Former Cowboys coach Josh Hannay describes the 'highs and lows' of being an NRL mentor as he pays tribute to his friend Paul Green.
Last year Green coached Queensland in the State of Origin and stepped down after the Maroons lost the series."The highs are the highest of highs and the lows are the lowest of lows," he said.Hannay, who played with Green and later became his assistant coach, said he caught up with his "friend and mentor" at a Cronulla Sharks reunion in Sydney on Saturday."It was always good fun having a beer with Greenie. Life of the party. Plenty of good stories.
"I feel really fortunate now, given the circumstances, that I got to have that time with Greenie on Saturday night."John Cartwright was given an opportunity at the Cowboys under Paul Green, after he was let go by the Gold Coast Titans. "I can hear him now singing it. It didn't matter where you were, he'd find some way to get that song over the speakers," Hannay said.A minute's silence will be held across all NRL games this round to remember Green.
John Cartwright, who was an assistant coach to Green when the Cowboys won the 2015 tournament, said Green had given him a second chance at coaching.
