‘He will handle this’: Johns declares Arthur ready for NRL debut – Sydney Morning Herald
Parramatta’s halves coach, eighth Immortal Andrew Johns, believes all the hard work is about to pay off for teenaged Eels debutant Jakob Arthur.
Hes a strong defender. Thats his brief this week, organise your forwards and then defend strong.
I wouldnt say it comes easy to him. Hes not one of those players where, once the ball is in their hands, it looks like an extension of their body.

He has really had to work hard on it. Thats why its so exciting. You give some guidance to these guys and now they finally get their shot.
Its a day that will stand out for the rest of his life.
