Cooper Cronk is expecting his former Melbourne teammate and support coach David Kidwell to bring a new aggressive, passionate edge to the New Zealand rugby league team.Kidwell wont have had a month heading up the Kiwis when they take the field at nib Stadium in Perth on Saturday against the Kangaroos.He took over the Kiwis coaching gig from new Warriors mentor Stephen Kearney on September 15.But Cronk believes that is time enough for Kidwell to shape his team the way he wants.Coaches want to put their fingerprints on their football teams, Cronk saidYou look at Mal, he played with a lot of pride and passion in his career and that is what he has brought to the Australian team as coach.David Kidwell is one of the most passionate New Zealanders with the aggression he brought to their football team, he will bring the same thing as coach.You can determine New Zealands strengths: (Jesse) Bromwich, (Jared) Waerea-Hargreaves, (Adam) Blair, (Jason) Taumalolo, (Kevin) Proctor, (Tohu) Harris all those guys are elite players in the NRL and they head up the New Zealand forward pack.On the back of that they allow (halfback Shaun) to do some special stuff.Probably the most indelible memory Kidwell has left league fans was his shoulder charge on Willie Mason, which left the Kangaroos prop with a black eye.And Cronk said Kidwell will leave his mark as a coach with the Kiwis.I have played with David and I have been coached by David and one thing I do know is that he idolises New Zealand sport, Cronk said.He is one very passionate Kiwi.You can see that in the way he speaks, in the way he played in that Kiwis jersey and the way he did the Haka during his playing career.So he is going to bring a dimension to that Kiwis team that not too many coaches have.

ATLANTA -- Manager Don Mattingly will wait until Friday to announce how the Miami Marlins will use newly acquired closer Fernando Rodney.Making a push to stay near the top of the NL wild-card race, the Marlins traded a minor league pitcher to get Rodney from San Diego on Thursday.Mattingly has yet to express a lack of faith in closer A.J. Ramos, who has converted straight 33 saves opportunities since last season, so it seems likely he would stay in that role for the immediate future.But Mattingly wouldnt say for sure. Rodney, whose 253 career saves are fifth-most among active pitchers, is expected to join the team on Friday in Atlanta.Right now, until I get a chance to talk to Fernando, theres nothing I want to talk about role-wise publicly, Mattingly said. But well make sure everybody knows whats going on and then well move on.Rodney has been outstanding this year, converting 17-of-17 saves chances with a 0.31 ERA in 28 games. The Marlins are his seventh team overall and sixth since 2011.Ramos has worked as a solid setup man for the Marlins in the past and might have begun this season in that role again if Carter Capps hadnt had a season-ending elbow injury in spring training.Mattingly spoke to Ramos before Thursdays game against the Braves, but the manager wouldnt say how they discussed his role. Regardless, Mattingly sees Rodneys addition as a winn-win situation.ddddddddddddThe Marlins began Thursday with a half-game lead over two teams in the NL wild-card standings.This is another piece to a really good bullpen right now, he said. Our guys at the back end have been very good. This just makes us stronger.Miami sent right-hander Chris Paddack to the Padres. Paddack, an eighth-round draft pick last year, went 2-0 with a 0.95 ERA in six starts this year for Class A Greensboro.The Marlins coveted Rodney for his experience and the depth he brings to a bullpen that ranks sixth in the NL and 13th overall with a 3.78 ERA.We look at it like weve added a guy whos been rolling this year, has a history of being really good late in games, and were looking forward to adding that piece to our pen, Mattingly said.Assistant general manager Michael Berger said Marlins president of baseball operations Mike Hill started talking trade with San Diego last week.The ability to access anybody right now is challenging to say the least, Berger said. A lot of hard work went into it and in the end we got better. It was already a strength for this club. Its one man stronger.Rodneys salary is team-friendly. His pays $1.6 million this year and includes a team option for next season at $2 million. ' ' '
