Has a club ever sacked a coach twice in one season?We're all about breaking the wrong type of records so it wouldn't surprise me. But seriously with Barrett, he is supposed to be our defensive coach. We get 30+ points on us on average.
I apologise if this viewpoint is somewhat ridiculous as I started following the eels after Brian Smiths tenure but judging by his multiple grand final appearances it seems like he should surely be considered to be at least an assistant or possibly th
It is funny watching a side like the raiders getting absolutely pummeled by a powerhouse side. Their fans think they are solid top 8 side but in reality they are miles away from a title lol.
Off-contract outside backs for 2025, pretty much all on this list are an upgrade on what we have now, once a coach is sorted, I'd love to see us go after Wilson and Skelton from the dogs, they've got better guys in front of them and are a massive upg
So an unlikely candidate that i would be chasing is current Hull Kingston Rovers coach Willie Peters. He guided the Robins to the Challenge Cup final last year, currently sits 5th on ESL ladder with +93 F/A. He speaks well, is very confident and fort

In light of recent developments, how might you wish. What sort of Eels team are you wishing for? Hard/ resilient, Expansive, consistent, unprodictable? We have been ALL this we done. same repeat? pick a coach who presents something new, just saying
A few hours ago, looking a little worse for wear, Trent Barrett gave his first interview as Eels' caretaker coach since Brad Arthur's dramatic sacking, five days ago, on late Monday afternoon May 20th.
"Let me say, Moses will only look bad if Grant is hooker, no coincidence that Munster see's more ball from Grant than Cleary and that your MOM's are going Munster's way.
It was just as obvious in the previous series when Moses was half and Deardon…"
"No doubt another story you need to tell to qualify you as the humain drug trafficker from down under.
I think the indignity of you supporting the "head hunters" and other retro's like Jarryd and to requalify everything you are decent and proud of is…"
