Ray Hadley's damning claims of Parramatta Eels coach Brad Arthur

Talkback radio personality and NRL commentator Ray Hadley has claimed Parramatta Eels coach Brad Arthur has lost control over his team.

Speaking on Macquarie Sports Radio breakfast on Monday the 2GB star handed down a damning assessment of the situation at Parramatta and questioned Arthur’s authority at the helm. 

“He’s lost the room. That’s an often-used expression. For the uninitiated, it means he doesn’t control the team anymore,” Hadley said.

“The team runs itself. Therefore, when you lose the team as a coach, you lose the job.
