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.

Quote: Once were Loiners "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.'"


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.

Very interesting interview, like most Aussies I know he’s direct and honest about the state of the club and playing side. I liked the fact he wants to return to a style of rugby that we know works, he’s clearly despatched the RS game plan, and replaced it with the simple fundamentals of RL, run hard, win collisions, earn the right to throw the ball around when you’ve got field position.

We will improve under him, however long he’s here for.

He seemed to go against every Rohan philosophy of rugby i.e. passive defence, soft rugby, touch and pass, earning the right to play etc.

He also mentioned how it was difficult to assess players on previous performances as they were essentially being asked to play another sport. See how these players perform when playing proper rugby before judging. I suspect some players will look much better when playing rugby the way it is meant to be played.

It's quite scary that everyone is simply relieved to have a coach who wants to do the basics rather than try take shortcuts etc.

Lots of good stuff ?. Smith has absolutely devasted us, no apologies for once again pointing out that he has set us back a few seasons with his hopeless signings. Obviously we have contractual obligations to them so it will be quite some time before we can offload them. Errors in recruitment has to be the biggest understatement of the year. The situation with Arthur whilst welcome is far from ideal, this is due entirely to Smiths incompetence. Arthur has at least given us a framework/format to work with, ironically it’s more or less what several of us have been advocating for months. Expecting a big aggressive performance in our next game. Failing that we are really up the creek without a paddle.

The initial impression is how far ahead of the SL the NRL is - different game.

I like his honesty - he wants to be in the NRL.

Arthur is a serious coach - it will be a shock to some of the players the standards he will require in training never mind on the field. Interesting see how often he mentions Blease.

No matter how long he stays he will add some real value to the Rhinos - it will show the quality the club needs when it appoints the next coach - possibly Arthur will recommend an emerging coach to replace him.

Arthur IMO is levels above most if not all coaches in SL. Will be very interesting to see how the players react to his coaching.

It's lightyears ahead. SL will never ever be as good but it has fallen back even further in recent years but that's a different topic all together..

Depressingly you are correct, however they seem to do the basics better than us. Mainly running hard on to the ball and an aggressive defence. If we could adopt that mentality it would give us a good platform to close game’s out. On the plus side, I am optimistic as to the future for the team as we have finally come to the conclusion that we aren’t doing the basics right. I might be wrong, but I think Smiths plan was to have a lightweight pack and play a high tempo game. Eventually wearing teams down, anyway that’s all in the past.

Just shows you do not need loads of tries to be a great game.

Quote: christopher "It’s more that the rules are different over there aren’t they I think both points are true. When youve got a group of players who can perform the basics at a high level consistently you'll likeley feel more confident to take an early risk too. What would be daft would be trying to doing that stuff with a rabble who concede meters and caugh the ball up for fun before theyve got those basics in hand icon_wink.gif
