Moranbah Miners coach Paul Bramley says sitting out the 2020 Rugby League Mackay and District season was a blessing in disguise, as the former Mackay Cutters boss readies his side for a return to action this year.
When we last heard from Bramley he declared his title as Moranbah coach was nothing more than “fake news” until he led the proud club in an official fixture.
His comments came after the Miners made the difficult decision to withdraw from the restructured 2020 RLMD season, due to concerns over potentially bringing COVID-19 from Mackay back to the mining town.
But the season away has done a world of good for the club and its new coach, Bramley said.
