NRL: The NRL 360 panel discuss the likelihood of Blues coach Michael Maguire taking the role of head coach at the Parramatta Eels.
Having missed out on Wayne Bennett , Parramatta’s coaching search is set to be far-reaching – and rival State of Origin coaches are in the mix.
But James Hooper said the prospects of Slater joining Parramatta were far-fetched: “Tell them they’re dreaming. Billy Slater, no chance … they’re shooting for the impossible.He added: “The only club I could ever see Billy coaching is Melbourne Storm, and that’s if he has a desire whatsoever to coach in the NRL – which at this point with all his media commitments, all his other commitments in life, I don’t think he does.
James Hooper said: “Madge is about to go into an Origin series, surely he’s not worried about the Parramatta job right now … surely his focus, just for the next eight weeks, has got to totally be NSW. Then when he gets through that he can begin to talk to Parramatta.”
