McDermott wary of Catalan threat
Leeds coach Brian McDermott knows that his players must improve their form quickly, if they are to fend off the challenge of Catalan.
McDermott added a Challenge Cup win to his impressive CV earlier this year, but the Rhinos have since ended the season with a run of five straight defeats.
“We need to be careful, Catalan can beat anyone on their day,” said McDermott.
“They have a big set and some dangerous individuals, so we know what level we have to be at.
“We have had some tough defeats lately, but everyone’s feeling good, and it’s knockout rugby now.”
