North Queensland coach Todd Payten has paid tribute Paul Green as a good father and good person as the Cowboys try to come to terms with the sudden passing of their maiden Premiership-winning coach.
After leaving Wests Tigers at the end of 2014, Payten joined Green's coaching staff at the Cowboys in 2015, featuring alongside Green as the Cowboys celebrated in maiden Premiership with a 17-16 Grand Final win over the Broncos."He gave me an opportunity to come up here when I didn't have a job, and that was his decision. He made me a better coach in many different ways. He certainly challenged everyone around him to be better and he was good company.
The Cowboys are expected to honour and pay tribute to Green further in their following home game in Townsville next week against the Warriors.
