[Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

[Damien2812]

I knew this day would come with Baz taking over as Eels coach. Baz might finally get his 1st wooden spoon..😜

 

[Frogz]

Barrett coach for the rest of year.... Now that is lol at Parra

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Bugger , would have loved them to resign him for a decade.

 

[Uk eagle]

Turns 50 tomorrow??? In the words of Agent J, he's got some city miles

Barrett keeps doing a Bradbury

Won’t matter what he does… I have been convinced that Mr Bennett will be at Parra next year since he uttered the following quote earlier this year…

“I loved Jack Gibson and Ron Massey ... both wonderful men. They were big influences on my life and my coaching life but that doesn't mean that is going to get me to the Eels.”

To me it was Wayne stating a clear interest while letting the directorship know that they will need to up/refine their offer…

If they HAVE secured Wayne then it makes sense that they would make the call on Arthur now while the iron is hot rather than run the risk of the team going on a hot run into the finals once Moses comes back and THEN sacking Brad…

Good point!

So it’s not official that Bennett has signed with souffs?

 

[Disco]

Lol at Parra, they win on the weekend and we lose....The Lol team are 1 point behind us.

They lose and we win and they are 5.

Hypotheticals can make any arguement you want.

Not to my knowledge… they want him but nobody has said he is over the line… plus Wayne knows how much of a sh^tshow the bunnies are and the influence/power of certain players has only grown since Wayne left for the broncos… players that Wayne brought thru have been discarded and it needs a complete makeover of the power dynamics - I don’t reckon Wayne could be f*cked when the squeels are in a better position and offer a bigger reward (first premiership for 40 years)

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

From the 1eyedeel site. This person has an interesting third choice for 2025 Parramatta coach:

 

[XV-1]

Could he be any worse?

Yesterday’s result notwithstanding, Parramatta have generally looked like a more capable defensive team than Manly, for the bulk of Arthur’s tenure.

My view is that he played a big part in getting Manly into the 2013 Grand Final.

Interestingly, Penn has apparently always been a Brad Arthur fan. So maybe Anthony S-bend needs to really lift his game if he wants to survive as coach beyond this season.

Would Seibold have the balls to hire him as an assistant?
Would Brad do it?

Many questions. Hopefully this gets Seibold to pull the fist out of his fat arrsse.

It’ll be interesting to see what becomes of souffs if they do indeed miss out on Bennett.

Rusty has Bennett for sure.

Wayne’s media mouth piece,Peter Badel,just said Bennett has rejected an offer from the Eels.Make of that what you will and Bennett is always cagey,but when Badel talks Wayne stuff,it’s normally straight from the horses mouth

Yeah I have been in Japan for a week and missed a bit of media by the look of it… just saw this which (whilst not confirming) seems to indicate he is back to the bunnies…

Wayne Bennett makes staggering first move as South Sydney coach

The 74-year-old has already played one hand months before swapping the Dolphins for the Rabbitohs.

7news.com.au

I am really quite surprised he went that way but who am I to question the “SuperCoach” I guess…

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

The Eels Club has said that Twent will be taking over .........

With Barrett back, that will make at least four coaches in the NRL who ‘enjoy’ myth status. Along with Anthony, Camiraldo and Adobrien.

 

[Ranga]

The supreme irony would be the appointment of Barrett as interim head coach - if Brad is sacked before season’s end - with three former Manly players that he either did not want at Manly (Gutherson, Lussick), or who left in dismay (Lane)* in the Parramatta squad.

*In response to Barrett’s noted (cough) man management skills during and after the ‘Hastings affair’.

Nailed it!

 

[manlyfan76]

Arthur could have got them to the 50 year anniversary..
Barrett would definitely get them there.

 

[nightster]

But have they done a sneaky with the Waynegod

Yep. I would take Arthur as our defensive coach. We sure as f**k need one, and as Terry says, the last time he was our defensive coach (under Tooves), we made the grand final - and would have won it if not for Shayne Wayne Hayne's MVP efforts on behalf of the Roosters that day.

Arthur landed the Eels job (as well as Foran and Watmough) on the strength of his time at Manly. Players apparently love him, and I actually think he's a decent coach. Having him back on our coaching staff would not be a crazy idea.

Reports say they started chasing Wayne in early May but he told them he was too far down the track with Souffs.
