Yep, same one. Last I recall hearing of him was leaving the Tigers a couple of years ago due to claims of misconduct, but apparently we’ve done our due diligence and have offered him the role.

Eels turn to Mark O'Neill to help lead them out of the doldrums
Adrian Proszenko27 September 2018 — 7:00pm


Former Wests Tigers captain Mark O’Neill has been tasked with overseeing Parramatta’s resurrection after being appointed as the club’s head of football.

After an exhaustive process that resulted in officials from AFL, rugby and rugby league being shortlisted, O’Neill has been offered one of the toughest jobs in Australian sport. The Eels finished the year with the wooden spoon, a rapid decline after a top-four finish the previous season.

The appointment comes after an independent review of the football department found key areas were under-resourced and that the junior pathways and talent identification systems needed urgent attention.

There were more than 80 applicants and only nine contenders were interviewed. It's understood O'Neill, who has been working in a senior management role at Woolworths, met with chief executive Bernie Gurr and coach Brad Arthur as part of the process.

There is some upside as O’Neill prepares to take on the role. The Eels will have the new Western Sydney Stadium, one of the best sporting venues in the southern hemisphere, at their disposal from 2019. While the stadium won’t be available from round one, it’s hoped construction will be completed before Easter.

After eight years at head office, O'Neill returned to the Tigers as their general manager of football. However, the 43-year-old resigned after being investigated for alleged misconduct in September 2016 after only six months in the job. The Eels spoke with a number of NRL and Tigers officials about his character before deciding he was a suitable fit. They also sought the counsel of Shane McCurry, the man who oversaw the football review and had previously worked at Wests Tigers, before rubber-stamping the appointment.

O’Neill’s top priority will be to ensure Arthur has the resources and the support necessary to begin the climb back up the ladder, as well as overhauling a roster that failed to fire this season. The former forward is away overseas on holidays, but is expected to begin duties as the players and staff return from their off-season break.
