McDermott: Parcell can still improve

Leeds’ boss Brian McDermott believes Matt Parcell can still improve despite another impressive performance against Warrington on Friday.

Parcell bagged a hat-trick as the Rhinos ran out comfortable 40-0 winners to move up to third in the Super League table.

“It was clinical and the further the game went the better we got,” said McDermott.

“But I’m just mindful we’re playing a team who aren’t where we know they can be. We went through that last year.

“We’ll judge it accordingly. I’m really pleased not to have a try scored against us, but at the same time we beat a team that is lacking confidence and not as good as they can be.

“He’s (Parcell) been good for us since he came here despite not having a pre-season with us.

“There’s still some improvement in him. I thought Rob Burrow when he went on was very influential as well. He posed a massive threat for us.”
