Paul "Mary" McGregor (born 31 December 1967) is the head coach of the St. George Illawarra Dragons in the National Rugby League and an Australian former professional rugby league footballer. An Australian international and New South Wales State of Origin representative {{rlp|ce}}, McGregor played his club football for the Illawarra Steelers and then the merged St George Illawarra Dragons at the commencement of their joint venture in 1999. He remained with the club and was appointed interim coach following the sacking of Steve Price part-way through the 2014 NRL season.

Background

McGregor was born in Dapto, New South Wales, Australia.

Playing career

McGregor played five seasons of first grade at Dapto before being signed by the Steelers at age 23 in 1991. He made his first grade debut in round 1 against the Penrith Panthers at WIN Stadium on 17 March.

McGregor represented the NSW Blues in fourteen State of Origin games between 1992 and 1998. He added a touch of class to the Blues backline in the 1990s with his trademark step and wonderful offloads. He was a powerful runner of the football out wide and provided a great combination with his club teammate, Blues winger Rod Wishart.

Paul McGregor made his Test debut for Australia from the bench in a one-off Test against France on 6 July 1994, scoring a try in the Kangaroos record 58-0 win at the Parramatta Stadium in Sydney. At the end of the 1994 NSWRL season, he was selected to the 1994 Kangaroo tour, though his tour came to a premature end with a hamstring injury suffered in the Kangaroos 80-2 win over the Sheffield Eagles.

He was Man of the Match in Game II of the 1997 State of Origin series.

He had played 124 games with the Steelers club from 1991 to 1998, scoring 44 tries. He was a part of the Steelers 1992 Tooheys Challenge winning side that defeated the Brisbane Broncos.

McGregor was the foundation captain of the St.George-Illawarra joint venture from 1999, leading the team into the 1999 NRL Grand Final against the Melbourne Storm.[3] He spent time on the sidelines with injury that year and following a shoulder reconstruction he did not play during the entire 2000 NRL season. McGregor returned to the club in 2001 on an incentive based contract and retired at the end of the season, having played 34 games with the joint venture club.

McGregor was sidelined by a shoulder injury and so could not represent Scotland at the 2000 Rugby League World Cup[4]

In 2011, the Illawarra Rugby League's centenary year, McGregor was named at centre in the Illawarra 'team of the century'.[5]

Coaching career

McGregor joined the Dragons' coaching staff in 2002 as a strength and conditioning coach, a position he also held with the NSW Blues.[6]

In 2009, with Wayne Bennett joining the club, McGregor left and took up the head coaching job at the Western Suburbs Red Devils club in the Illawarra Rugby League competition.[7]

McGregor coached the Illawarra NSW Cup team in 2012 and 2013 before taking up the assistant position at St George Illawarra. His successor at the Illawarra Cutters was another former Illawarra player, Ian Millward.

Following the announcement of the sacking of incumbent first grade coach, Steve Price, McGregor was elevated to coach of the top tier team in May 2014, initially until the end of the 2014 season.[8] Following improved form, McGregor was announced as the full-time head coach for the next three seasons until the end of 2017.[9]

In 2015, McGregor coached the Dragons to finish in 8th position. This was the club's first finals appearance since 2011.

In 2017, many predicted the Dragons to finish in the bottom four, due to a disappointing 2016 season, where the Dragons were extremely poor in attack. In Round 1 2017, St George Illawarra beat the Penrith Panthers 42-10.[10] St George Illawarra would go on to lose in Round 2, but win the next 5 games in a row. Due to improved form, the McGregor was re-signed by the Dragons on the 8th of June 2017, until the end of 2019. In the second half of the 2017 season, St George suffered a terrible drop in form with the club winning only 4 of the last 11 matches. This drop in form culminated with the club losing against Canterbury in the last round of the regular season. Before the match, St George only needed victory over their lower placed opponents to qualify for the finals as North Queensland had lost the earlier match. Due to St George losing the game, North Queensland went on to finish in 8th place and qualify for the finals. This eventually lead to North Queensland reaching the 2017 NRL Grand Final.[11][12]

In the 2018 season, McGregor guided St George to a 7th place finish as they qualified for the finals. At one point, St George were sitting equal first on the ladder after 20 rounds but for the third season in a row, the club suffered a late season form slump winning just 4 from the remaining 11 matches. McGregor himself came under criticism for the form slump with some sections of the media claiming his job was on the line. In week one of the finals, St George faced Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium with the home side being heavily fancied before the match. St George went on to defeat Brisbane 48-18.

The following week, St George Illawarra played South Sydney in the second elimination final. The Dragons lead late until the end of the match when Adam Reynolds kicked 3 field goals to win the match for Souths 13-12.[13][14]
