Brett Kenny to coach Wentworthville

Eels legend Brett Kenny will coach Wentworthville's NSW Cup feeder club next year, replacing Rip Taylor. “Brett is a quality addition to our coaching ranks and we think that under his leadership Wentworthville will continue to prosper in the NSW Cup,” Pirtek Parramatta Eels Chief Executive Paul Osborne said in a media statement. “In just two NSW Cup seasons our partnership with the Wentworthville Club has gone from strength to strength and we feel that Brett’s appointment will only make it stronger again.” In Kenny's last season of coaching in 2006, he led Penrith's SG Ball side to a premiership. The Eels also officially confirmed Peter Sharp's appointment as assistant coach. "Peter is enormously experienced both in Australia and overseas and his skills will add a great deal to the Club,” Osborne said. “He’s been in the office now for the past few weeks working with Daniel Anderson and Matt Cameron, planning for the season ahead. “He also has a number of established relationships, having worked with some of our players in the past, which will certainly be a bonus when the on-field preparation for 2010 begins.”

"google says I'm wrong. So apparently I could be. I swear I've heard it mentioned a many times Ryles was managed by Issac Moses. Apologies if that's incorrect. "

I just wonder where Rip Taylor is heading. He's proven over the last 4 years or so that he is a very good coach. His results are very impressive.

id love to see the eels legends , edge,price,grothe snr,kenny and sterlo ,and cronin go spend 2 or 3 weekends with the eels around semi finals time , what a boost for the team and great leadership ,advise , inspiration . We know joey johns does it , but lets never forget the sterlo/kenny combo or the kenny/ella combo , even though it was the 80,s we never stop talking about them , what lessons our young jarryd hayne and mortimer can learn from them will be priceless
