Timeline

1974

Stanley Gene (born 11 May 1974) is a Papua New Guinean former rugby league Kumul (#166) player and Assistant Coach of the Hull F.C..

1994

He was a regular for the PNG Kumuls for 14 years between 1994 and 2008, and captained the side on at least three occasions, including being the PNG captain during the 2008 Rugby League World Cup, before retiring from international rugby league following the 2008 tournament.

Gene is considered a hero in his home country and almost universally regarded as a rugby league legend.

Gene was born in Goroka.

He made his test début for PNG against France at the Lloyd Robson Oval in Port Moresby during the France's tour of Oceania in 1994.

Selected as a substitute for his first test, Gene contributed a field goal in PNG's 29–22 win..

1995

Having moved to England following an impressive showing for PNG in the 1995 Rugby League World Cup, Gene enjoyed a long career in the British game with spells at Hull Kingston Rovers, Huddersfield Giants, Bradford Bulls, Hull F.C. and Halifax.

Gene was a versatile player with the ability to cover virtually any position on the pitch, though he spent most of his test career playing at stand off (off-half).

After playing in the 1995 Rugby League World Cup for Papua New Guinea, Gene was offered a contract to play for Hull Kingston Rovers in the old Second Division.

He then went on to play for the Kumuls during the 1995 Rugby League World Cup in England, and also played in the 2000 and 2008 World Cups.

1996

After moving to the United Kingdom, Gene played for Hull KR from 1996 to 2000.

He scored 94 Tries in 111 matches during that period, and was a massively popular figure at the club.

He moved to Gateshead and was then forced to play for rivals Hull F.C. when they merged.

However, he had a frustrating time there, mainly featuring as a substitute.

2001

He was granted a release from his contract midway through 2001 and allowed to look for another club.

Gene signed with Huddersfield Giants midway through 2001, but was unable to save them from relegation.

However, he was instrumental in the club's unbeaten run and promotion back into Super League the following year.

He went on to establish himself as one of Huddersfield's most important players.

2006

Gene moved to the Bradford Bulls for the 2006 Season.

Along with fellow Papua New Guinea national Marcus Bai, Gene's first match for the club was their win the 2006 World Club Challenge against the Wests Tigers.

He played from the interchange bench and scored a try in the Bradford Bulls' 30–10 victory.

After only one season with the Bradford Bulls, he was allowed to rejoin Hull Kingston Rovers.

In 2006, he paid for the installation of electricity in his home village of Segu, located on the outskirts of Goroka.

2007

Gene returned to Hull Kingston Rovers, his first English club, following their promotion to Super League in 2007.

2008

In addition, he represented his country in numerous test matches before announcing his intention to retire from international rugby league following the 2008 World Cup.

Following PNG's exit from the tournament, he was tearfully carried from the field by his teammates and given a standing ovation by the 16,239 strong crowd at the Dairy Farmers Stadium in Townsville, Australia (his last game was a 46–6 defeat by the Kangaroos).

He is regarded in Papua New Guinea as a sporting legend.

2009

He provided experience and a steadying influence as the club established itself in Super League, before being allowed to leave at the end of the 2009 season.

2010

He previously coached Gateshead Thunder and assistant coach at Hull Kingston Rovers and served as the Papua New Guinea Kumuls head coach in 2010.

Gene's representative career lasted over a decade.

Within a few days, it was announced that Gene would be installed as his replacement.

The first game under Gene's leadership was the annual fixture between PNG and the Australian PM's XIII.
