Eels to throw Madge a lifeline
Sacked South Sydney coach Michael Maguire is close to resurrecting his career - at Parramatta.
Maguire looked set to take a year out of the game after being punted by the Bunnies late last year and then missing out on the NSW State of Origin job to Brad Fittler.
But WWOS has learned that Maguire is in the frame to take on an assistant coaching role with the Eels in 2018.
Maguire is close mates with Eels coach Brad Arthur - the pair were both in the Melbourne system a few months ago.
Both are Craig Bellamy disciples and share the Storm coach’s no-nonsense work ethic that has made him the most respected coach in the NRL.
The Eels have a vacancy in their ranks following the departure of assistant coach Peter Gentle - ironically to Souths.
Maguire had several approaches in both England and the NRL but wants to keep his young family in Sydney, making the Eels a perfect fit."
