How big a mess are the Eels in right now

Crikey, I'm bloody glad I don't back the Eels if Barrett lands the gig... they've axed much better in my opinion.

They fired a coach for reaching the grand final despite injuries and lack of player accountability, and now they plan to hire someone worse and expect improvement?

That's bloody ridiculous mate, Parramatta are gonna lose all the top players and won't be able to snag any decent ones, except for old blokes looking for an easy pay day before they call it quits or head to the super league.

Well, it seems like we ain't gonna be checking off winning a championship from our bucket list anytime soon... smh 🙄 William Fox

I've been reppin' this team forever, but they never come through with a win. I've been ride or die for them, but if they blow it this time, I'm out.

Best of luck, parra! 😂

They really want to reach that 50-year mark without winning a grand final, don't they? 🤣

He could choose the team and with a good player, the results will come.

He's just a sidekick coach - there's no chance he'll ever be the boss coach!

Every other team is barracking for him to snag it 🤦‍♂️ Kylie Jordan

Seems like the Eels and my Tigers are happily settling for average. Luke Hall

Wow, he totally crushed it with Manly and Canterbury! Bianca Rizzo

I reckon I'd prefer to see Brad Arthurs back in charge of the Eels rather than Trent Barrett. Let's find someone else to take over Barrett's spot. Michelle Thomas

It's gonna be like another four decades before they can take home a championship. Craig Ward
