The guy was/is John Winder who I know reasonably well. They have moved him to a completely different role away from coaching which surprises me as John is really rated within the game and spent time with Melbourne Storm in their set up.
John Winder’s contract as Assistant Coach ends in 2021 and he will take up a senior role with the Club’s partner company, Competence Development.
As Head of Youth in 2011, John started the careers of many players including George Williams, Ryan Hampshire, Ryan Sutton and Dom Manfredi. He was promoted to First Team Assistant Coach and in this position, the Club went on to win two Super League Grand Final in 2016 and 2018, the World Club Challenge in 2017 and the League Leaders’ Shield in 2020.
His new role will see him leading the way in the digital sector – helping to design and implement new applications and content to support schools and training establishments, community Rugby League and elite sport.
