Fresh update provided as Parramatta Eels line up summer transfer move for Penrith Panthers player…
Reports have emerged that the recently sacked head coach Brad Arthur is interested in coaching in Super League, should a position become vacant.
Arthur was sacked just a day shy of his 50th birthday with Parramatta Eels higher-ups pulling the trigger on the man who had coached them for a decade.
Brad Arthur first took a caretaker role at the club back in 2012 before ascending to the role of head coach on a permanent basis in 2014, during which time he coached 258 games and took the Eels to the Grand Final once.
That Grand Final defeat came in 2022, the second of Penrith Panther’s current streak of NRL titles, but since then the Eels had placed 10th and were languishing near the bottom of the table when he was sacked in May after just three wins in ten this campaign.
Sam Burgess was initially on the shortlist to be the new head coach there, whilst recent reports have also put Matt Peet on that shortlist as well. However, it now appears that Brad Arthur himself could be headed to Super League following a report that he is interested in a head coaching gig.
