The Knights may have snared highly rated NSW under 19s hooker Matt Arthur this week for the next three years but the odds of his father Brad joining him in Newcastle on the club's coaching staff next season have blown out following suggestions the former Eels coach is now likely to stay in England.
It's understood Arthur had all but agreed to link with his close mate Adam O'Brien as an assistant coach, replacing the departing Rory Kostjasyn, if he ended his coaching stint at Leeds Rhinos at the end of the season to return home. But the mail is he is enjoying the relatively stress-free lifestyle in England and may extend his current short-term deal a further 12 months.
