Super League club Saint Helens will tomorrow sensationally announce the appointment of Parramatta Eels mentor Brad Arthur as their interim head coach for the next 12 months, after he was asked to stand down from the Eels due to the Coronavirus.

The Saints have been looking for a coach since the departure of  Justin Holbrook last year . A three-man coaching team of Derek Traynor, Jamahl Lolesi and the former Great Britain half-back Sean Long had been in temporary charge.

The club had suggested they were in no rush to replace Holbrook even saying Traynor, Lolesi and Long could remain in charge for the rest of the season. However, as exclusively revealed in The Guardian on Monday, the former Super League champions settled on Arthur after being impressed in the 2019 NRL season.

More to come....

  • So being posted before Aprils Fools, does it still count for getting in early ?

    • Mate its not a joke. Search the English papers. Its happening 

      • I thought England was in lock down and all sport cancelled the same as here .so when is this supposed to happen.Oh that's right it is 10.42 pm so close enough for April 1st hey

        • Mate how should i know. All i know is that BA is taking annual leave and be probably on no pay after that. Supee league clubs like St Helens have rich ownership.

      • They just mentioned this on ABC radio, im a bit shocked.

        • From my experience on this site over the years, whenever Snake jumps on board and confirms whatever the controversial post is, then yes you can happily think BS. No offence Snake, but you obviously like stirring the pot. I've seen it too many times.

      • Even though St Helens have already appointed a permanent replacement for Holbrook, with someone who is not mentioned at all in this post. You are only meant to post April Fools stuff on April 1.

    • It is clearly an early attempt at an April Foolds Joke.
