It looks to me he won`t be here in 2026 more or less saying he prefers to move back to the NRL and has unfinished business there.
Maybe we should be tapping him up for some insider knowledge who we might be able to go after should he decide to leave.
He knows probably all the coaches and their assistants and knows what is needed here.
This.
As much as I'd love Arthur to stay this has all the hallmarks of homesickness and ambitions to coach back in the NRL.
I'm not saying he's stringing us along but I do think there is a bit of stalling for time / not committing until the landscape of the NRL starts to flesh out a bit more. There's a few coaches there ATM under huge pressure and you just dont know if the axe will swing.
Arthurs been pretty much upfront since day one so if he did get an NRL offer he would more than likely take it which is fair enough.
I would hope that there's irons in the fire WRT a replacement with Blease so if the worst happens and he goes before the end we are not disrupted as previous seasons changing coaches halfway through and we don't get fobbed of with another assistant taking over in temporary charge, I'm with you lot, no half measures - proven coach or nothing.
