Former Dragons star Mark Gasnier, a legend in rugby league and renowned as one of the game’s premier centres, has taken on a new role as a specialist coach for the Parramatta Eels.

Gasnier’s expertise will focus on mentoring the Eels’ outside backs, bringing his wealth of experience and technical knowledge to bolster their performance. This move adds another ex-Dragons figure to Parramatta’s growing connection with the Red V, a storyline that has drawn intrigue within the rugby league community.

 

 

Gasnier’s appointment aligns with the Eels’ ambition to refine their attack and strengthen their backline. Known for his sharp footwork, tactical awareness, and ability to unlock defences during his playing days, Gasnier is expected to impart these qualities to the Eels’ outside backs, enhancing their creativity and consistency.

 

 

For Parramatta, which has its sights set on a premiership, such strategic moves underline their intent. Meanwhile, fans of St. George Illawarra may find it bittersweet to see one of their iconic players donning the blue and gold.
