Parramatta's Season Balances On A Razor's Edge

If Brad Arthur were deposed tomorrow, you'd hardly find an Eels fan who would disagree.

Facing a horror run and at least the next six weeks without general Mitchell Moses, Parramatta’s season is slipping away. Brad Arthur has a highly rated halfback but will the coach pull the trigger?

Following the Wednesday review, Arthur doubled down on what he said in the round four press conference, explaining what went wrong with the Eels against the Tigers. 

"We played a soft style of football" and "looked for soft options".
