Ray Hadley is questioning Parramatta Eels coach Brad Arthur’s ability to break the team’s near 36-year drought.

The Mornings host has detailed the Eels’ woeful track record under Arthur, with a winning record of 52 per cent.

It follows their loss to the Bulldogs yesterday.

“It was an annihilation,” Ray said.

Arthur was the first head coach in 112 seasons to coach a side for seven consecutive years without one preliminary final.

 
 

His contract has been extended until the end of 2024.

“The Parramatta fans have put up with this nonsense long enough, they deserve to have a premiership.”

  • Hadley = Fitzgerald. 

    • Though Mutt why take it out on BA? He had nothing to do with Fitzgerald's demise, and BA going would do nothing for Fitzgerald at all.

      I could be wrong if someone is willing to enlighten me. Very rare i disagree with you Mutts haha.

      • It's not a consirpacy. They're best mates, they don't deny it. Fitzy has proudly told me in the past that "I'll get Ray to say...". I thought everyone knew that?

        • Oh i know Hadley and Fitzy are friends. Just saying what benefit does Fitzy or Hadley get out of demanding BA to be sacked?

          • Destabalising the club, making cause for change, rattle the cage so when there's any chance for a power grab (elections etc) Fitzy is right in frame to be the "white knight" and put an end to "all the madness".

            White anting happens over time, sows the seeds of fear, uncertainty and doubt. Fitzy is many things, but he ain't dumb. This is 100% playing to the emotions of the fanbase to keep that FUD pumping and raise the bile levels.

            • ***this

            • Fair enough Cap, never thought of it that way.

          • The benefit for a egomaniac narcissist like Fitzy is to hold onto the opinion that outstimg him wasn't a good move.  Even today , to him , it's still like it happened yesterday therefore if BA won a premiership, or we are successful it's a reflection on the move to get him out.  He needs us to be failing to feel validated. 

            Fitzy , Ray Price and the likes need the club to need them . When it doesn't they will do anything to bring it down so they can feel like it needs them again. 

    • Yep, you gotta read between the lines with the agendas. Also typical moronic statements "the Eels fans deserve a premiership" - playing to pure emotion without actually giving a realistic option.

      Change for changes sake is stupid, reflexive and emotional. I'm not saying we shouldn't change, but we need to change with logic front of mind.

        • Or we can just leave it how things are for the next twenty years and somehow expect our fortunes to change?
