Coaches Honour Roll
Since 1922 the Club has appointed official Head Coaches (with a few exceptions), with the responsibility given to captains to lead the side in the formative years of the competition.
Some of the greatest coaches in the code's history have held the clipboard in charge of the Tricolours, including Arthur 'Pony' Halloway, Jack Gibson, Bob Fulton, Phil Gould and current mentor Trent Robinson.
