Arthur Sacked- Barrett now in charge of Eels

[nightster]

My brother-in-law is a kiwi and Warriors die hard, but he reckons that’s it … I said ‘come on board 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅’ … he said … No, he’s giving up on following his favourite sport because it’s become an ‘entertainment product’ and has lost its appeal.
I’ll see what happens next season if they start the season well …

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Trent was right - the Warriors dont care, they are a complete disgrace.

Let’s hope they’re still a ‘complete disgrace’ at Stadium Brookvalia in two weeks time.

My money is on AFB and Dylan Walker really turn it on just to knock us out of the race.

The Warriors remind me a lot of the Cowboys in 2023. It’s hard to come off a season as overachieving underdogs that suddenly slip into the top 4.

It’s usually off the back of doing the effort areas of the game really well. The following year can feel like it’s all going to happen again and the effort slips a little. Then when the realisation comes that it’s not just going to happen, it can be too late and/or the team try too hard and errors and frustration creep in.

On top of that, the Warriors have got AFB leaving and Johnson suddenly finding injury after a career best season last year, and it’s easy to see how the wheels have fallen off.

No doubt the media will focus on the warriors during the week leading up to our game which will inspire them to turn up and beat us

I agree with all the posters above: the Warriors will get a press and fan hammering all week and turn up against us to Do Or Die. Seibold and the boys better expect a real tough game.

They don’t play Manly for another two weeks. Not next week, Cloffy’s Jickstrap.

Plus their record at Brookvale is not great.

Agree. That game is in our own hands… nothing to do with the Wahs or media.

I think Baz may take the spoon this year. I'm rooting for him..

So, from a very, very good source

Manly have tried numerous times in the last 10 years to get Brad Arthur back, and there is no coincidence that the extension talks with Seibold came to a screaming halt.

Not saying that means Seibold is under extreme pressure at the moment, but Arthur has been discussed again by the powers that be, and he knows there is interest

The Cowboys have also been in touch with Arthur already

Thought it might be a prudent time to pop this info back into the spotlight

If we don’t offload Jakob he goes up in the likely coaching options.

Someone said in another thread, a story that corroborates with this too. Sounds like this very much may be the case.

This is what I was told today.Reliable source but take it with a grain of salt if you wish




“DCE didn’t extend after Seibold was given extension

DCE, Jake and Tom held meeting with Mestrov last yr before the Seibold extension to tell him Seibold was not the future and he didn't have the support of the players, Mestrov few weeks later extends him

On sacking Seibold, will be at end of season

If Seibold gets sacked before end of season it enacts a 12 month payout

If he gets sacked end of season based on full season poor performance its a 6 month payout

Mestrov last yr wanted Brad...

Was re-signing Jake Arthur for this year just insurance for the coaching staff? I think it's starting to very much look like BA and Ballin will be our coaching staff next year... Should we miss the 8, as we likely will.

Interesting. That source is still impeccable, and Arthur thought he was home and hosed with that Perth job, he was completely caught off guard when they went in another direction, and he was already involved in recruiting some Poms for them. If he did end up here wouldn’t mind a couple of pommy forwards coming
