Eels Next Coach

[Noise]

Green? The player recently retired?

Paul Green

 

[lingard]

Put all League unlimited Parra fans names in a hat

1st drawn = head coach
2nd and 3rd drawn = Assistants

Bad idea. I could conceivably end up as head coach.

 

[Gary Gutful]

We just need to figure out who has the biggest face and go with them

I vote for the guy on the right.

 

[T-Boon]

Kirk?

He is a fruity Christian so would fit in well.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

It's not enough to win one big game and lose the expected ones..

So if we win the GF and lose a few games on the way, that wouldn't cut it?

 

[T-Boon]

I’d consider Brad Fittler.

Don’t imagine there have been many teams that have won a GF after losing a game by 31 points but I’m sure there are a few…

 

[Gary Gutful]

I’d consider Brad Fittler.

Too much of a space cadet. Good when it comes to the Origin format but would struggle with the week to week effort required to be a first grade coach…Just like he did at the Roosters.

That’s the concern. I just can’t think of anyone else outside of Bellamy who is worth considering.

That would be acceptable

That’s my problem as well. You might get a little sugar hit with a new coach but if we are going to replace BA you want someone that can help deliver long term success.

We are a high profile club that has performed well for the last 3-4 years. We should aim for a genuine improvement on BA.

How many teams lose by a margin of 31 ever? I guess there'd be a few back in the 3 point try days.

Broncos lost by 32 back in 2006 and won the premiership.

I should have said “at least”, but it sounds like it’s rarer than a steak at Marble and Grain.

Paul Green

Knocked back the Leeds job and a few journos reckon he’ll be the Broncos coach after they get sick of Kevvie.

Arthur can go and coach the Broncos. They need a 6 and I reckon he might have a guy in mind for the position.

 

[Eelementary]

Yeah I said he’s not a candidate. He’s the high performance guy and overseers accelerated development. Unsure about him being out of ideas, but you might know more than me.

Imo, they're either out of ideas, or unable to get the best out of the roster on a consistent basis.

Either way, I don't feel Arthur, or his assistants, are the way forward.

Let them finish their deals, and we can look elsewhere.

If he takes Brown with him I'll be pissed off.

 

[hineyrulz]

He'll take Brown and Jakey with him, Brown to play in the centres of course.

 

[Wally21]

Im not saying its good .... but seems the majority of parra fans flip n flop with the wind.

We arent as shit as last night ... and we arent premiership contenders. But parra fans seem to swing between the two mindsets.

And after 8 years at the helm, if we aren’t premiership contenders, it is time to move Arthur and his assistants on.

 

[Eelementary]

That’s my problem as well. You might get a little sugar hit with a new coach but if we are going to replace BA you want someone that can help deliver long term success.

Very salient point.

But I suppose the question to ask would be - come the end of Brad's contract -, is it better to re-sign him, and get more of the same? Or to take the leap, and get some fresh ideas in place?

I like Brad, but I don't think he has anything else to offer us.
