GRATEFUL ARTHUR STAYING PUT
By STEPHEN IBBETSON
BRAD ARTHUR has thanked Leeds Rhinos for their patience as he deliberated his future, saying he couldn't have made the decision to stay sooner.
The former Parramatta Eels coach has signed an extension for 2026, as part of a rolling contract that could continue for future seasons.
Leeds have been much improved since he joined the club last July and are closing in on their first play-off appearance in three years.
While keen to continue, Arthur was also weighing up personal considerations with some of his family, including his two Rugby League-playing sons, still in Australia.
