Eels Next Coach

[Incorrect]

View attachment 89671

If in fact it is Matterson they're referring to, I'm amazed that any other club would go near him. I guess if Parra were picking up half his salary it might be worth a punt but he's surely 1 more head knock away from retirement and he just seems like a weird cat to boot....

I'm assuming he wants to be a head coach. He will never do it at the Storm. Literally ever.

Someone will eventually takeover from Bellyache.

He knocked back a Head Coach gig to be an Assistant at the Storm.

According to Bellyache he is now heavily involved in their recruitment, which would seem unusual for an Assistant Coach that you have zero intention of being the Head Coach one day.

SHOOSH
Which former State of Origin forward could be up for grabs at the end of the season. He hasn’t played a lot of NRL this year and rival clubs are beginning to ask about his future.


SHOOSH
Trent Barrett’s media campaign for the Parramatta Eels’ head coaching job may not be helping his cause. The club prefers the softly, softly approach of Josh Hannay and Jason Ryles.

And rightly so … it’s embarrassing

Did Matto play SOO? I thought he was always a fringe player

Yeah he played. He's still got the 30K cheque under his pillow....

Yeah he played 1 game and got dumped.

Remember when SK left the STORM and he bought promising junior Billy Rodgers with him. That showed them.

If this club is stupid enough to sign Barrett as coach I’m done

It could just mean that to keep employees happy you need to support their career development.

Was this Mexican fella chieka successful as a rugby coach?
What ever. Just go him. These other options are losers.

Please put us out of our misery

Bye next weekend, odds on Board will confirm decision then and commence contract negotations with the successful/preferred candidate.

You would hope so it's time to make a decision.

The board have had enough time to settle on someone.

 

[the phantom menace]

Second interviews with some this week I presume, just to narrow it down to one or an order of preference.

 

[Jake the snake]

Barrett can’t be our coach. But the options presented are pretty shit. The club management have really stuffed us.

 

[the phantom menace]

1. McDermott
2. Cheika
3. Holbrook
-
4. Demetriou (only because he can start straight away)
5. Hannay
6. Ryles
7. Barrett

Hope it's Holbrook. Was successful with the Eels 20s. Won successive comps with the Dogs nsw cup. Then coached the jnr kangaroos. Went to England and was very successful. Made the 8 with the tits then 9th. Was sacked with a 6 win and 7 loss in his final year, prematurely many thought.

 

[the phantom menace]

Any of the top three above the line gives me some hope.

The ones below the line... not as much - but I guess hope can be earnt.

Okay. Go him. Or Chieka. Please no Barrett or Dermitiis.

I dont think it’s going to be Holbrook fellas.
