If, the job were to start after the 2026 season ends in Europe, then I'd consider bringing his kids over for a year (if the meeting next week on OQS and SC both bring developments). I'd feel better handing over to Langley if BA was to do one more year.

I too don't currently know of anyone I'd want to give the job to for next season, but I'm not Ian Blease...

I?d just fly Arthur to the airport now, he?s no intention of being here next year and we are about 5% better than last year.

Crazy that you can?t see the difference between this year and last year. 

He's been offered $1.1m a season, to coach Perth, apparently. 

2024 after round Nine, 5 wins 4 losses 2024  round Ten 6/4
2025 after round Nine 5 wins 4 losses.  Lose next week 5/5


Results is what matters! not tried hard good effort.  

Its a no from me. Did far too much damage last time. https://www.totalrl.com/rugby-league-agent-puts-forward-shock-name-for-leeds-rhinos-coach-with-brad-arthur-set-for-exit/

Old guard coaching options in order of priority, bearing in mind I don't want any of them back right now:


1. Tony Smith
2. Daryl Powell
3. Brian Mac - for the live of God, no!
4. Danny Ward
5. Rich 'Bodene' Agar
6. Rohan 'some of these dudes don't really need training' Smith
7. Dave Furner
8. (=) Any one of Lowes, JJB, Chev, Long, Hall etc
9. Kevin Sinfield


Anyone I've missed? What's Brian McClennan doing these days?

Seems Sam Burgess is being tipped for the Perth job over BA, I guess only time will tell....

I'd be gobsmacked if this panned out tbh. 

Peter Smith seems to be pretty certain BA is leaving at the season end in his talking points article this week...
