Only by a few months. It was about July 2018 he said he'd leave. He said he'd coach in 2019 which we should've had him do, but our CEO had his pride hurt and threw a tantrum. A better CEO would've got us Wayne Bennett as our coach as he was keen at the time, but circumstances stopped him.Gave them more notice than he gave us…..
Gotta be honest it's probably the best press conference performance I've seen
Quality man 🙏🏼
Was it this one ... 😉Said he's been offered a leadership position at Panthers so will probably do something with that.
He doesn't seem like someone who's driven by stats or greatness.. just likes to show that "im better than you."
I listened to his audiobook at the end of 2024 which made me think he's gonna give it up soon.
Good book for anyone who enjoys autobiographies

I love it - it would certainly be a good read.
