DUNGHUTTI Broncos captain coach Paul Davis will be back at the helm of the Group 2 representative squad in 2008.
The former Balmain five-eighth is keen to reinvigorate the representative side’s fortunes, which have failed to live up to expectations in recent years.
...

Davis, a level two coach, said he was looking at the Group 2 position as a stepping stone in his bid to become a full time rugby league coach within the next three to five years.
“I’m slowly moving up the ranks,” he said. “I’m looking to perhaps head back to Sydney and take up a coaching job. I’ve already had a couple of people approach me...

In the absence of any photo of Paul Davis you have to imagine Owen Craige at double his weight and twice his height.

Look although he doesn't explicitly state his intentions I think its pretty obvious that big Paul is willing to make a challenge for Sheens' coaching job.

He provides several advantages over Sheens:

(1) A player coach- As rare as hens teeth these days- I can only think of Shane Warne with the Rajasthan Rooters.

(2) He has led a team to more recent GF success.

(3) He has no connection to the Panthers, which rules out the possibility of nepotistic adquisition and promotion of old Panther pals.

(4) He has experiencing coaching in the hardest competition in the world (just ask Geordie Peats) and manages to get the most out of his players many who have had a tendency to go walkabouts.

Anyone else got a suggestion as to who could replace Sheens?

Hahaha .. i remember one night at marathon in 91 or 92 he carved up in a 12-10 win ... him and Benny were awesome that night. A very very talented player who went on to grace a stop-go sign with Leichhardt council ... and was a more frequent visitor to McDonald's than even dear old ROnald
