Arthur's Personal Touch: SMH
Guru Eels mentor Brad Arthur has adapted surplus greyhound technology to nurture his ailing ex Manly stars.
Faced with injuries and a long drive each day from the Northern Beaches, Anthony Watmo and Kevin Foran will now make the round trip in an air conditioned greyhound box trailer. Arthur will personally tow them behind his SUV.
"The kids were really struggling, so I have had a greyhound trailer upgraded with hyperbaric technology. I'll pick up the boys and they can lie down in comfort, healing, while I drive them to training." Arthur said at a media event earlier today.
Arthur is thought to have acquired the greyhound box, complete with water bowls, from contacts in the now decimated dog racing industry.
And he's willing to share.
"Des has agreed to drop by and pick up the boys in the trailer on his way back to Collaroy, to save me driving back each day."
