He said that there should be no confusion about his and Thompson's roles because they had been quite clearly outlined.

"I think Bomber and I are really clear on what our roles are going to be," he said.

"Bomber will be the head coach in 2014 and I will be the head coach in 2015.

"So I can't see there'll be any distraction in that."

He said that he would be on hand to give Thompson any help he required when he came back in August, but he believed he would spend more time on preparing the club for next season.

"One of the advantages is that it really gives me a head start on 2015," he said.

"More than any other club, I'll put the list together, make sure we're ready for the trade period, the draft period."
