Brad Arthur may be forced to quit the Eels

Parramatta Eels coach Brad Arthur is under pressure to quit his job at Channel 7.
Brad Arthur, who is better known by his stage name "Simon Reeves" is the host of Channel 7's successful Million Dollar minute.

Arthur replaced Grant Denyer in November 2013 after Denyer quit the job sighting family reasons.
The Parramatta Eels reluctantly agreed to allow Arthur to host the game show if it did not impact on Arthur's commitment to coaching the Eels.

Brad Arthur is under pressure from both his employers, the Eels have lost consecutive matches and are now outsiders to make the finals while recent performances on Million Dollar Minute have seen Arthur fail to smile the required 17 minutes of filming.
Only a few months ago Brad Arthur was living both his childhood dreams, to be an NRL coach and a successful game show host.

Arthur must choose between his two passions or risk losing them both, his ultimate goals were to win a premiership and to host Deal or No Deal.

Arthur's fate could come down to a legal battle between The Parramatta Eels and Channel 7, neither organisation are willing to release Arthur from his contract, both agree that Arthur cannot be successful while committed to both parties.
