"The big thing for me is that we got to a point where we had some differing views on the structure and how things were going to work going forward.

"It was important that I was able to go to Parramatta with some things that were going to be crucial to me doing the absolute best job I could.

"We finished up in a place where I’m comfortable with the fact that wasn’t going to be the case, so we move on."

at least he's not bitter about it.

good on the club and JT for both standing by their principles and agreeing to disagree.

Remember the night last year when we smashed Brisbane up at Suncorp? Probably our best game in the post DA era. Remember Sandow's length of the field sprint to bring up the 40? That was Brad Arthur' coaching - without Hayne.

If Little Artie can bring THAT Chris Sandow back, re-find the 2009 Hayne Train, with the spark of Peats and the steadiness of Norman, a pommy international backrower and Hoppa............f*ck me - we might win the comp!!!!!!!!!

I have always had a vision of the mighty oompa-loompa making his Clive Churchill Medal acceptance speech - and if they bring back the shouldercharge - thats SBW taken care of!

GO YOU MIGHTY EELS!!!!!!!!!!

Loudy, Mossop is a front rower. And Sandow has never played like he did against Brisbane in 2012 more than 3 games at a time.

Hmmm, very interesting that Taylor reportedly (Ch 9) didn't like the thought of working with Anderson.

Not surprising in hindsight. Jason Taylor wanted someone in the position who wouldn't be seen as a threat to his position. Someone who could fill the role, but would not be considered for the Head Coaching job. Daniel Anderson is a former coach of two grand finals clubs and still could fill a head coaching job somewhere, probably didn't sit well with Taylor.

Remember Taylor has been burned before. When Taylor was at Souths, Shane Richardson appointed John Lang as a "football consultant". Taylor wasn't happy about the appointment and how it all ended at Souths, who could blame him.

'Arthur accepts the job in full knowledge that one third of the boardroom wanted Taylor.'

Great quote Massoud you f**king vulture. Maybe the Prime Minister should go into a deep depression seeing he only got 55% of the vote.

Price hates Anderson ever since Ando told him he wasn't needed for motivation prior to the 2009 GF.

Granted he is the go to man for the media I don't see anything too wrong with the interview. No more critical then anyone here. If he applied for the job (warranted or not) he deserved a call. As for his opinion on the coach he said he doesn't know him but the players seem to like him, hardly earth shattering criticism. He obviously doesn't like DA and that's his prerogative.

Now that everything is sorted the bottom feeders still find crap to write about Eels.

Slow news day.

They the media are bottom feeders but you can't disagree with the fact that this time we do deserve everything we cop from the media. The way our board went out about trying to select a coach was a like watching a bunch I clowns at a circus. So unprofessional.
