One of the coaches under the most pressure entering the season, Brad Arthur, is set to change his approach after an abysmal 2023 season saw the Parramatta Eels miss out on the finals.
Heading into last season, expectations were high for the Eels after making the Grand Final the previous year.
However, injuries, suspensions, and inconsistent form would derail their season as they failed to make the top eight and attempt to break the longest premiership drought in the NRL.
This has caused the 49-year-old coach to change his focus and apply a new-look approach this off-season as he looks to bring success to the club.
“I think he has understood more so than ever the importance of being unified as a team and all working together towards the same goal,” Shaun Lane
“I know he’s been doing a lot of work on himself too, it doesn’t just stop with us – it starts with our leadership and he’s done a great job working on himself over the off-season and figuring out what he needs to do better for us.
“I think it’s coming out in our pre-season training program, it feels like the best program I’ve ever been put through. It’s actually been quite enjoyable considering the fact you’re getting flogged every day.
“I’ve been really impressed with Brad in this off-season and I’m confident in what he’s been feeding to us.”
