want to pay him out for two years. So we just keep doing the same old same and hope to hell he comes good. Yay!!

how do you blame BA for the spoon ?

So the coach has absolutely nothing to do with it when his team wins a spoon??? Who’s fault was it then??? I know it was him with that that clueless look on his face after every loss in the press conference with no idea what had happened. He had that same look this year when we played like absolute dogshit for a month which killed our top 4 chances.

You keep making fun of stability. By doing that you appear to be advocating for instability.

Personally, I think we had a good chance to arsehole him in 2018. Harder to do it right now without accepting that a rebuild is likely.
