Malcolm Norman Meninga or Mal as he is better known is the hot favourite to take over from disgraced Kangaroos coach Ricky Stuart who quit following his altercation with the English referees following Australia’s loss to New Zealand in the World Cup final.
Mal was the Australia Captain from 1982-1994 and is the current Queensland coach. In his playing days he had a spell at Saints from 1984 until 1985, playing 31 games scoring 28 tries and 8 goals.
