Bar Daley and Holbrook they would all do better than BA , for the situation the eels are in Smith is the only option.
He needs to come in for 2 years and rebuild the club from the ground up then find the right coach to take over with Smith to be footy manager .
The Way Brad Arthur had totally fucked our footy club we need a a experienced coach who knows what he is doing , No point getting a untried dope because that it what got us in this mess in the first place .
Realistically of the available people I would go in this order.
1.Maguire
2.Toovey
3.Hasler
4.Taylor
Brian Smith should be considered but I doubt he would be interested in a coaching role. If he was then I would definitely give him the assignment of fixing the joint then offloading to someone else and then take on the Football Managers role. You could then bring in the best young coach and get Smithy to help.
"HFK, If I'm wrong about Pezet & he turns out to be a complete lemon, so be it. We all get things wrong, make mistakes, make assumptions that prove to be wrong. Better to focus on improving ourselves, between the ears, bit by bit, than being right."
"Whether there is a definitive answer or not, it'll have nothing to do with us signing Pezet. He was only available for 2026. He had already signed with the Broncos long term from 2027."
"I have been highly critical of the decision and have copped a little blow back for it, let's see in 12 months time with the eels heading into the 2027 season if they don't have a definitive answer on who will be our long term 6 if the people…"

Or Justin Holbrook
Maybe a combination of Smith/Holbrook
Justin Holbrook 13 wins 2 losses at St Helens this year & made the final four in the Super league play offs in 17.
He also knows our development systems having coached here previously
Took our 20s to the finals before being poached by the Roosters - he's my pick if available.
Have an experienced head of coaching ( SMITH) above him.

We need to first totally dismantle the Arthur era before we look to be competitive
BA
LOL Couldn't do worse Bert.
