Todd Payten had an emotional reunion with his wife and family during the 2020 Covid lockdown. His partner and children have always been his support system.<\/p>\n
Payten, appointed as an interim coach for the New Zealand Warriors after the departure of Stephen Kearney, had to remain in Australia with the team in 2020.<\/p>\n
Many Warriors players and staff were isolated when the squad toured Tamworth in May. The team was then forced to remain in Australia owing to international border restrictions on both sides of the Tasman due to the global Covid-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n
When the club was obliged to stay in Australia, Warriors interim coach Todd Payten frequently praised the immense self-denial made by his players. Payten’s painful family absence, though, went mostly unnoticed.<\/p>\n
The former rugby player and current head coach of NRL side North Queensland Cowboys, Payten played with three different teams in the National League during his playing career. He made his ARL premiership debut in 1996 at 17 with Canberra Raiders. Later he joined Sydney Roosters and played for Wests Tigers.<\/p>\n
