New coach Brad Arthur can make an instant impact on Leeds Rhinos at Warrington Wolves tonight (Thursday), his assistant Chev Walker reckons.
The former Parramatta Eels boss has been appointed until the end of this season and is expected to arrive in England in time to attend the Betfred Super League round 17 clash at HJ Stadium. Walker will be in charge of the team, along with fellow assistant-coach Scott Grix, but insisted: “He will have some input, just being there - the players are going to be playing for him the week after.
” Warrington are third in the table, four points clear of seventh-placed Leeds and won 34-8 at AMT Headingley three months ago. Rhinos will need a massive improvement from last week’s error-strewn performance just to compete and Walker warned: “They have been playing well, they are a top-four team and that’s a challenge in itself. “We just have to be disciplined and hold on to the ball. Our biggest challenge is performing to the best of our abilities, not worrying about what happened last week.
