After a bit of a hiatus due to Xmas Holidays, Covid infections and our Instagram being hacked by some Bitcoin donkey, we are finally back in the shed with the Head Coach of the Fiji Drua, Mick Byrne.  What Mick has achieved both as a player and a coach across three footballing codes is flat out ridiculous.  (Below is a small snapshot of his career).   Tune in this week to hear one of the most insightful chats we've had on the podcast, and get a behind the scenes look at what separates the best coaches, players and teams from a man who knows.

- AFL Premiership Winner with Hawthorne 1983
- 5th in the Brownlow in 1984
- 167 Games for the Demons, Hawks and Swans

Coach

- Kicking Coach with the Manly Sea Eagles through the mid to late 90's.
- Kicking & Skills Coach with the Wallabies from 1998 - 2000 & 2016-2020.
- NZ All Blacks Skills Coach 2005 - 2015 winning every trophy you can pretty much win.
