name the three coaches who have coached a club side,a state of oorigin side and an australian side.

 

[Biscuits]

Beetson, Bennet, Stanton

 

[Canteen Worker]

Bozo has never coached State of Origin so it isn't him, Gould never coached Australia, Anderson never coached Origin either.

Did Frank Stanton every coach SOO? I don't think that Artie coached Australia either.


Bennett is definitely one. I think that Don Furner is a second and I am wondering about the thrid!

 

[sue ridgepipe]

beetson and bennett right.the rest wrong.

 

[ManlyBacker]

Terry Fearnley - Cronulla, NSW & Oz

 

[Larry Tate]

Fatty,Stanton,Beetson.Fatty was captain once or twice on the NZ tour of '89.Ops,didn't read the question properly,did I?

 

[Biscuits]

There is actually 4 by my reckoning. Bennett, Beetson, Fearnley and Stanton. Stanton coached NSW in 82 and 84. according to ''State of Origin-gods of the grounds'' I hope it isnt providing me false information.

 

[Canteen Worker]

I thought of Stanton but couldn't remember him coaching NSW. I can't find a list of NSW coaches since 1980 and my memory of that time (in Origin) is a little hazy!
