The 56-year-old won two series from seven in charge of NSW across two stints. "Matty King is a first grade coach now, he's ready to go," Daley said. "He's been there, he's been a servant and he's had great input over the last three years."

"I felt like it was the best time to leave and the best time to pass the baton onto someone else."
