Parramatta coach Brad Arthur is standing firm in the face of adversity, declaring he has the full backing of the club despite a string of recent losses.
The coach is exuding confidence, demonstrating unwavering support for young gun Blaize Talagi amidst speculation about the player's future.
The Eels find themselves in 12th place on the NRL ladder after a tough start to the season, but Arthur remains optimistic as they prepare to face off against the Broncos in Brisbane without star player Clint Gutherson.
With Dylan Brown stepping up as co-captain and Talagi taking on the No.1 jersey, Arthur is showing faith in his young talent and hailing him as the "future of the club".
Although reports suggest Talagi has options to explore outside of Parramatta, Arthur is determined to keep him in the fold as a key player in the team's long-term plans.
The coach's message to Talagi is clear: stay focused on the game and commit to the club, and the rest will fall into place.
In the face of uncertainty, Arthur remains resolute and continues to navigate the challenges ahead with a steely resolve, ready to lead his team to victory on the field.
With the support of his players and the club behind him, he remains determined to steer the Eels back to their winning ways.
