BRAD Arthur must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

The Eels coach angrily batted away questions about his club’s recruitment strategy as his side prepares to bounce back from a crushing two-point loss that would have given them three straight wins.

Arthur, whose Eels are 2-7 coming into Round 10’s match against western Sydney rivals Canterbury, had very little patience for queries about any potential interest in off-contract winger Josh Mansour and Israel Folau.

"They have never been in a position of not getting what they want. They said when first started Ryles should just tell the board to let him go as they let him go, despite not letting him touch Storm players for 12 months, they also said the Sydney…"

"I'm sick of all the attention this bloke is getting. Go play bush footy for 3 years. End of story. You made your bed - now sleep on it..The NRL and the Storm can well and truely go get f....."

Lol why are they surprised, how many times can the guy say no and they keep asking? I'd get the shits and leave too. Surely they know even if we are after them he can't just come out and say "Yeah mate we're definitely trying to sign these blokes".

  First sign of pressure? The journo repeatedly asked Folau after BA said he's not discussing recruitment and he hasn't spoken to Folau, nor is he interested at all. That journo then continued to ask about Folau.
