‘I needed it’: Arthur reflects on Eels sacking

Leeds: Former Parramatta coach Brad Arthur says he’s a better coach now than the one who was sacked by the Eels last year, admitting it was time for both him and the club to go their separate ways.

“A lot of people said I looked relieved and happy, and I felt like I was at the time,” he said about his mid-season sacking 

“I was grateful for the opportunity they gave me. Eleven years, it was a great life and my family got to live a great life. There were negatives with it, but there were plenty of positives with it. I wouldn’t change any of it at all. Probably there’s some lessons there that I maybe knew or some things that I knew I needed to change or got wrong. But sometimes you don’t make those until you get sacked or terminated.

“I’ve looked at it from a perspective of ‘it is what it is, I’ve had a good life and enjoyed it, but what can I learn from it’? So if I got any opportunities again moving forward, is there anything that I could do differently? But I feel a lot of that just comes with time and experience. You don’t learn from anything unless you make mistakes. It’s just making sure you don’t make them over and over.”

  • It would be interesting to hear what he thinks he did wrong,  i wonder if it would be the same as what we think he did wrong?.

  • I wouldn’t change any of it at all...What The Actual Fuck BA...either a stunning lack of  awareness and imagination or another example of why shit like this just isn't worth reading

  • Don't care about the Arthur's.

  • They all say the same shit. One thing he won't have at his next nrl job is getting multiple extensions like he did at parra. Imo he should of been sacked 2018 but anyway good luck to him
