Braden Hamlin-Uele can still recall the post-training workouts from Paul Green that made him consider whether the NRL was the right career path for him.
“Every time, I’d have to do five kilometres in under 20 minutes on the rower. And if I didn’t get it the first time, he’d make me do it again until I did.”
A talented under-20’s player who debuted under Green at the Roosters in 2013, Hamlin-Uele journeyed north in 2015 to reunite with his former coach and learn from some of the best players in the game – from Johnathan Thurston and Gavin Cooper to Kangaroos props Matt Scott and James Tamou, and rising star Jason Taumalolo.
“To get called into his office a few times wasn’t ideal but ultimately, he was the man to put his faith and trust in me to be able to don that Cowboys jersey for the first time.Green’s playing career saw him start at the Sharks in 1995 – winning the Rothmans Medal and playing 95 games in the Shire – before moving to the Cowboys in 1999.
“It’s shown me that I can actually dig deep which I want to, which is something I can definitely use on the field now.
