In a surprising development, Trent Barrett, the Assistant Head Coach of the Parramatta Eels, has stepped down from his role following the suspension of star forward Reagan Campbell-Gillard. The situation has sent shockwaves through the NRL community as details emerge regarding the circumstances leading to both events.
Reagan Campbell-Gillard, a key player for the Eels, was recently suspended due to an alleged breach of team and league conduct policies. The exact nature of the violation has not been publicly disclosed, but it is understood to involve off-field behavior that contravenes the club’s standards. The suspension is a significant blow to the Eels, who rely heavily on Campbell-Gillard’s experience and power in the forward pack.
Trent Barrett’s decision to step down as Assistant Head Coach is reportedly linked to the handling of the Campbell-Gillard situation. Sources close to the club suggest that Barrett was unhappy with the internal processes and decisions surrounding the suspension, leading to his departure. Barrett, who joined the Eels’ coaching staff with a wealth of experience, including previous head coaching roles, had been seen as a valuable asset to the team.
