As a lot of us know, Brad Arthur has been coaching his sons under 14's rugby league team this season, The Rhino's 14-1's. This age group & division has been dominated by the Cabra team for many seasons as there are some very special talents in that team & almost every member of the team was picked for reps. However this season go's to Brads under 14's. They finished the season in first place then went through to win against Canley Vale 22 - 10. Well done to Brad not only for the teams success but for taking the time to coach Junior rugby league while basically having to run the Eels this season.
IN BRAD WE TRUST

Great stuff. BA can add a premiership to his resume. I wonder if he will ask for a contract upgrade now.
He failed to think about the fact that BA whilst coaching his kids team is also giving many other kids from other teams to catch his eye ( not in a creepy way )
Hadley is a fine example of a fool. He got rid of the best caller on the station ( Andrew Moore) for his mate thirsty...he needs to get outside more often and watch some junior league. He is an expert, just ask him.
parra jnrs and penrith over many years load there jnr rep s with big islanders , not the best players,
Instead of carrying on about BA coaching a junior rugby league team Hadley should go out there & see what he can do to help out a junior leagues club. I have been involved in junior rugby league for the last 10 years holding positions as coach, trainer, coaching coordinator & club president & over the last 10 years I have experienced how hard it is to get people to help out. To have a man like Brad Arthur assisting at the Rhino's would be huge for the club & the team. Hey Ray, Instead of dishing on Brad while he is out there volunteering his time to help the kids out, Go into your local sporting committee & volunteer some of your time.
P.S. Ray, Volunteering your time is helping out without getting paid.
That last line dashed any chance of him doing so.
Well my boys got knocked over in the GF so I'll reluctantly concede for the moment that BA may be a better coach than me...
Rays mate is obviously running or coaching one of Brads rival teams in that junior comp, hadlies lost the plot if he's whinging about this.
I was at Salesyards to watch the captains run before the Warriors game, when the previous week of junior Grand Finals and prelims were on. A team in a lower division GF (probably 15s) came past and BA shook every kids hand to congratulate them on making their GF and wished them well. The look on their faces said how much that meant to them. Seeing the senior NRL coach for your district at your games is a big deal for these kids.
