IN 1979, a young Graham Lowe came from Otahuhu to Brisbane and coached Norths.
The Devils would win the premiership in 1980 against Souths and Lowe would coach Wigan, New Zealand, Manly and Queensland in a huge coaching career.
I sat down with Sir Graham Lowe and spoke about that young coach and leadership.
You were only 32 in 1979 when you came across to coach Norths. The Devils had come last in 1978. What made you take the role on so young?
Bob Bax rang me and said he’d be following me in New Zealand for the last couple of years and he wants to bring me over to coach Norths. I didn’t even know what Norths was to be honest.
