Normally don’t sack the coach unless a replacement is ready
Has Bennett confirmed south’s ?

Would Brad Arthur work under webby?
Arthur as an assistant would be okay.

Trent Barrett new coach

Eels drop bombshell on Brad Arthur
The coach has been under enormous pressure in recent times.

It couldn’t get any worse for them with Barrett named as interim coach
Well actually Nathan Brown is there.
Nah he left this season I think
An 11th hour raid for Bennett is the word. Don't think they will get him though.
Can see this being a bit of an own goal.
Trent Barrett as interim will improve results by virtue of getting key players back. No doubt they will sign him and we will be making the same comments in 2 years time

Jason Demetriou? 
I know they are having a bad season but it is still a big call after years of stability and being in the finals consistently. Moses being out is a big loss.
A new coach may get them going better than they are now. They may also get them going better than Arthur did. More often than not after sacking a coach teams struggle to find the right one.
There is a saying not used very often. You don't want to be the coach after the long term coach. You want to be the one after the replacement.

It will be interesting to see where he ends up. Getting an assistant who has had first grade experience is a big get for any club. Especially someone with his experience.
Coaches that have had brief stints as a first grade coach have ended up back as an assistant. A club picking up Arthur not only gets a good assistant, but also someone can step up if needed.
The Roosters picked up Holbrook who has experience at St Helens and the Titans. I did find it funny on NRL360 that they were throwing him up as an option for the Eels. Found it funny as remember the last time the Roosters lost an assistant and the uproar that caused. Those guys (NRL360 muppets) have short memories.

Arthur was decent at Manly, and has had a fairly okay run at the Eels. A 52% win percentage aint shabby, neither is 3 semis and a grand final in the last 5 years. Clubs need change, but there is no way in the world that Barrett is a better coach than Arthur.
Barrett and Brown, I don't think the Warriors have stooped that low. Don't mention Bluey.

Cartwright at Broncos no? I would think he would be a decent assistant. Maybe he could pull Dyaln Brown over

His press conference yesterday would suggest he is going to in these next couple of days. It seemed like a done deal from his manner.
Arthur's 50th birthday tomorrow...ouch.
Meh Brad Arthur is just a victim of the game and roster. The eels haven't adapted as fast and their 2nd row is a disaster. Doesnt mean he's a crap coach
