Meet the brothers at the heart of England Wheelchair's pursuit of World Cup immortality
Never before has a team from these shores won back-to-back Rugby League World Cups.
That is the piece of history within England Wheelchair's grasp as they prepare to renew their rivalry with France in Wollongong.
The Coyd brothers have been central to England's wheelchair story for years. Now coach Tom and player Joe are at the heart of an attempt to take it into uncharted territory.
"It would be amazing, wouldn't it?" said Tom, who masterminded England's 2022 triumph on home soil. "That's what we came here to do and what we've worked really hard for in the last four years.
"We've been put in our place along the way. I remember our first game after the 2022 World Cup when we were humbled at the First Direct Arena by a France team that came with revenge in mind.
"To have the opportunity to go back-to-back and be the first team to win the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup three times, that's a piece of history we're hunting as a group."
Joe is one of several survivors from England's dramatic victory over France in Manchester four years ago. His performances were rewarded with a place in the Team of the Tournament.
Alongside fellow 2022 winners Rob Hawkins, Lewis King, Nathan Collins and Jack Brown, Coyd is 80 minutes away from going where no England player has gone before.
"We all know that's on the cards," said Joe, who is playing at his fourth World Cup. "It's something we've spoken about throughout the year.
"It's such a special group. The group we've got here now deserve to win it because of all the hard work we've done.
"Going back-to-back and winning it in consecutive cycles would be really special."
Wheelchair rugby league runs deep in the Coyd family. Father Martin was an England international who played a significant role in the sport's development and remains closely involved as the team's general manager.
His two sons have also shared a club environment at London Roosters, where Tom previously coached his younger brother.
The unique family dynamic has continued with England – and the elder sibling would not have it any other way.
"It's the hardest thing that I've ever done from a work perspective but also the most rewarding," said Tom.
"It's taught me loads about how to be a good brother and a good coach. Hopefully Joe agrees!
"It is an interesting dynamic. I think there's a reason it doesn't happen very often because it can be very difficult. But in our quirky ways, Joe and I find a way to make it function.
"I think it elevates the connection in the team. Considering it's a representative team that comes together less frequently than a club side would, we've got an incredible amount of love and trust in our group. I feel that bleeds out from the relationship Joe and I have, and our dad who is part of the staff as well."
Joe acknowledges that being brothers brings a different dynamic to the player-coach relationship, allowing them to be more candid with each other than might otherwise be the case. He is equally appreciative of the opportunity to share the experience with his family.
"Like Tom says, it's rewarding," added Joe.
"I've been lucky enough to do this for a while and it's such a special occasion and privilege every time but having my brother and dad alongside me nudges it on a bit further.
"I know I'm in a very lucky and privileged place to be able to do this alongside my family.
"I don't know another place where we'd get this opportunity so we're making the most of it."
The Coyd brothers have been living the dream in Australia but how they look back on the experience will depend largely on what happens in Friday's final. After all, Tom has built a team that expect to win.
England entered the tournament as favourites and have lived up to their billing, producing their best performance yet in the semi-final to sweep hosts Australia aside.
They now have a date with destiny against old foes France.
"It's knockout sport and anything can happen on the day," said Tom.
"It's hugely important that we ride those waves of expectation. Your reality is the story you tell yourselves and when you spend so much time together, controlling that narrative as a collective is super important.
"When the guys push out on Friday, I don't expect that they'll feel the weight of expectation; I expect them to feel confident that they've earned the right to be a fancied team.
"But France have that right, too. They've also been a high-performing international outfit in the last four years – and have beaten us in the last four years. That's what makes it such an exciting contest."
