The players are accountable for the outcomes, not the coach. Gillian O'Riordan
Brad Arthur has assembled a squad that can't cut the mustard. Still on him.
He's been there for a decade and achieved bugger all. He's ditched promising young players but insisted on keeping his own kid in the team. Fair dinkum, he should've been shown the door in 2021.
We lucked out with our sick board and they finally had the balls to ditch Brad... Barrett's gonna lead us to the 2024 Grand Final for sure (ain't no bunch of bums gonna hold us back now). This our year, baby! Let's go, Mighty Eels!
Brad brought home several wooden spoons, he had to leave. Now, Barrett is going to win one rightfully. Also, get rid of Barrett.
Perhaps instead of blaming the coach, players should put in more effort and listen to coaching staff while coaches should bench players who do not earn their spot back.
They wanted to get away, so why not kick out the coach? The board members should be checked out too, too many slackers there, and if the players aren't doing well, blame them. Too much money being spent.
NRL has become a commercialized game, with constant rule changes to increase speed and excitement for profit. Coaches are disposable and soon matches may become scripted for financial gain. Jane Wood
The team took a U-turn ever since Barrett joined the squad! Bonnie Bennett
I believe Barrett was involved in Brad's dismissal, as he was quiet in the coaches box during the STORM game. He is the attack coach. Signed, a STORM fan.
Ok, now crack on with some player's. Leonardo Ruggiero
Don't forget about the 17 top-tier players on the field before pointing fingers at the coach again! John White
We gonna see them ball out now but I don't think they gon' blame the coach who gets fired halfway through the season.
Get rid of Barrett too, he can't be our coach or else we're gonna have even more crappy games. Steven Walsh
Trent Barrett, are you kidding? He will lead them to becoming the next Newtown Jets or North Sydney Bears. Caroline Hall
Thanks mate for getting it done fast and without any mucking around. Can't be leaving the laundry out to dry for ages, right? Sorry Brad, just the way it goes for NRL coaches these days.
What if Gutherson, Shaun Lane, Junior Paulo, Morgan Harper, and J'Maine Hopgood were all on the same bus as Brad Arthur?
Thank you for everything, some players need a wake-up call, enjoy family time.
they gotta quit axing coaches and make the players take responsibility for their lack of actions.
Maybe do a total purge, it ain't all on Brad, gotta start with the higher-ups.
Who would wanna be an NRL coach one minute, then cactus the next? Francesca Spurgo
They should have fired Trent Barrett too, he's like half the reason why they've been doing so poorly.
