Xavier Coates Ep08 NRL, Broncos, Training, Social Media Challenges, Family TheDavidMeadPodcast

Xavier Coates is a professional rugby league player. He is also a great friend whom I’ve had the pleasure getting to know over the past year. At just the young age of 20 years he has already played at one of (if not) the highest possible arena of rugby league - State of Origin.
He is a proud Papua New Guinean and Australian who attributes much of his achievements to his parents and the people he has grown up around. Being challenged by his siblings in the backyard at a young age gave him the competitive drive he has today.
We talk about how he felt when making his debut for The Kumuls, Broncos, Qld Maroons, online bullying - how he deals with it, importance of recovery and much more.

His game will go to the next level with the storm, playing alongside his Kumul teammate in Justin Olam. Matt Geyer + Storm having had an interest when he was coming through must have had an influence on him to join the Storm.

[@eshay8546]

He's got no game, people have to put him in a comfortable position to look good, he can't come up with an outbreak himself, 2 years and he hasn't done much but run aways and corner tries, but he's very athletic though,

[@carloreid3545]

@@eshay8546 that’s all the storm need him to do they had fox last year but the other winger for the storm last year was so shit he bombed so many tries

[@pedropig519]

Xavier just seems like such a wholesome, genuine guy that every needs to have a friend like. Love Xavier man.

[@nigelnenggai9862]

Runs like an Emu but soars like a Kumul to reel in those bombs. 😊 Great stuff yet again.👏🏽

[@esesiale9251]

Man even the way Coates speaks you can tell he’s humble 👏🏽 gonna miss watching him with the Bronx at least he still gets to play for QLD lols ! Mead also a gun player 👌🏽

[@lovelifetips1706]

I'm happy Xavier said he is looking forward to put on the Kumuls Jersey again..

[@johnmacleod7789]

Try-saver tackle of 2021 - Xavier Coates!!

[@JoeKavana]

No wonder he’s going to Melbourne Storm. Good journey he’s played for two of his first clubs. 🎉

[@terroman1000]

Good luck with the Storm next year.

[@geenev3]

Solid interview thanks Meady! I’m a broncos fan since the beginning, It would have been great if X stayed with the broncos, but now knowing x had storms knocking prior to him leaving broncos it now makes sense, wish all the best and the luck and success with the storms, no doubt x will be teamed up with Jazy’o… Totally lethal combo that! Good luck X! Meanwhile “Lets Go! Broncos!!
