Coaches Quotes

Sean O’Loughlin has previewed Sunday’s friendly which will see the Warriors Assistant Coach take charge at AMT Headingley Stadium.

Speaking on his role, O’Loughlin said: “[Taking charge] gives us experience in prepping and delivering messages in changing room scenarios. It allows Matty not to worry too much on the technical and tactical side of the game, but instead he can focus more on watching individuals.”
