It's been an area of frustration for supporters, and Arthur has already seen it.
Brad Arthur insists Leeds Rhinos must embrace their tough run-in, despite their ugly record against the top six sides. Arthur will take charge of his first game as Rhinos coach on Saturday, in what will kickstart a ten-game mission to secure a play-off spot.
"I get it," Arthur said. "It's a short period, I wish I had a pre-season with these guys because I can guarantee we'd make a lot more significant changes and improvements. But the team, the aim is that we need to be better than where we sit right now, and I see it as a positive that seven of those ten games are against the teams we need to take points off.
However, they are not areas that will be specifically addressed, with Arthur instead focused on delivering a style of play that fixes some of the issues that have held the side back this year. "So we're talking about the style of footy we want to play and how we've got to build a game, hopefully that cuts out some of the errors. If you're going to go through a game making errors but on the back of it, more importantly, is we how we respond to them. You can't go error, then penalty or poor efforts in defence, that's when the error becomes an issue. A lot of good teams make errors, but they handle it, then get back into the flow of the game.
