Parramatta veteran Beau Scott feared the worst when coach Brad Arthur gathered the team for a huddle before Fridays NRL match against Manly.Honestly I thought it was going to go the other way, I thought he was going to tell us he was leaving, Scott said.But in the first ray of sunshine on what has been a very dark year at Parramatta, Arthur became the first player or coach to either sign, or re-sign, a deal with the club this year.The defiant Eels coach on Friday put pen to paper on a contract to stay until the end of 2019.Despite the most turbulent season in Parramatta history, Arthur said it wasnt a hard decision.Its easy. I love the club and I love this playing group and were all in it together, he said.It doesnt look great from the outside but trust me its a good strong playing group and theyre all very happy here. They love coming to training. I love my job and I wouldnt change it for anything.The Eels celebrated the re-signing by claiming their 11th win of the season, a 10-9 upset over arch rivals Manly at Pirtek Stadium that all but ended the Sea Eagles finals hopes.Scott said the former Manly assistant coach has been pivotal in the teams ability to play through the dramas this season.I havent been at a club thats gone through the amount of back page and front page stories we have this year. Credit to Brad being able to get the playing group on task every week and able to perform, he said.The victory lifts the Eels to 13th spot ahead of a final month against Brisbane, Canberra, St George Illawarra and the Warriors.

I say some things, and I think they understand -- and then I catch myself and recognize they havent been through it. They havent used our terminology. Its new to them.Dixon said he was more pleased with his teams defensive effort, other than a brief letdown in the second half. TCU gave up just 15 points in the first-half to Alabama State (0-2), the ninth-fewest points allowed in any half by a TCU team.An early 8-0 run gave the Frogs a cushion they never would relinquish. Eleven players saw the court in the first half for TCU, which closed with an 18-2 run over the final 4:10 to go up by 32 at the break.TCU maintained at least a 30-point lead throughout the second half, and even Dixon admitted there wasnt much for him to nitpick about the Horned Frogs performance.Were on schedule, he said.
