Ian Schubert - Later Years

Later Years

Even before he retired as a player in 1989, Schubert had been coaching Western Suburbs' reserve grade side. He showed his talent as a lower grade coach with Canterbury-Bankstown in the early 1990s but with the Super League split and Chris Anderson's tight grip could never get to coach first grade. In recent years Schubert has been back in the headlines in his new role as auditor for the National Rugby League's salary cap and a number of unsavoury comments concerning breaches of the regulations.

On April 22, 2010, he discovered that the Melbourne Storm had been cheating the salary cap system for over five years, thus making headlines not only in New South Wales and Queensland but also the rest of the country and even overseas.

Famous quotes containing the word years:

    Three years she grew in sun and shower,
    Then Nature said, ‘A lovelier flower
    On earth was never sown;
    This Child I to myself will take;
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    It would strike me as ridiculous to want to doubt the existence of Napoleon; but if someone doubted the existence of the earth 150 years ago, perhaps I should be more willing to listen, for now he is doubting our whole system of evidence.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
