Mat Rogers — who spent the past weekend with Paul Green at a Cronulla players reunion — says his former teammate will be remembered as an 'incredible competitor'.
He was linked to an assistant position at NRL newcomers the Dolphins, as well as other head coaching roles."He's proven to be a great coach and he still had plenty of years left in him at that level but, unfortunately, we're never going to see it, which is really sad.""This is so sad. Paul was a close mate. We moved to Sydney together in 1993 … the beginning of an outstanding NRL playing/coaching career," Lang wrote.
Green moved to the Sharks in 1994 after a stint with Easts Tigers in the then-Brisbane Rugby League. He won the now-defunct Rothmans Medal — the NSWRL/ARL best and fairest award — in 1995 and, two years later, was a member of the Sharks' side that reached the Super League grand final.After leaving the Sharks following the inaugural NRL season in 1998, Green played with North Queensland, the Sydney Roosters, Parramatta and Brisbane Broncos before retiring in 2004.
Green then went into coaching, winning back-to-back Queensland Cup titles with Wynnum Manly in 2011 and 2012. He joined Trent Robinson's coaching staff at the Roosters in their 2013 premiership season, before replacing Neil Henry as Cowboys head coach the following year.
