"This isn't going to sit with some people, but we're not going there for a win; we're going to play well. I think there have only been two or three occasions this year where we came off the pitch and felt we'd done a good job. We've had some tough performances; the win at Crusaders in torrential rain was very strong as well. But I want to come away from Wigan thinking we've had a really good crack there and played really well.

"The reality is, with some of the personnel we've got, if they play well the result more or less takes care of itself. Our job is not to go there and win; we've got to make sure we play well. Then we can build next week instead of scratching our heads wondering why some of the things didn't come off."

I don't know what McDermott is thinking of here, and quite frankly, I'm worried about the future of the Rhinos with him in charge because he looks out of his depth.
A strange interview i agree, but i think i know what e means, but he hasn't put it over very well.
I think given time at Leeds he will sought things out. Iv'e heard there was a lot of changing room unrest in Bluey's last few months in charge at the Rhinos, and McDermott has had to pick up the peices.

Interested to hear your thoughts on both the interview and how Brian McDermott is fairing at Leeds in general?

I know Quins players tuned him out after a while, got fed up of being treated like marine recruits.
