[@fat.s9601]

as a parra fan i still feel for BA he pulled us out the dirt in those early years and sacking him mid year was crappy from parra we lost gutho and moses of course we weren’t gonna do well if we had kept losing with our main players i would be fine with it but should have been at the end of the season

[@bayleykennett6518]

That’s true i think they thought Bennett would sign and did this to try get him last minute

[@kinglazy21]

This is how I feel

[@imalwaysright]

Gives them more time to look for a new coach and secure people before they find a job somewhere else. Also important for player retention and recruitment. Also gives Brad more time to look for a new job.

[@lokylock2287]

As a Souths fan I didn't think we were a club that lets our coach go mid season, same goes for Parra I didn't think we were one of those clubs all the best to the coaches but they'll be back

[@aidanleicester8512]

Real poor effort from the board BA didn’t deserve that

[@kavikakuz4930]

As a Penrith fan I actually feel that BA deserved to at least be given a chance. The board should’ve waited for Mitchell Moses to return and see if the results changed.

[@GuyMorris-oq2zp]

Same mate I'm a Panthers fan also and I agree 100%. I like BA, bloody good bloke and if anyone at Parra needed the arse it was the board. I honestly think this is a huge mistake by Parra, I wish Brad all the success he deserves, top bloke and a bloody good coach.

[@frankthetank5445]

They aren’t going to be finals contenders this year and an interim coach like Barrett (who also has been sacked) isn’t going to be doing anything either so why not let Brad just finish out the year. What a cutthroat business.

[@banjopiggottwright1802]

As a proud Dragons supporter, I congratulate BA on his stellar stint as Parramatta coach and wish him all the best for the future ahead.

[@Jim-Greek]

Didn’t know that Brad was such a top bloke. He stood tall and accepted his sacking very well in the media albeit disappointed but who wouldn’t be really. Much respect to you BA ✊🏽

[@Daewonnni]

I remember where Parra was when Arthur took over. Every real Eel’s fan should. The team was an absolute shambles. Brad built a foundation over the last ten years for the next guy to build on.

[@116projectsromans4]

Built it well. 11 years the board could at least let him see out the rest of the year just out of respect for what he had done for the club. Top man

[@mtang1411]

It nice to see that BA is taking the dismissal well n not personal. It's the nature of team sport, if the team doesn't perform, the coach will usually have to take the blame. BA has had a good innings at the Eels, 11 years. Thank you for your service at the Eels n good luck with your next endeavour.

[@Dragon-hm4pq]

BA will get another job.

Parra should also sack their recruitment manager. Lomax the only decent signing in years!

[@KatoEasternDragon]

If he loved it, he would of put more effort into everything. From defending his players, his job, every aspect. But when people quietly go into the night, it means they have nothing left to give and will step down or run out of their contract. This guy was forced to be removed and all he could do is this. No passion left, no effort

Feel sorry for him, and being replaced be Trent Barrett is a slap in the face. On another note, I wish someone would tell him when to use “me” and when to use “my”. The suits will think he’s poorly educated, which is a disadvantage when dealing with the snakes in the board room.

[@InsaneTriller93_]

F**k man hearing him talk about our club like that makes me think… Was he really the problem ?, Where you hear a bloke speak so highly and genuine about something it makes you wonder why we did what we did , Who is really responsible, Who is really meant to answer for the downs of the club, is it the players, is it the CEO, Is it the football manager who ?!?!?, It really sucks we had to do BA like that I know deep down he was only doing what he was told nothing more, I honestly think the board wasn’t behind him and was always dictating from upstairs. Look, wherever he ends up I know he’ll wear his heart on his sleeve and definitely do a tremendous job. As for us (EELS) , I really hope this was the right move and hopefully we can move forward and get someone off BA like- ness to take charge next season. Dolphins next maybe ?… would love to see it tbh, I know Queensland would treat him a lot better

Yes Brad Arthur taking the fall for his lazy team. Parramatta's team of lazy players need to go also. It's easy to blame the coach but look at the performance of the players, you can't tell me they are playing with any effort.

[@chuck_217]

No class from Parra here. 11 years. Took us to contenders. Has a below average squad apart from halves (which have been unavailable for large parts of the last couple of seasons). Give him a better squad and the narrative is changed…. Personally believe this will put parra in rebuild mode for the next 5 years … disappointing

DUMB DUMB DUMB, So disrespectful to sack their coach of 11 years, who was there through some of the worst scandals and got the club out of it, Sure i want a premiership but sacking this guy midseason to try and save your season with 2 stars out is a joke. Parra board needs to go. Its results driven yes, but you cant help injuries especially of your best players. Honestly feel brad was still the guy, If im gonna be honest this season was probably over if you take into account that moses will be playing origin as well and we wont have him for those games either. But i cant blame brad for any of this.
