NRL great Gorden Tallis believes Brad Arthur was “hard done by” after the Eels announced on Monday night that they had sacked the coach effective immediately.

The only place to watch every game of every round LIVE with no ad-breaks during play is Fox League, available on Kayo.Captain Clint Gutherson has also missed the team’s last two games with a knee injury.“To lose your halfback, and we’ve seen it with other teams, but when you have someone as dominant around the ball as Mitch Moses who touches the ball 60-70 times, they do struggle to win without him.

“That grand final appearance bought him some time but they were disappointing last season and they’ve done the same again this season.”The Daily Telegraph’s Phil Rothfield says Parra’s play last season – when they shockingly missed the finals a year after reaching a decider – was also a contributing factor into the club’s decision to fire Arthur.

“Your talking about Moses and Gutho being crook now and you can look back to the five-eighth Dylan Brown and that stupid last year. It was costly,” Rothfield said.“There was a view on the Parramatta board, that as much as Brad has a good record, he’s probably squeezed everything that he could out of that current roster.
