Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

[hineyrulz]

I just hope we snap up BA before some other merkin pinches him.

Yes but, he lives 2 minutes from training. Imagine the petrol fees if he signed with the warriors!

BA:

“Why would I want to leave? I live up the road near Parramatta Stadium. Why would I want to leave my local area, my kids are set up here, there’s no sense to me leaving

5-7 minutes depending on traffic.

A good halfback or a backup?

‘I wish my mum and dad were still here to see it’: The Arthurs’ 75 years of Eels devotion

Brad Arthur’s father Ted was at the very first Eels game in 1947. He watched their stadium burn to the ground in 1981. Now his son is on the verge of his own piece of history.

Lovely article. I don’t know if we’ll win tomorrow, but regardless, I’m not sure there’s anyone else that I’d rather see coach us to a premiership than BA.

Flanno with peptides coming out of our arse would be epic.

Will the club play it by ear and see how we go in 2023 or do they buckle and extend him?

Surely we wait and see?

I hope so. No need to extend at this point.

 

[the phantom menace]

He got his extension early... not need to further extend unless the result next year (top four finish and final two weeks of finals) in any way suggests it.

He has 2 more years locked in.

No need for the club to do anything.

BA has 12 month grace period before his contract is talked about again.

Build off what we did this September our squad is a touch weaker but there is strong nucleus to finish top 6 at a minimum next year.

The one thing we have achieved this year is we can win a final with this core group under pressure and on the road.

We couldn't say that last year.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I thought we could do it last year as well.

Interesting quotes by Brian Smith (Is Pou Brian Smith?) in this article from a few days ago regarding the system set up by Matt Cameron (who used to be at Parramatta.

But as far as Smith is concerned, what Cameron has at Penrith is the same job with more experience, life lessons, geographical pull and far greater resources.

"You could easily stuff that up or not maximise it though," Smith said.

"What he has been able to do is adapt and embellish all the advantages that Penrith have.

"They are a very wealthy club.

"They have always good pretty contacts in western NSW.

Penrith's grand plan was Parramatta vision

Brian Smith sees more than just a hint of Parramatta DNA in Penrith's looming NRL dynasty.In fact, the former decade-long Eels coach knows too well that the Panthers' current reality was once a Parramatta vision that never truly got the ultimate reward.

Anyone know why Matt Cameron left Parramatta and how big a loss he was?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I'm tipping some other club made a better offer. The best operators aren't cheap.

BA has earnt next year. Lets see how next year goes before anyone gets too excited about extensions please. Post World Cup and the deflation of last night plus our numerous departures will really test next season.
2018 followed the last World Cup and we know how that went.
