The Squad's Leadership
The team was coached by Bob Fulton making his third Kangaroo Tour, though his first as coach. Mal Meninga was making a record third consecutive tour and his first as captain. Keith Barnes was team manager, along with Les Stokes.
Other staff included trainers Shaun McRae, Brian Hollis and the boxing trainer Johnny Lewis as team conditioner. Nathan Gibbs was team doctor and had made the controversial decision during the selection medicals to rule Kangaroo stalwart and likely captain Wally Lewis unfit for the tour and thus unable to make a third consecutive tour alongside Meninga.

Famous quotes containing the words squad and/or leadership:
“Americans think of themselves collectively as a huge rescue squad on twenty-four-hour call to any spot on the globe where dispute and conflict may erupt.”
—Eldridge Cleaver (b. 1935)
“This I do know and can say to you: Our country is in more danger now than at any time since the Declaration of Independence. We don’t dare follow the Lindberghs, Wheelers and Nyes, casting suspicion, sowing discord around the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt. We don’t want revolution among ourselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
