About Paul Green (rugby league)

Paul Gregory Green was an Australian professional rugby league football coach, best known for taking the North Queensland Cowboys to the NRL premiership in 2015, and a professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1990s and 2000s. As a coach, Green guided the North Queensland club to their first premiership in 2015 and to another grand final two years later. That season he became the club's first State of Origin representative, when he was selected as Queensland's halfback for Game 2 of the series. After starting the first 7 games at halfback, Green fractured his cheekbone which ended his season. The Roosters won the 2013 NRL premiership while Green's NYC side made the preliminary finals in the Under 20s competition.
