Rothmans Medal

Biography

Brisbane junior captained Queensland Colts before winning Brisbane’s version of the Rothmans Medal while playing with the Easts club. Green followed his Brisbane coach John Lang to Cronulla, turning heads with the maturity and skill of his play. In 1995, he won Sydney’s prestigious Rothmans Medal award as best and fairest player. Following Cronulla’s defection to Super League, Green was selected as a reserve in the ANZac Test in 1997 before representing Queensland as a replacement in three Tri-Series matches. At the end of the season, he was chosen as halfback in the return Test with NZ in September but an injury kept him out of Australia’s tour of Great Britain. After missing just one match in four seasons, a serious shoulder injury restricted Green to just four matches and 1998 and he signed with Nth Queensland for 1999. Out of favour with coach Tim Sheens who preferred the halfback partnership of Scott Prince and Noel Goldthorpe, the North Queensland sacked Green midway through the 2000 season for allegedly negotiating with other clubs while still under contract and he turned out for the Roosters in 2001 (Green subsequently won an out-of-court settlement against the Nth Queensland club). Green’s 2002 campaign was put on hold when he injured his knee in the season opener against Souths and he moved to P’matta in 2003. Returning to Brisbane, he made five appearances for the Broncos during the representative season before retiring.
