BRAD ARTHUR is well known to be a strict disciplinarian from his time as head coach of the Parramatta Eels in then NRL.
Now, the Australian has brought that edge to Headingley in a bid to help the Leeds Rhinos improve on their eighth-placed finish from 2024.
Arthur was appointed on an interim period until the end of 2024 before striking up a new one-year deal with the Super League club.
And his ruthless streak in training has been shown in a short snippet from the Spirit of the Rhinos documentary.
In a team meeting, Arthur was seen addressing the Leeds squad, telling his players: “Don’t expect me to reinvent the wheel for you in pre-season.
“You are just going to work hard, you are going to f**king work hard in the gym and you are going to lift f**king heavy.
“You are going to get stronger, you’ll be fitter and you will be better at the f**king simple fundamentals of the game.
“I’m not here to babysit you.”
After two seasons of finishing outside the Super League play-offs, the Rhinos will be hoping for a change in fortunes during the 2025 campaign.
