From a Perth point of view I think it would be a big mistake to pass on Arthur. I'm sure he'd do a great job. From a Leeds point of view, with 2nd half of the season fast approaching, it's time we got a decision out of him. Don't think we can afford him waiting out a NRL coach to be sacked and then leaving us at the end of the season. If he truly wants away better to make a decision in the next couple of weeks in order to give him (BA) the opportunity to focus on getting us to peak for the playoffs without the press speculation, and Blease to execute whatever contingency plan he no doubt has up his sleeve.
BA seemed to bristle when James Deighton asked him about the McNamara rumours and if he's spoken with Perth. He said he'd heard nothing of the McNamara rumours and he was still coach, "unless you want me out." Did concede he'd spoken to Perth "at some point." Not sure what to make of it, but hope that if he's overlooked for the Perth job, he'll stay another year. I think we're waiting on the Perth decision, which was thought would be announced this week. If BA is overlooked, I think we'll get a pretty swift decision from him either way. | | |

If I had a choice, I'd like us to get Herbie Farnworth from the Dolphins.
Wouldn't be classed as a quota spot and is a quality centre. Tackle breaker and try scorer, as well as being able to supply his winger
Absolutely no chance of that happening. Interesting point is this. I agree there's zero chance of it happening, but is that because we don't have the cash to tempt him or because, even if we did, regardless of what we paid him, he wouldn't leave the NRL at this stage of his career. He’s on $850,000 dollars a year. Whilst we could put him as Marquee that would mean dropping a current marquee salary and we would have to be paying him quite a bit more than he’s in to tempt him away from the NRL. He’s lived there since a teenager, in his prime and considered one of the best in the NRL. Those types of players coming to the SL are long gone. Yep.If he qualified he would be playing Origin. | | | |

I don't disagree. My question was one of principle. If enough money was offered, and assuming the marquee rule was adhered to, could any SL club attract an individual of Farnworth's quality, in their pomp, or is the quality of the NRL too much of a draw for them. | | |

No team in SL can afford or attract anyone of his quality in the NRL, maybe when he’s 32/33 and ending his career. As I say the days of attracting those sorts of players are long gone. | | |

We've not got a cat in hells chance of signing the elite young superstars in the NRL. We will ultimately get them in the latter years of their careers, and by that time you don't know what their physical conditions are or also their intentions upon landing in SL. Take a look at players like Luke Keary and Tevita Pangai Junior for example, who have both come over for a holiday judging by their performance so far this season at Catalans | | | |

Croft is a bit of an enigma, the quality is undoubtably there but he seems to be going through the motions sometimes.
Hes just back from a layoff and feeling his way back in I suppose .
