Paul Green was Maroon through & through.
He was a wonderful player but his greatest achievement came as a coach when he guided the Cowboys to a maiden Premiership in 2015.
I’m deeply shocked to learn of his death & send my condolences to his family, friends & the NRL community. pic.twitter.com/2999UC1rin

This is so sad. Paul was a close mate, we moved to Sydney together in 1993….the beginning of an outstanding NRL playing/coaching career.
My sincere condolences to Paul’s wife, children and his dear mum and dad.
Rest In Peace mate. https://t.co/idlWrorHeH

Shocked at the loss of league great Paul Green, who shaped the lives of so many young league players. Proudly represented QLD as a player and coach and coached the North QLD Cowboys to their inaugural premiership. My thoughts are with his wife Amanda and children Emerson and Jed.
