Brad Arthur’s management has offered for the Eels coach to take control of a rival NRL club next season, despite the fact he’s contracted to Parramatta until the end of 2024.
That’s the report of Nine’s Danny Weidler, who added Arthur denied that was the case and made it clear he would remain with the Eels for the length of his contract.
“I approached Brad for comment about this. He said he’s in the dark about any such maneuverings and it’s his intentions to honour his contract with Parramatta until the end of 2024 and try to win a competition with them,” Weidler told 9News.

“So, I guess it’s going to be a case of watch this space and see how the Eels go.”
If Arthur’s management did offer Arthur to a rival, it’s likely the club in question is the Bulldogs or Dragons.
The Bulldogs remain the only club still on the hunt for a coach, after Trent Barrett’s exit.
