He's such a good fit for what we need, calm and experienced pair of hands who commands respect.

Arthur reporting Goudemand out between 4-6 weeks and McCormack out for at least 4 weeks.
Donaldson likely to be added to the matchday squad after recovering from a neck injury along with Newman who suffered a foot injury.
Still no sign of Bentley

He spoke highly about Handley,wonder if he will make him team captain.

From listening to his.press conference the team talk for Saturday is pretty straightforward 'right boys, everything Rohan got you doing, do the opposite'.

He'll do for me, very uncomplicated in his messages I hope he can get a tune out of them soon.

let's hope so seth.

Goudemand is no loss.

Shame about McCormack snd Bentley,though.

Bentley was filmed training yesterday

Spot on,

Hi comments on the defence are what some of were saying for ages and being shot down for pointing out. The passive defence was real, not some imaginary issue.

of course it was. only the cheerleaders thought otherwise

Impressive press conference.
He's been here less than a week but he has dispatched Rohans philosophy of Rugby League to the bin. It maybe too late to save this season but at least we should be heading in the right direction. The squad does need strengthening but
i have wondered what they would be like with a decent coach, hopefully we may now find out.

RS did lots of good stuff at Leeds by all accounts from people who actually know.

He made errors in recruitment and was asking the players to execute something they couldn’t.

BA sounds the real deal. Whether he can get the team to change in the time he has is the question. Many of the errors are down to individual play, not just in flinging it about.

I really hope Arthur can make a difference.

Yep. Also the touch n pass comments and earning the right to play were also interesting. You could see he thought they’d been badly coached

The enthusiasm over Brad Arthur tells us how we’ve drifted away from the basics of the game, which allow any team to make best use of the players at their disposal. Brad has been in the country a very short time, and has done zero preparation regarding the team or the league.
He seems to be exactly what we need at the moment. He has got just the right amount of skin in the game. He will want to protect/enhance his reputation to get himself an NRL job. The best scenario from his point of view is to get the Rhinos playing demonstrably better, and get offered an NRL job. The club get a better performing team to help attract the best new coach.
None of us know how this will pan out. My guess is he will depart at the end of this season. There is a good balance between his needs and the clubs. Blease will get lots of feedback.
