For those who missed it this morning,. Daniel was interviewed on BSB by Jimmy Smith for about 10 minutes just after 8am.
Basically said the usual, impressed with the training, Poore and Shackelton will make it very interesting in the forwards each week, Tahu very impressive at training and we will use the expertise we have in the club to ensure he is fit when needed. Mentioned that the staff currently in charge of training believe they knew how best to handle him, but again repeated he is something special. Improvement will also come from the young players maturing and playing in semis etc.
Asked about resigning of Mortimer and Mateo, said it was his intention to keep them in the blue and gold for seasons to come and he and Ossie would be working to try and get that done. Also, that he wants Mateo to start games as he is an important part of the Parra machine.
Believe he said KK would be stepping up to challenge in the 7, and that he was excited to get up and go to training every day with this group.
Jimmy said you are an intense coach or something like that, Daniel said "really, I don't think I am but if they believe I am a grumpy old man and it works, good". Then said he wasn't used to green stuff growing so quickly and he needed to master mowing the lawn once per week.
