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.”

Some of the comments...absolutely brutal!! Love it. No love lost here for BA, I'm glad this prick is gone from the club. I was done with him as far back as 2014 IIRC. My partner used to laugh at me complaining about his one dimensional game plan every god damn season.
The fact he wasn't a look in for either the Bears, or what I believed the stars were aligning for, the Knights, speaks volumes. The other clubs don't like the smell of his bullshit. He can join the likes of Geoff Toovey of submitting his resume on every head coach position, and it going straight into the bin.
