Former Garbo Matt King Named NSW Coach

Matt King, a former garbage collector and rugby league player with no first-grade coaching experience, has been appointed as the new coach of the NSW Blues.

The former player and one-time bin man admits he has not always believed he could be a head coach, but the Blues' recent formula suggests he may succeed in the State of Origin cauldron. King was a late bloomer as a player who worked as a garbage collector and barman before winning rugby league's highest honours. sportbet.rodeo
