Justin Hodges is keen to be Wayne's understudy at the Dolphins. Not necessarily bad news for us. Go learn the ropes there, Justin, and let us know when you want to come back:
"You can’t expect to be coaching an NRL team if you don’t have your own teams in the lower levels and I’m ready to make that jump. Redcliffe have a board meeting on Wednesday night to decide who will be coaching. I am waiting on an answer."
“I’m definitely keen to step up. I was there as an assistant to Adam Mogg and when he resigned (last week), I didn’t know what was going to happen, so I spoke to a few people at the Dolphins and they said they want me to stay around."
“I said I will put my hat in the ring if you want me to. Hopefully I can get something there, whether it‘s coaching the Queensland Cup team or even working with the Colts guys. Coaching a State League side and moving up to an NRL assistant and then being an NRL coach is the dream and that’s what I’m working towards.”
“I’ve always wanted to coach and my end goal is to get to the NRL. I know I have a long way to go and working with Redcliffe is a chance to build more experience and it’s even better that Wayne will be the coach of the Dolphins NRL team."
“To be able to get advice from someone like Wayne would be priceless. He is involved in the Redcliffe set-up so having someone like Wayne around would be perfect for me in terms of my development as a coach."
“There’s a few coaches in the NRL you would love to learn from and Wayne is at the top of the list. I’ve known Wayne a long time as a player at the Broncos so to work with him in coaching would be awesome.”
“I’ve been developing as a coach. I’ve been in the Queensland Origin system and I’ve done the Queensland under-20s as well, we were the first coaching staff to beat NSW in six years. I definitely want to coach in the NRL one day and my time at Redcliffe under ‘Moggy’ has given me the scope to learn as much as I can as a coach.”
