Word out of Parramatta over the last couple of months is that powerful player agent Isaac Moses has been leading the push for the Eels to cut ties with Arthur. It’s in direct opposition to the view held by his cousin Mitchell, who was one of Arthur’s biggest supporters.
For the past couple of months Isaac Moses has been telling anyone who would care to listen that Arthur was on his way out and Bennett was being earmarked to replace him. Arthur knew his views, too. What sway the agent has in the club’s decision on the new coach will be crucial.
He acts on behalf of Mitchell Moses (player option in 2027), Will Penisini (player option in 2026) and off contract rookie sensation Blaize Talagi, who has opted against taking up his option with the Eels for next season and has opened conversations with the Dragons and Knights, among others.
Sources with knowledge of the situation, talking under the condition of anonymity in order to speak freely, told this masthead that Isaac Moses is pushing the case for his client Blake Green.
Green is currently an assistant to Adam O’Brien at the Newcastle Knights but is a Parramatta junior who still has family residing in the area. Moses also represents Todd Payten (Cowboys), Shane Flanagan (Dragons), Anthony Seibold (Sea Eagles) and Andrew Webster (Warriors).
Operation woo Wayne west: Inside the Eels’ failed plot to replace Arthur with Bennett
On May 11, while the rugby league world poked fun at the Eels for not pursuing Bennett’s services, club bosses boarded a flight to Brisbane to meet him at his farm.www.smh.com.au
I would be steering clear of Issac Moses managed coaches.
Blake Green was mentioned by Buzz as the 1st option last night out of nowhere.
So its clear who Issac is pushing for.
Our English recruits have gone so well in the past 25 years.Steve McNamara is another possibility.
RobinsonWho is 4. Karen???
I am too scared to see anyone that is English in a Parramatta Polo or Jersey again.
Bennett hasn’t signed with Souths. He’ll play both clubs against each other and get the best deal for himself in the process.If Bennett has signed with Souths, I do not understand the short term advantage of getting rid of BA before the end of 2024.
Moses is almost back and Gutho will be back in the coming weeks - the season is far from over. A couple wins and we are back in top 8 contention.
Makes me think there is more going on behind the scenes - especially if removing BA yesterday was the best move for the club.
Interesting times.
How many 40+ defensive efforts were you willing to cop before enough is enough.If Bennett has signed with Souths, I do not understand the short term advantage of getting rid of BA before the end of 2024.

Dylan Brown is technically a free-agent come November 1 is the big one there.Our cap/contracts is set up perfect for a new coach to come in, for 2025 and see what we have then make changes for 2026:
2024 NRL Signings Tracker: Tigers in Pole position until 2027
Wests Tigers forward Fonua Pole has put pen to paper on a two-year extension through to the end of the 2027 season while the Eels have announced the signing of Josh Addo-Carr for two years.www.nrl.com
Lot players of contract next year.
only Moses / Paulo /Lomax contracted for 2026.
Lane / Sivo MO but we already trying to push Sivo out. Matterson / Dylan/Will PO
Puts us in a pretty good position! Plenty of room to change up the squad!
Fu*ken oath!I feel like Maguire is just a bit too similar to BA, just with more cursing in his pre, mid and post game speeches....
