NRL: Parramatta Eels coach Brad Arthur speaks to the media after their round 7 loss to the Dolphins.
A furious Brad Arthur did not mince his words after the Eels’ 44-16 loss to the Dolphins on Friday night, calling his squad a “ part time footy team.”
“We pick and choose when we want to play and we pick and choose in the 80 minutes when we want to make a tough choice or a soft choice, because that second half wasn’t good enough.”“There’s only a handful of players at this club at the moment that choose to come every week to play with the right mentality and toughness... and want to be an 80-minute footballer and the want to be an NRL player every week.
“They’re the ones who have to come and enjoy playing 80 minutes, the good parts of it and the hard parts of it. “This is not on Gutho. I’m not dissolving myself of any of this responsibility... but the players choose what attitude they come with for the 80 minutes,” he added.
