Queensland Touch Football is excited to announce the Coaches & Managers that will lead their teams in battle when Queensland travel to NSW in June 2020 looking to raise the State of Origin Trophy for the first time in over 15 years.
QTF Performance and Pathways Manager, Tristan Mana will oversee a high-performance panel which will include a mixture of current and former national, state and NRL Touch Premiership coaches. QTF believes the appointment of these key coaches will give us the necessary experience to lead us into another State of Origin series.
The State of Origin will be played In NSW on Friday 19 June and Saturday 20 June 2020 at a venue soon to be announced by NSWTA.
With the recent announcement of the criteria around divisions for the 2020 and 2022 series and the opportunity for invitational teams for both Women’s 45 and Men’s 60, QTF will undergo a further process to appoint suitably qualified applicants to those roles.
Queensland Touch Football will release more information around eligibility and talent identification in the coming weeks.
