I hope not

I doubt it, I think if BA heads home he will have a hand in finding a suitable replacement from within NRL.

If you listen to the latest 'off the bench' thing with Sky, BA pretty much confirms he'll be home after this season for family reasons, which is fair. Any thoughts on who will be next?

Paul Rowley would be my guess

I would say Rowley without a doubt. However, i'm hoping Arthur stays another couple of years, he's only really just got going.. would be a big blow.

I get the impression Rowley is not interested but time will tell.

If we lose him we have to get the absolute best we can.

If we go unproven / cheap again we will be back to the beginning

ECW signed to play wing I believe.

Last winger to sign from Tweed Head Seagulls, none other than the club legend Joe Vickery.

Well that sent a cold shiver down my spine...Let's hope the new lad can actually catch a ball.

I watched the podcast with Langley this morning. I think it could well be him. He's a good communicator and has done a decent apprenticeship. Matt Peat has shown you don't need a big name if you're groomed correctly into the position.

Would not be surprised to see him line up on the wing initially although think it indicates that Arthur is keen to keep Connor out of the centres and in the spine positions where we can maximise his involvement in the game.
