Arthur has had his first press conference as Leeds Rhinos head coach.
Brad Arthur held his first press conference as Leeds Rhinos head coach on Tuesday, with the Australian meeting the media for the first time as he continues to prepare for his first game in charge. Ahead of the Rhinos' game with Hull KR. Here are some of the key points from his first address.
Arthur insisted that he is not swaying one way or another on that front, with plenty of water to pass under the bridge before he makes a decision on his plans beyond the remainder of the current Super League season. That said, he did say he has "unfinished business" in the NRL. "I don't want to get drawn into whether I'm staying or not because I don't know. What I do know is that I'm going to do my best, I've left my family at home, which shows I'm committed to helping the club right now. If I can do as much as I can to help the club advance through the rest of the year, next year or beyond without me.""The club has put no pressure on me whatsoever, and I'm not putting pressure on myself.
Recruitment plans Arthur admitted to not having a clear understanding of Leeds' scope to recruit right now, but confirmed he had received expressions of interest from players in the NRL. Leeds currently doesn't have any quota spots at their disposal while the salary cap is tight.
