Eels Next Coach

[Snoochies]

Any potential coach needs to go through this long winded process to get a feel for what it's like here. If they walk, then they weren't the right coach for us.

If Ryles did withdraw, it seems he has a pretty strong pull-out game. First Dragons and then us.

Only reason people "withdraw" is because they didn't get the job..

If he did withdraw and tell people it would be a bigger deal than someone on Facebook telling us

Remember last time, we tricked everyone by filming an acceptance video with JT. Very sneaky.

JT had the job, unless Mr stained Teef and creased shirt with crooked Tie Sharpie overruled his board and gave him the gig. No wonder he was a dud.

no link, she mentioned it on SEN. Said she’d heard from 3 sources but made the disclaimer she cannot confirm if this is true

She hates us.

That’s normally what happens when you pull out.

Left With nothing but a sticky situation like we find ourselves in....

 

[Joshuatheeel]

All outcomes suggested are just rumours originating from FB sites...when it's down to 2-3 candidates, it's easy to just go with one...and hope!!

If there were any genuine "leaks", either the daily telegraph or SMH would have written an article by now, eels sell clicks....so they wouldn't waste an opportunity....

Guys, I heard it's a done deal.....and someone that has gone completely under the radar......

Man she jumped on that every says she hates us when BA got the sack..

She was on SEN said see look I am vindicated because the club is a mess...

She is a joke..

Stopped listening to SEN during the week

 

[Joshuatheeel]

She has NFI hence why she doesn't have a job a 7 anymore..

She read it on Facebook like everyone else

She is now claiming she has heard Macguire is interested....

She is now claiming she has heard Macguire is interested....

Stretching the definition of ‘insight’ in that tweet

 

[yy_cheng]

You know, it would be very Parramatta for it to be a case of everyone pulled out apart from the bloke who gets the job, or even funnier everyone pulls out and we are left with nothing.

except Barrett

She is now claiming she has heard Macguire is interested....

The woman steals more of a living than any of the players

I'm a firm believer that the teams with the best roster usually win more games than lose. I know I'm smart, it's hard to be humble.
Teams with a mediocre roster can win if they are motivated and train well....that's where the coaching staff come in. But usually they can't maintain that effort week in week out.
Parramatta, South's and the Titans all have rosters good enough to be higher up. (disregarding injuries etc)
A coach like Bennett would have been good for the Eels...get them motivated then have his assistant take over.
Madge is a man's man and I think he could do a similar role. He did it at South's and they won a premiership but he needs the cattle.....Eels have enough to get the job done.
When Madge was at the Tigers he seemingly failed but the whole joint was out of control and they had no marquee players.
SO, Madge is the man. Bring with him a couple of good players and get your team rockin.
Madge will look your players in the eye and won't take any bullshit, that's how he runs but he also cares for his players.
P.S. go the Tigers

This needs to happen now or in the next few weeks, and by it I mean get the new coach in now, not next season.

We are headed for the spoon with TBaz in charge for the rest of the season and the damage could be irreparable.

I don't see any real attitude and/or motivation in this team right now.

The 2024 Wooden Spoon is ours to lose - we won't win another game in 2024.

When your captain, and heart and soul of the club - and generally a bloke who always gives 100% - is turning his back on plays, letting in tries...

The team is done.

 

[84 Baby]

I’m just glad it’s all announced and we can move on with this new coach

 

[Eelementary]

Guys, keep it hush-hush, but...

I've heard, but can't have it confirmed, that Andrew Bogut has thrown his hat in the ring.

 

[eels_fan]

I certain someone may or may not have recently become available after a period of time "in the wilderness". I've heard he's keen throw his now sizable frame into the role, or roll even.

sorry mate, I think the little birds have flown south for the winter

That's a low blow

NRL 2024: Dragons, Raiders out of race for Wests Tigers star Stefano Utoikamanu, Storm and Eels remain in pursuit
The Raiders have joined the Dragons in withdrawing their interest in pursuing talented Wests Tigers prop Stefano Utoikamanu, limiting his options to a potential move interstate or back to his old stomping ground at Parramatta.

The urgency for Parramatta to appoint a new head coach has gained further momentum with talented Wests Tigers prop Stefano Utoikamanu prepared to wait for the decision before deciding his own future.
The Eels chances of entering the race for Utoikamanu have taken a significant uplift with the revelation that the Raiders have joined St George Illawarra in withdrawing interest in the gun prop.
It leaves the Storm as the only major bidder for his signature, with the Wests Tigers suddenly a chance to retain his services for at least another 12-months.
The Bulldogs and Dolphins are also watching the negotiation process closely and have failed to rule out entering the race.
However, the Eels appointment of their new coach – potentially by the end of this weekend – is of interest to Utoikamanu, who maintains a soft spot for the club that helped develop his game.
Josh Hannay, Jason Ryles, Dean Young and Trent Barrett remain in contention for the Eels job.
Born in Auckland before moving to Sydney’s west, Utoikamanu played with the Cabramatta Two Blues as a junior before featuring in the Eels under-20s team in 2018 and 2019.
He moved to the Wests Tigers in 2021 and has failed to rule out a homecoming to the Eels as he weighs up his future.
