good, he's shit.
Queensland are on the lookout for a new coach after Paul Green has dropped a bombshell on the Maroons by quitting as Origin coach.
The Queensland Rugby League will begin a formal search for a new coach following the resignation of Green, who has opted not to seek re-appointment for the 2022 campaign.
Green suffered a drama-charged 2-1 series loss this season, with the Maroons rocked by a number of scandals including the Ronaldo Mulitalo eligibility saga and the Jai Arrow Covid breach affair.
The likes of Wayne Bennett, Mal Meninga, Billy Slater and Cameron Smith are sure to be considered for the coaching post as the Maroons look to reclaim the Origin shield in 2022.
It is understood the QRL wanted greater certainty from its Origin coach and is seeking a longer-term contract than the 12-month deal this season handed to Green, who has aspirations to return to a head-coaching role in the NRL.
“After much consultation and discussion post the Origin series, both the QRL and I have decided to move in different directions,” Green said.
“The basis for this is simple, the QRL wants to ensure that they have certainty around the Origin coach not wanting to pursue an NRL head coach job, and whilst I could give them that certainty for the 2021 series, I cannot guarantee that this would be the case in the future.
“We all understand the dynamics and volatility around NRL club head coach roles and ultimately, that is where I see myself when the right opportunity opens up.
“I agree with the QRL’s desire for stability in the Origin coach job and to that end, I felt compelled to be transparent with my broader plans and thus this decision. I have loved every minute of this job as it is every Queenslander’s dream to coach this team.

Billy Slater would have to be the favourite now.
It was out of him and Green for the job this year.

He wants to coach the new QLD team though and QRL want a long term commitment which I don’t think Wayne will go for.
