I was pretty proud of my situation, I took over a club that had won a couple of wooden spoons and we got to a period where we were week two finalists four years in a row and then got to a Grand Final.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve still got that desire. There\u2019s a few things that I\u2019ve learned that I could adjust if I come back home eventually and I want to have a crack at going one better and try to win an NRL competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On his decision to stay at Headingley, Arthur revealed that his daughter is set to join an English university: \u201cThere are a lot of good people at the Rhinos and I\u2019ve really enjoyed my time here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt I could make a difference with this group. I feel like we are getting better and the buy-in from the players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are growing this confidence and riding this wave. I have been looking with my daughter at universities (in the UK) so I was ready to commit to Leeds for another 12 months.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LEEDS RHINOS head coach Brad Arthur has admitted that a return to the NRL it still very much&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":80328,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-80327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80327"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80327\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
