Quote: Tarquin Fuego "I met Mal Maninga and chatted with him after a
England v Aus match in Melbourne
They were doing a warm down drill the next morning
with Adrian Lam running it.
They were catching funny shaped small objects in a circle.
Hand eye drill.
Anyways Mal said he’d heard of my work as a Youth
Coach and that I was in Aus.
He was surprised I had turned down the offer to run
hull kr Youth- which is true !!!
I chatted to Cam there as well and reminded him of our long chat
In Macca’s where I implored him to sign for FC.
Cam couldn’t remember- true !
I met Craig Bellamy twice and he’s an intense guy.
We sponsored Storm so he came to our work twice in the 4 years as I was HOSTPLUS.
Tim Glasby played SoO simply because he played for Storm
Otherwise a typical workhorse type of player.
He worked with me as a trainee financial adviser.
He said I was a ‘David Brent’ style of manager.
I’ve been to see Storm train a few times and last year
I had 2 meetings about looking to coach at Storm with
The U16s. I went down and watched match at Pakenham.
I decided family time and golf was more important after a
long think.
So there you have it.'"
You should arrange to meet Jake on your next UK visitation?
He will take you down to his golf club and you'll be able to add him to your already impressive, burgeoning, [i'I've met the stars'[/i line-up.
