Just a trial but was so, so impressed on the weekend. I wanted us to pursue Blake Mozer who's sort of a skinny Harry Grant type, but Arthur may actually be the better prospect. Very excited to see him in first grade and hopefully we've got a 250+ game player on our hands here.
 
Ever since I saw the U19s SOO I knew he was a gun player and the trial match he actually blew me away the footy IQ on picking when to run and pass is already elite, his pass is already good, defence is good honestly is seems like a harsh thing to keep him out round 1

With what he has already at such a young age by 25 I see him representing Australia certainly a big future ahead of him.

Knock on wood nothing bad happens and he continues his trajectory.
 
He's very young and very small.
I think we should look after him this year by only giving him 20 minutes or so when players are tired.
He'll have a lot of impact and not get bashed up too bad.
 
He is small but no smaller than other great hookers. There's nothing unusual about his height for a hooker. 83kgs is probably a few kgs short of where he'd like to be but he is still 19.

If he looks like he can handle the physicality in FG it's probably because he can. Based on what we saw of him, he appears to be comfortable.
 
I hope his injury is minor but all being well we have hooker covered with Brailey and Crossland and if they perform like they can then Arthur can develop some more in Cup, nice to have the position well covered
