I'd say the lack of announcement is insignificant. It's going to be the RL story of the week however it turns out so they were never going to announce on the weekend. If a decision has been made ( and it is possible they could still be working through details) I'd expect to see something Monday or Tuesday before Arthur's weekly presser, which will likely be Wednesday.

Having watched the presser I'm now 99.9% sure he will be staying, probably for a couple of years. Sounds very much like he's a recommended a stint in SL to Jake as a way of developing his career, and to be honest I could see the same scenario play out for Matt. The expanded quota and the expanded league is certainly going to attract young players on the periphery of NRL first grade, and both are in that category. Yes, his daughter is going back to Uni, but only for a year, and students have big holidays. That can be made to work. Most importantly he likes the job, the club, and the players - and they like him. I think we'll get good news next week.

That`s true AC his daughter being at Uni means he won`t see a lot of her whilst she`s there and the bigger holidays she gets she can travel here.
And he has already stated there isn`t a job for him to go to back home so another risk him sat there waiting for the phone to ring that might never happen and he regrets his decision watching McNamara/Rowley getting the plaudits.
It looks like if his son and to some extent daughter give their approval then he stays especially with the likelihood both his sons could be playing SL next year.

This was my take but it wasn't conclusive. Presumably, if he did not wish to stay, then there would be no conversation with his family on Sunday. It is more ensuring his family are ok with him staying.

Hull should go for the Steve and Ben McNamara father-son dream team.

I tend to go the other way, if he was staying he'd have agreed then. If there's a conversation still to be had he's likely of a feeling that he's not staying and needs convincing to stay.
