‘It’s a cruel part of it’: Gutherson says Eels players let Brad Arthur down

Clint Gutherson was devastated to see Brad Arthur sacked last week, but the Eels skipper is confident his former mentor won’t be out of the game for long.

Parramatta captain Clint Gutherson says it was frustrating that he couldn’t be on the park to try to help save Brad Arthur’s job, but he remains confident his former coach will have no trouble at all trying to find another job in the NRL.

Gutherson didn’t have a line of sight on a possible replacement for Arthur, who was sacked by the Eels last week after more than a decade at the helm which included taking them to the 2022 Grand Final.

The coach axing came after registering just three matches so far this season, with the club revealing they had chased master mentor Wayne Bennett to take over, only for him to sign with Souths instead.

Gutherson and Arthur were very close, with the star fullback missing the past few games following minor knee surgery and unable to help him on the field.
