Best current schoolboys coaches?

[rugbyscribe]

I'd be interested in hearing opinions about who are the best current schoolboys coaches amongst the various competitions and perhaps also opinions about those who aren't going so well in the coaching arena and why?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Lachlan Fear at Grammar has good credentials.

 

[Brian Westlake]

One for thought. Glen Cronan Ipswich Grammar formerly Nudgee. A fair and true man on and off the field

 

[rugbyscribe]

A good start is probably the 2012 coaches of Newington, Barker and Oakhill - does anyone know about their backgrounnds?

 

[Taipan168]

Current Nudgee College coach Anthony Connellan.
QLD GPS Premierships: 2008,2010,2011

 

[It is what it is]

Great to recently read that Geoff Mould, coach of the famous '77 Aust Schoolboys is still coaching up the north coast

 

[Sydneybra]

Brad Gill from Newington, GPS 1sts XV coach, also a Newington old boy

 

[Newbie]

Can we open this up to junior coaches or just schools?

What a team! Most went on to become legends, some even legends in both codes (I.e. Michael O'Connor - current Oz Sevens coach - dual international - State of Origin Immortal).

And the Ella's! There has been no comparison since!

Interesting conversation at Dinner I attended last night. Wording properly, but will post in other thread in regards to this. Eye opening to say the least

I don't follow you??

That's a good idea. I wonder if any of them are doing both roles or perhaps the schools frown on that?

Barker (CAS premiers), Oakhill (ISA premiers) and Newington (likely outright GPS premiers).

Damon Emtage from Brisbane Grammar (former Reds assistant coach) has transformed the BGS 1st program. Being appointed the position after BGS's woeful 2009 season going down by over 100 points, he changed the Grammar team to be in a top of the ladder Queensland GPS final round clash this weekend.​

From a previous thread it would appear papahatzis of Auggies has won 9 Waratah Shields over an extended period of years with two different schools. Auggies went from a good rugby league school with many 1st grade players produced to a rugby union strong hold.
Coached NSW to win this year. Unsure of any other previous success.

Damon Emtage Brisbane Grammar has got to be one of the best schoolboy coaches around, BGS just won first outright premiership in 40 years. And they didnt have many imports or a very big team, just an incredibly well drilled team.

Weren't their best 3 players at other schools until year 10?
