00:00I was really happy with last year's win against Tottenham, you see what they did this morning to beat them 3-0.
00:09A quality team, I thought we did well and doing this, winning 2-0, I thought was an absolute credit to our players and our staff.
00:20The Bury man, Samoa have had a lot more time on the field than what we have, but you couldn't tell.
00:28The way we played, I thought was fantastic rugby, especially in the first test.
00:32You said last week that that performance would trouble Australia, would this one have stepped up and troubled Australia?
00:39I don't think so, and Ben said the same from Samoa, with the jury as well, we need to get better.
00:47We know what we're capable of inside the group, the bubble, and we know what we need to improve, no doubt about that.
00:55Given the scale of the challenge next year with Dan Likely coming here, have you got any idea yet about what 25 looks like in the run-up to it?
01:03I think you spoke this week about a meaningful mid-season window, are you hopeful you'll get as much time as you would like with the players throughout 25?
01:10Yeah, I am, and I've had loads of messages from three police clubs and they all support the international calendar and whatever happens in the mid-season.
01:19They know how important it is, this ASI series at home, it needs to be well supported, it needs to be three fantastic games, I'm sure it will.
01:28But everyone has done a great job in the commercial and the RFL to get these games on and make sure the ASIC is on, and I'm sure the mid-season break will be used to make sure we're ready.
01:40We need to take advantage of that and make sure we're ready.
01:43Is it locked in yet, what are you going to be doing mid-season, or is it still up in the air?
01:47It's still up in the air, I'd like to have a camp, I'd like to have a tough game, there's a few things I like, but what I get might be a different thing.
