Training with an NRL squad / coaches and being surrounded by elite players since you were years old is going to give your career an absolute kick start compared to others coming through the system.
Then add in the fact the club is willing to give you first crack at 9 in every age group ( despite more talented kids being let go ) .. you’ve been given every conceivable advantage to make it.

Having watched junior reps for a number of years , he’s not close to the most talented 9. He lacks the physical attributes of first grade 9s. Hes slow , small and despite what others have said over the years I don’t think his service is good . He does have an advantage over others in terms of his footy IQ but as others are bought up to speed as they go through pathways that advantage diminishes.

The Arthur’s are not going to be looked back on fondly by many fans at the club. Brads coaching was maybe what we needed when we were a directionless basket case early on , but he over stayed his time by about 6 years . Jake was given a rails run to nrl as we all know , and Matt was given every possible chance to have a career here and bolted as soon as his father met the fate of every other coach in the history of the game , many of whom achieved much more . Add to the fact Matt went to another club looking for an easier run to the top and they can F off . As a long time reader here I think some of the more outspoken posters are going to run out of a lot of their excuses and BS around the Arthur’s this year . The proof will be in the pudding . Bring on 25.

The important thing that you are missing is that the knights were prepared to let Brailey go and bring Arthur without having had a first hand proper look at your cousin Matt, because they were informed he could supplement Crossland

Amazingly, their long held plan to jettison Brailey had to be reversed once they got a look at how far behind first grade Matt Arthur actually is!

This is what I posted about before, as it would appear the Knights had accepted the truism from the rugby league hype machine that Matt Arthur was a future star…and then they unwrapped their Christmas present…

Despite your ridiculous attempts to deflect on behalf of your Arthur relatives, this actually appears to have happened here.

You’ve just made this up.
Proof please.

It’s all there mate and on many pages on this thread as well - if you can’t see it, then you don’t want to and that’s fair enough, but in that case this is a moot point

The only stuff I see on these pages is rumour mongering and conjecture.

You’ve seen what’s actually happened, put together that 1 + 1 = 5, and then made up a story which confirms your biases.
