Was expecting some cliche comments about coming up against Melbourne but turned out to be a brilliant, honest, intriguing, often brutal, look into his life and mindset. Also of the club too, he freely admits that he can tell they're players in the changing room who don't like him as a person, can't imagine any other SL coach saying the things he said. Also confirmed what I thought that he looks perhaps at what the player is like as a person rather than just what they can do will a ball in hand.
If you've opened this thread I definitely recommend clicking on the link.

| Quote The average bloke from the North has this kind of mentality. I know that's a huge generalisation but it applies a lot to blokes from Yorkshire. They're very forthright and opinionated – quite often without any foundation or substance. The way I was brought up is in absolute conflict to coaching. I didn't think much and, basically, shot my mouth off. If it sounds good, it must be good.McDermott shrugs, as if in forgiveness of his past mistakes.

Pretty much sums up the insular attitude that has stifled RL for so long, be it fans, players, chairmen or folk working in the media. |

Indeed, he said similar at the development plan launch. |

See Castleford BoD for comparison it would seem. |

Great article, you either like the guy or you don`t, but I do.
As a London fan I was a bit disapointed that his time down here was barely mentioned. He did some good work but towards the end of his time he was completely unapproachable.....I would love him to do a similar interview on his London experience, what was good/bad and why he thinks we are totally unable to make any long term improvement.
