"If they [Wigan] play well, the result takes care of itself"...

F.F.S. What an attitude for our coach to have.

Non story this - pretty similar to what Tony Smith always used to say, which is no surprise, namely that it's all about performance, rarely in the regular season about winning. for example - www.therhinos.co.uk/news/2605.php

What a wonderful British attitude. [iIt's not the winning, its taking part don't ya know?[/i

I feel a chorus of Rule Britannia is called for!

Inspirational leader!!!

Funny isn't it. Down at Quins we got used to him making barking statements in the Media that seemed to go unnoticed. And now you appear to be surprised when this famously useless coach dishes out more of the same.

Last year had a particularly memorable Media nugget from McDermott. We'd been beaten 40-4 by Huddersfield in a truly wretched performance, including a Completion rate of 27% from our side. McDermott said after the game 'we didn't do a lot wrong'.

I bet Brian McLennan is busting a rib laughing.

It's political correctness gone mad.

Or Brian McDermott gone made.

Brilliant!

He has only been he this season though, you had a few years to get used to the bizzare. hopefully he wont be here soon but if he stays I am sure we will also ignore the comments!

Way out of his depth.

At least its an insight to why he is a bad coach he probably says it every week and plays people even ones out of form so it does not upset them. Its a bit like my under 9s team when someone says its not about winning its the taking part, like fook. I would prefer the winning mentality as young as possible not that i am allowed to preach that like . Wonder if other countries practice this shi t too or is it just our pc mad one.

Jesus christ what a plank macdubmnut is,trouble is we're stuck with this idiot for the forseeable future.

I give up.

There's nothing wrong in wanting to win, as long as the approach is right, ie the lesser developed players are equally involved as the bigger, faster, stronger ones, they are encouraged to understand game structure and arent shouted and balled at by the coach when things dont go well. Too many coaches at junior level are hell bent on winning (mainly for their own ego) that's it's at a detriment to the skill development of ALL players, putting the biggest lad over the line time and again isn't coaching. That's the real issue.

the quicker his bags hit St Micheals Lane the better after those comments
