Transcript

00:00 Sam, Justin, you've been announced as new co-coaches at Kalora-Nurat.

00:04 What's the feeling like taking on this job and taking it on together as well?

00:08 Yeah, it's exciting.

00:10 Yeah, it should be good to see how we go.

00:14 Yeah.

00:16 Yeah, same. Pretty excited.

00:18 It was a good fun group this year.

00:20 So I'm really keen to see where we can go next year.

00:24 Taking it on with WOL, it's going to be a good fun time.

00:28 You guys haven't coached before, my understanding, but maybe have some aspirations.

00:33 What kind of got you guys over the line that you wanted to give it a crack this year?

00:37 Yeah, myself, I've wanted to do it for a few years now.

00:42 And the timing sort of came in pretty right this year.

00:47 So, yeah, I think that and just the club itself,

00:51 they've let me sort of come in and do sort of as I can or as I feel.

01:00 And, yeah, they just feel like a real good fit for myself, for WOL.

01:07 Yeah, looking forward to seeing what we can do.

01:10 Yeah.

01:11 Yeah, pretty much the same.

01:14 And also for the both of us too, just individually, probably be a bit hard,

01:19 but between the two of us, yeah, we should be able to do it together, hopefully well.

01:24 And, yeah, pretty much the same as what Sam said.

01:29 Obviously off-season at the moment, but I guess pre-season will quickly come around the corner.

01:34 But, yeah, any thoughts so far of just like what you're hoping to kind of put together with this group

01:41 and any, I guess, where you'll look to push once the season rolls around next year?

01:47 Yeah, we're still to discuss about that.

01:50 But I think we're both first and foremost, we want to make finals and then push deep into finals.

01:58 That's where Chlora's been the last couple of years.

02:00 So hope to do that again.

02:03 But, yeah, we'll work on pre-season first and build it week by week and see where we can take it.
