Paul Green cause of death

The tragic death of Paul Green at the age of 49 in his Brisbane home on Thursday morning has plunged the rugby league community into sadness.

Green had not mentioned feeling ill prior to his unexpected dying, according to The Daily Telegraph, which conducted a post-mortem to ascertain the cause of his demise.

Who was Paul Green?

Green was a fantastic player who played over 150 games in the top division, seven times for Queensland, and was well-known in the rugby league community.

However, Green is perhaps most recognised for his coaching career, having guided the North Queensland Cowboys to their first championship in 2015.

Green died on Thursday morning, and a post-mortem will be performed soon, according to The Courier Mail.

Green played 95 games for Cronulla before switching to the Cowboys last season, and he was just in Sydney last weekend for the club’s ex-players reunion. Before concluding his playing career at Parramatta and Brisbane, he was also a member of the 2002 Sydney Roosters premiership winning team.

Peter V’landys, the chairman of the Australian Rugby League Commission, expressed his condolences to Green’s friends and family.

Paul Green career

After retiring from playing, he transitioned to coaching, leading the Cowboys to their first-ever championship in 2015 before taking over the Queensland Maroons Origin team.

Green’s biggest accomplishment, among many others in his playing and coaching career, was leading North Queensland to its first Premiership in 2015.

When Green originally became the team’s head coach in 2014, the Cowboys won the first NRL Auckland Nines competition.

North Queensland continued its preseason success during the regular season, placing fifth on the ladder until being shockingly defeated by the Roosters in the semifinals.

The Cowboys won the championship this time around after improving to third place in 2015 and defeating the Broncos in a historic game of golden points.

Even without the great halfback Johnathan Thurston, North Queensland returned to the grand final under Green’s direction in 2017, however Melbourne overwhelmed them.

Thurston disclosed the first conversation he had with Green that resulted in the title victory in 2015 last year.

His wife Amanda and two kids, Emerson and Jed, are still living.

After leaving his position as coach of the Origin team in recent months, Green has been linked to several open coaching positions. Last Saturday night, Green participated in an event for Sharks “old boys.”

Tributes to Paul Green

Lewis Ramsay, the chairman of the Cowboys, praised Green and his contributions to the team.

Paul first came to our club as a player in the late 90s and was the club’s first Origin representative, but his lasting legacy emanated from his seven-season tenure as head coach of the North Queensland Cowboys

Cowboys chairman Lewis Ramsay

Our team went from being a finals contender to an immediate premiership force after hiring Paul as head coach, which resulted in the historic 2015 Grand Final victory.

Can’t believe the Paul Green news this morning. Achieved it all as a player and coach still had so much to give, taken way to soon. Thoughts and prayers with family and friends. Makes you realise to take nothing for granted. RIP 🕊
