Brian McDermott praises Leeds Rhinos defence

Leeds Rhinos coach Brian McDermott has praised his team's defensive qualities during their 28-22 win over Warrington Wolves in the Super League.

Ryan Hall went over twice for the champions at Headingley Carnegie Stadium on Sunday as they climbed up to fifth place in the table.

"I didn't think we were overly dominant," McDermott told Sky Sports News.

"I thought there were periods where we looked good but there were periods where Warrington had momentum and a combination of desperate defence by us and some lost ball by them kept them out."

The Rhinos continue their campaign on Friday when they host London Broncos.
