He played for NSW u20’s.

 

[Noise]

he's a Kiwi

He’s played for Samoa but I thought that was his 2nd tier choice after Australia?

 

[Chipmunk]

So $2.8 million for a bloke that hasn't represented a tier one nation either?

Zero Tackle has Arthur signed for 2019 only.

Pretty sure it was confirmed by Max or Bernie that he was only contracted for one more year as well.

@Avenger must be cheering it's not longer.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Max would be licking his chops right now at the thought of re-signing BA on the cheap.

I'd do it for $100 000. Call me Max.

 

[84 Baby]

Honestly I reckon if things don’t substantially turn around during Origin period, BA will fall on his sword. I’d love to give him next year but I reckon for his own career he’d be better off jumping before things are record book shit

Pfft there are people around here who already do it for free

By fall on your sword, I think you mean negotiate a release.

He is signed for big coin if you believe reports. Nobody in their right mind would “ do the right thing” and walk away from big six figures x 18 months.

Unless he thinks things are as bad as they can get, in which case he will want to stay and turn them around.
