You know something. Mary’s worst Charity shield performance was in 2017.
A 32-14 loss.
Griffin hasn’t even coached a season yet.

Mary had players like Gareth Widdop, Josh Dugan, Jason Nightingale, Brett Morris, Frizell, peak Sims, peak Vaughan, Euan Aitken that had time to learn to pass. The list goes on. Hook has a whole heap of 18-23 year olds and a few old duds.

True Blue and former St George Illawarra coach Paul McGregor has been appointed coach of the Men’s Under 19s Origin team with four of the seven head coaching positions for representative pathways teams to be held by former players who have worn the sky blue jumper.

Why would you
A recipe for QLD dominance for a decade to come
A track record of not bringing thru players and not able to improve players , only deskill them

I actually think this is a role suited to him. Players like him and he can get a team going for short burst which is what an origin series is.

I agree. Mal Meninga was a poor club coach. So was Fittler. Both went OK as Origin coaches. Mary could go OK as well.

No this suits him, not for main origin aspirations which will never happen but his appointment is at the level of the other novice head coaches who also got appointed with no NRL 1st grade experience.
This tells me where he is at..it is certainly not at a NRL club coaching the elite.
