Eels Appoint Brad Arthur as Head Coach

[Avenger]

Are we there yet?

 

[Joely01]

Must say a bit disappointed JT hasn't got the job, but if Brads got the support of the players, well he is ahead of most coaches we have had over the past 5 years already so we might start to see some passion back in the place.
Goodluck Brad, I feel like the club has started its rise now, with players confirming they will be here, sponsorships and head coach all now done.
Parra 2014!

I don't see how Arthur with his résumé wouldn't have at least learnt a thing or two about the tactics of the game. Besides, I think mental application is where Parramatta sorely lack, not tactics.

 

[Avenger]

No reason why we can't employ JT as an assistant coach. I reckon he will take over the Saints sooner rather than later though.

He's already got a job as assistant coach. That's the main reason I can think of.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

How do you know he's faster than the other horses?

Too much horse talk. This is a footy forum.

Yeah, not to mention at a team in the grand final. Not sure why he would want the same job at the wooden spooners. :lol:

Maybe offer him more you argumentative knob. Just keep taking it to the nth degree, every topic, every day. Don't know where you get the energy.

Yeah we should offer him more money. I'm sure the Roosters wouldn't be able to match us.

Vince Fawcet is Johnnie Tap's son.

Okay. So we've got a new coach, we've got some new players. When do we play Ricky Stuart? (I mean Canberra.)

Isn't this just typical of our choices....we interview 2 assistant coaches and end up with the one from the losing grand finalists!!!!!! Bloody Murphy's Law

If Manly won tonight then we would have been complaining in 12 months time that Arthur "peaked too early" as a coach.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

How about that grand final winning assistant coach Steve Kearney!

 

[El Diablo]

how about Taylor in 2001

He spent the second half watching from the sideline.
