Eels Appoint Brad Arthur as Head Coach

[parra pete]

David Furner if he knocks back the Storm

 

[aqua_duck]

Justin Morgan was mentioned above and he did a good job in Super League.

I'm sure he's probably a lot better coach than video ref

 

[jason taylor]

Do the people that want Sheens recall his stint at the Cowboys? He had a 26% win record. 2005 was a fluke, he's been a has been for over a decade.

 

[natheel]

I'd like experience to come in and get us into a position where we can afford to gamble on a young coach like the roosters and Souths did

 

[Joely01]

Its out of JT or Henry for me.
The raps the roosters are giving JT, and the fact he was the one who gave the great one his debut, gets him across the line for mine. He didn't want to leave the place last time and has the passion for the club.

 

[carlosthedwarf]

I'd like to see them go with a younger coach, someone like Green or Dymock. No point bringing in guys like Henry or Sheens

Andrew Brown ‏@SportingbetAB 6h Neil Henry a $2.25 favourite @sportingbet to be next @TheParraEels Coach. JT $2.75, Sheens $5.50, http://bit.ly/18dsBrR @AdamHawse #NRL

If we hire Sheens that will just about do me.

 

[Y2Eel]

I wouldnt hire either Sheens or Henry... I dont they are terrible but they would only be accepting as they have no job at the moment... Their hearts wouldn't be in it..

Taylor on the other hand would have to leave the roosters who have just won the minor premiership, you know he wont just leave to fill in a year or two or wait for a better offer...

Brian Smith, Jason Taylor or Daniel Anderson would be my choices.

This exactly. We don't need another "career coach". We need somebody who loves the club. Smith and Taylor fit the bill

Yeah I'd put $100 on the Sheenius so if worst comes to worst at least I can buy a lot of alcohol to drown my sorrows in.

 

[dazeely]

JT and Brian Smith or Neil Henry.

agree

 

[Avenger]

A lot of romanticism with a Smith return but can't see it happening.

 

[The Colonel]

I have warmed to the appointment of Justin Morgan. I wouldn't be upset with him coming. His record in England was quite good and he has been a solid assistant.

Unfortunately I agree, we can still be hopeful though

 

[Gary Gutful]

James Hird.

 

[Y2Eel]

I doubt we will know until the finals are over..

Where does he coach now?

 

[The Colonel]

Canberra at the moment as I understand. Also doing some work as a video referee.
