McFadden - I wanted to coach the Eels - Eels Blogs

A source close to the Warriors coach has made a surprising admission, McFadden had revealed he had a desire to coach the Parramatta Eels, " He enjoyed his time at the Eels as a player and when Ricky Stuart left, He thought it was his chance to become a NRL coach".

When asked why she believed McFadden was not taken seriously by the Eels "He contacted the club at the time, they didn't even bother interviewing him"

As played out heavily through the media Eels chairman Steve Sharp declared Brad Arthur to be the man to coach Parramatta. Halfway through Brad Arthur's second season the Eels sit equal last on the competition ladder, the Warriors sit comfortably in the top 8 under the former Parramatta half.

Warriors CEO Wayne Scurrah has seen enough to declare McFadden could eclipse the success enjoyed by grand final coaches Daniel Anderson and Ivan Cleary.

Andrew McFadden is the key reason behind the recruitment of Isaac Luke and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck for the 2016 season, Those signings give the warriors the most exciting young spine in the NRL.

Warrior's players credit enforcer Jacob Lillyman, the man responsible for concussing Nathan Peats and Isaac De Gois in round 3, the reason for their victory over the Eels at home. One player joked "it's ironic that we face the Eel's forward pack during the women in league round".

Shaun Johnson has been finding his lost form of late and a good performance this week will see him regain his confidence.

Unexpectedly Johnson comes up against Luke Kelly this week, "Johnson may be worried if he breaks the Eel's the line, Luke Kelly has the speed to run him down, It should be a real clash of the speedsters" smirked a member of the Warriors.

"Problem is while not changing the overall result in terms of win or lose, the terrible decisions often happen at crucial times, completely changing the momentum during that smaller period of the game. So often, just when a team is fighting their way…"

"I am a big advocate for Brian Smith to have some sort of role within the club, even around the GM role. I wouldn't give him the GM role but maybe an advisor role or something like that. Get a new GM and have Smith with him."
