Matt King Named NSW Coach Despite No First-Grade Experience

The former player and one-time bin man admits he has not always believed he could be a head coach but the Blues' recent formula suggests he may succeed in the State of Origin cauldron. King was a late bloomer as a player who worked as a garbage collector and barman before winning rugby league's highest honours.

Although his distinctive hair is long shorn, the shaven-headed King remains an unusual choice to lead one of the sport's most high-profile teams. He has never coached in first grade, having spent a decade working behind the scenes. beltedkingfisher.blog
