Eels Appoint Brad Arthur as Head Coach

I stopped reading that article when I got to the bit that says ...



... so The Australian expect us to trust that they know facts, yet they have no idea if our list of candidates is 15 or 30?? ... maybe its 31? maybe 50? ... yet they know everything else going on.... :roll:

Very true - I don't think I could even name 15 serious candidates

Rock bottom? Because a contracted coach, an overrated coach who was sacked and a 59 year old candidate pulled out?

It will be rock bottom if we are forced to use another rookie like Kearney who had very little credentials.

The pessimist in me has a bad feeling our next coach will be a coach who has proved he no longer has it (like Sheens) or has never had it (like Furner).

I sort of believe we shouldn't go with the rookie, but really there is no good options out there if you believe Taylor has said 'no'.

I honestly believe the next choice of coach may be the most crucial/important decision this club has made in many years

I was just about to type I'd rather see Kevin Walters than someone like Sheens. Haha.

I shudder at the thought of Kevin Walters coaching here.

Atleast Sheens plays an attractive brand of footy. I hate wrestle!

Not suggesting Walters would introduce wrestle if he was appointed but we know Sheens wouldnt.

We would have to get used to Tanginoa and Terepo in the centres, Matt Keating at halfback and Hayne at lock.

+1 yeah lets hire another rookie storm assistant coach because it worked out so well last time :roll:

It's fair dinkum open season on us still. Every scribe claims to know who's been interviewed and who has brushed us.

Yesterday it was Carty and Henry. As time passes 99% of these rumours are proven to be bullcrap. Yet Matty Johns, Brent Read & Co seemingly can print/say the first thing that comes into their heads without having to be accountable.

Every article states with glee that we are a basket case, however I really think that they have NFI what's really going on. We are just ratings fodder for hits on web pages and newspaper rags.

<rant over>

I wouldn't be surprised if Smith and Taylor were announced as coaching director and coach. Sharpie could be playing mind games with the media. Time will tell though.

I can't wait to see who we appoint.

it doesnt matter if the list is 30 or 3 million if nobody wants the job

Come on you can't tease us like that !!! Just give us a hint , are we looking at doozie of a coach or are we looking at someone very good?
