Is John Strange the most underrated coach in Australian sport? With two NRLW premierships and a Dally M Coach of the Year award to his name, the Sydney Roosters NRLW coach has proven himself as a game-changer in women’s rugby league.
In this episode, we dive deep into John’s journey, from this year’s thrilling grand final win over the Sharks to his reflections on the incredible talent within the women’s competition.
He shares insights on some of his stars, the players he admires most, and what it’s like coaching his daughter Jasmin—part of this year’s premiership winning side.
For a man who values his privacy, a peek into John’s shed reveals so much: a signed photo of illusionist David Copperfield, pinball and karaoke machines, a punching bag, and old-school weights. It’s a tribute to his belief that nothing in life is achieved without hard work.
Oh, and did we mention his family’s talent doesn’t stop with him? John’s son Ethan is also making his mark with the Canberra Raiders in the NRL.
Don’t miss this fascinating chat with one of rugby league’s most accomplished and humble figures.
