Michael Hagan and Mal Meninga did a great job with Qld for a very long time, and are now doing a great job for Australia.
Mal gets all the glory, but you only have to watch Mal talk for 2 minutes to know who the brains of that outfit is.
Don't let him near the salary cap because he wants to pay everyone twice what they are worth, but all the great gameplans that had NSW losing for a decade had trademark Hages stamped all over them, and a rookie coach could use that sort of football smarts as a sounding board.
