In a twist of fate fit for a classic Rugby League showdown, Parramatta Eels interim coach Trent Barrett's future seems to be sealed, with rumors swirling that he is set to join the Brisbane Broncos after his departure from the Eels in 2024.
Barrett, who climbed the coaching ranks from assistant to head coach after Brad Arthur's mid-season departure, will not be a part of incoming head coach Jason Ryles' plans for 2025.
The Eels wasted no time in announcing their new assistant coaching lineup for the upcoming season, signaling that Barrett's time with the club is coming to an end.
Rumors of Barrett's potential move to the Broncos have been rife, with reports suggesting he could join Kevin Walters' revamped coaching staff at the Brisbane-based team.
These whispers gained momentum when Adam Reynolds, in a recent interview on Triple M Radio, alluded to Barrett's presence with the Broncos staff after a recent clash between the two clubs.
As the Rugby League coaching carousel continues to turn, Barrett's impending move to the Broncos appears to be a near certainty, marking a new chapter in his coaching career filled with fresh challenges and opportunities in the world of Rugby League.
